This would be a C-15, but I'm not sure what the trim is. Hopefully Neptune can tell. |

1973+ ½-ton 1500 or ¾-ton 2500 with the Wide-Side bed option. -- Last edit: 2015-04-16 05:02:10 |

1/2 ton. Those wheel covers will not fit over the 3/4 hub/axle. |

I agree. To revise my previous comment a bit, this is a C-1500. |

@ Ford Guy: What about the 2-digit names? Is there a new consensus about this? Or is it only for 1975+ models? |

That was pretty much the consensus right there. I don't claim to be all-knowing about the rounded-line trucks. But based on the badges and documentation we've seen until this point, that's what we came up with. |

I'm not opposing, just learning .gif ":)") You say: • That was pretty much the consensus right there. [...] that's what we came up with.. → Verbs in the past tense. Is it still the consensus? • I don't claim to be all-knowing about the rounded-line trucks. → Whoever claims to know everything about any subject is either mythomaniac or very naive .gif ";)") As this pickup is still identified as C-1500, I assume this 2-digit rule concerns indeed only the 1975+ models. |

If I remember correctly, the consensus was developed about 4-5 years ago by Neptune, tonkaTRACKER, and myself through many conversations. We haven't discussed the issue in years so I can only assume that things still stand the same with them. This conversation should give you a good idea: /vehicle_269257-GMC-K-1500-1973.html Basically, based on the badging: 1973-1974: C/K-x500 1975-1980: C/K-x5 1981-1987: C/K-x500 |

GMC likes to confuse the issue... To ad to this page of reference, but only for light-duty trucks (a.k.a ½-ton, ¾-ton and 1-ton) who share the same cab and some wheelbases: • 1941-45 CC-Series & 1946-47 EC-Series 100, 150, 250; • 1947-55 FC / New Design truck line 100, 150, 250; • 1955-59 Blue Chip truck line 100, 150, 250; • 1960-66 "C"/K-Series 1000, 1500, 2500: ∗ The C wasn't used for this generation, in fact, even in brochures. The C-Series name is however used for consistency, I think, as these 2WD trucks are clones of the C-Something models of Chevrolet; ∗ For the record, there was also a 1960-63 only 1½-ton 3000 with the same cab, but it wasn't used as pickup, only as stake and as chassis cab. • 1967-72 C/K 1500, 2500, 3500: ∗ the C was used in the data tables shown in the brochures as CM / CS / CE-1500 to 2500 depending on the engine (inline-six, V6 or V8). If like for Chevrolet, with S for V-Six and E for V-Eight, but what is the relationship between inline-6 and M??? ∗ The C wasn't used in the fender emblems nor for the names given in the captions of the pictures in the brochures. The medium- and heavy-duty models follow the same nomenclatures, but it would be a bit long to write all models here, all the more as the "frontier" between medium and heavy was fluctuating depending on the truck line -- Last edit: 2015-04-19 06:31:08 |
