1965 CHEVY C/K SERIES 10 PICKUP TRUCK - UPDATED FEATURES

The 1965 - 1966 Chevy pickups were virtually identical but this pickup has been confirmed to be a '65 model year. The first generation of the C/K series is a range of trucks that was manufactured by General Motors from the 1960 to 1966 model years. Marketed by both the Chevrolet and GMC divisions, the C/K trucks replaced the Task Force generation of trucks. The first General Motors pickup trucks developed on a dedicated truck platform (no longer a derivative of the GM A platform), the C/K series included pickup trucks, chassis-cab trucks, and medium/heavy commercial trucks. Breaking from GM tradition, the 1960 truck line was not given a generational name by the company. As part of a new model nomenclature introduced by GMC, C denoted two-wheel drive vehicles and K is used for 4x4 drive layout. Replacing second-party conversions, 4x4 drive was offered as a factory-supplied option for the first time. Alongside pickup trucks, the C/K light truck line served as the basis of the fifth generation of the Chevrolet Suburban/GMC Carryall, which was marketed as either a truck-based wagon (SUV) or a panel van. Produced by multiple sites across the United States and Canada, the model line was also produced in South America. For the 1967 model year, GM introduced a second generation of the C/K, naming it the Action-Line series. The first-generation C/K trucks were produced from the 1960 to 1966 model years. For 1963, the model line underwent a mechanical revision, with a more substantial update to the body for the 1964 model year. For 1965, Chevrolet trucks received an optional 327 cubic-inch V8, producing 220 hp. Initially offered for 3⁄4-ton and 1-ton trucks, the 327 was offered for all pickups for 1966. For 1966, the 230 six was replaced by a 250 cubic-inch inline-6 with 155 hp; alongside the 292 six, the 250 would serve as the standard C/K engine into the 1980s. Features of this pickup include : fresh paint job with pinstripe accents both front and rear, mag wheels, rally steering wheel, new bucket seats with console, and cargo bay with new wood planks and painted strips. As much as these Chevy pickups sold, very few are seen today especially in this updated condition. Thanks for viewing.
