Year-to-year changes

1991

The Chevrolet C/K pickup truck line, formerly the best-selling vehicle in the General Motors stable, was available as 1/2-ton (1500 series), 3/4-ton (2500 series), 454SS, and Work Truck models. The 1500 series carried six different trim levels: Extended Cab, Fleetside, and Sportside -- all three in Long and Short Bed pickups each. The 2500 series had three trim levels: Extended Cab (in Short and Long Bed pickups), and a Fleetside Long Bed pickup truck.

1995

For 1995, GM's top dog gets a driver's-side airbag, 4-wheel antilock brakes, and a brake-transmission shift interlock that prevents shifting out of Neutral unless the driver's foot is firmly on the brake pedal, a safety feature borrowed from passenger cars. Other features include new instrument and door trim panels, upgraded radios, and new contoured seats. The console that comes with the optional bucket seats has a pivoting writing surface, map pocket, cassette storage and can be used as a mobile work station.

The Chevy C/K (2wd/4wd) pickups sit right in the middle of the full-size truck category and compete most directly against Ford's F-Series. The trucks are available in 1/2-ton (1500 series), 3/4-ton (2500 series) and 1-ton (3500 series) versions, with both a wide cargo box (Fleetside) as well as a narrow cargo box (Sportside). In addition, the C/K is available with long and short cargo boxes and with regular or extended bodies. Two trim levels are offered: the base Cheyenne and the upscale Silverado.

The standard engine remains the 4.3-liter ohv V6, which has been modified for more quiet operation. Optional engines include 5.0-liter, 5.7-liter and 7.4-liter ohv V8s, and a 6.5-liter diesel V8 with or without a turbocharger. These engines can be mated to a variety of light- and heavy-duty 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic overdrive transmissions. Four-wheel-drive trucks have a 2-speed transfer case with a floor-mounted shift lever for shift-on-the-fly operation.
