Chevrolet Pick-up – C/K range outside the named models, V8 from 4.0 to 7.4 litres, C10 to C30 payload classes, Custom and Cheyenne trim, four-wheel-drive Type K
This collective page covers Chevrolet pickups outside the separately listed ranges, mainly from the C/K generation of the 1960s to 1980s. C denotes rear-wheel drive, K four-wheel drive — Type K in the model designation confirms a 4x4 version; the number after the letter denotes the payload class, C10 the half-ton and C30 the one-ton version. Cheyenne and Custom are trim lines within the C/K range, with Cheyenne denoting the upper and Custom a mid-level finish. The designation 350 refers to the 5.7-litre V8 from the Chevrolet small-block family, widely used in American pickup construction.

The register lists 7 versions with a V8 of 3,974 to 7,435 cm³. Unladen weight ranges from 1,668 to 2,740 kg, gross vehicle weight from 2,359 to 3,500 kg. Width runs from 1,990 to 2,100 mm.
Chevrolet pickups of this generation shaped the North American light commercial vehicle market for decades and competed directly with Ford's F-series and Dodge's D/W models. With a sturdy ladder frame, service-friendly V8 engineering and a broad range of body variants — from a plain load bed to the comfort-oriented Cheyenne trim — they covered both commercial applications and everyday private use.
On a used example, the ladder frame should be checked for rust-through, particularly around the spring mountings and at the transition to the load bed. The V8 engines are considered robust, but the carburettor or early injection system, distributor and cooling system should be checked for a condition appropriate to the vehicle's age. On Type K four-wheel-drive models, the transfer case and front-axle drive should also be checked. Spare parts for the drivetrain, body and interior trim are excellently supplied thanks to the very active American pickup enthusiast scene.
