The Chevy C/K is a classic model line of full-size trucks produced between 1960 and 2000. The C designation was used for two-wheel drive, while the K was used on models with four-wheel drive. From the compact '60s models to the squared-off bodies of the '70s and '80s, to the larger and more shapely models of the '90s, this line changed dramatically over the decades. The C/K line was replaced by the Chevy Silverado at the start of the new millennium.
