The Chevrolet C/K is a series of trucks that was manufactured by General Motors from the 1960 to 2002 model years. Marketed by both the Chevrolet and GMC divisions, the C/K series encompassed a wide range of vehicles. While most commonly associated with pickup trucks, the model line also included chassiscab trucks and mediumduty trucks and served as the basis for GM fullsize SUVs. Through its entire production, the model line competed directly against the Ford FSeries and the Dodge D series (later the Dodge Ram pickup).

Used for both the model branding and the internal model code, "C" denoted twowheel drive, while "K" denoted fourwheel drive. Four generations of the C/K series were produced, including the GM monikered secondgeneration "Action Line" and thirdgeneration "Rounded Line" vehicles (colloquially aka SquareBody trucks). For the fourthgeneration (colloquially also known as OBS trucks), Chevrolet kept using the C/K designation while GMC revised its branding, changing to a singular GMC Sierra nameplate (C/K remained as an internal model code).

For South America, the model line was manufactured by General Motors de Argentina from 1960 to 1978, Sevel Argentina from 1986 to 1991, and General Motors Brazil, who produced versions of the model line for Brazil, Argentina, and Chile from 1964 to 2001.

As GM entered the 1990s, the company revised its truck ranges, replacing the mediumduty C/K trucks with the Chevrolet Kodiak/GMC TopKick for 1990. For 1999, GM replaced the fourthgeneration C/K pickup trucks with an allnew model line; in line with GMC, Chevrolet dropped the C/K nameplate (in favor of a singular Chevrolet Silverado nameplate). Initially marketed with its successor, the final C/K pickup trucks were produced for the 2000 model year. From 2001 to 2002, the final vehicles of the C/K model line were mediumduty chassis cab trucks.

The thirdgeneration C/K was introduced for the 1973 model year. Designated the "Rounded Line" generation by General Motors, the C/K grew in size inside and out. As pickup trucks increased in use as personal vehicles, cab features and options moved closer in line with GM sedans (with power windows and power door locks becoming options). To further expand its practicality, a fourdoor crew cab body was introduced (offering 6passenger seating).

While relatively straightlined and boxy in appearance (leading to their "squarebody" nickname from the public[2]) the Rounded Line trucks were the first generation of the C/K to be designed with the use of computers and wind tunnels, optimizing the exterior shape for lower drag and improved fuel economy. The chassis was an allnew design (with all trucks receiving a leafspring rear suspension); KSeries trucks moved to allwheel drive (shiftonthefly 4×4 was introduced for 1981).

Alongside the introduction of the fourdoor crew cab, the third generation C/K marked the introduction of a dual rearwheel pickup truck ("Big Dooley"). For 1978, the C/K became the first American fullsize pickup truck sold with a diesel engine (a 5.7L Oldsmobile diesel V8); a 6.2L diesel V8 was introduced for 1982. This generation also marks the first use of the Chevrolet Silverado nameplate (in use for Chevrolet fullsize trucks today).

The Rounded Line generation is the longestproduced version of the C/K model line, produced for 18 model years. For 1987, it was renamed the R/V series (to accommodate the fourthgeneration C/K marketed alongside it) and was gradually phased out through the 1991 model year.
