1973+ C-Series?

Both right: a third generation Chevrolet C/K Series pickup truck. The wheels are not turned enough to see if there is (or not) a shaft drive.
Why are they just identified as "C-Series", in the IMCDb? Are they all assumed to be 4-wheel drive?

And a 73 to 80 model:

The front lower control arm is visible in the picture, denoting Independent front suspension, which makes it 2wd so a C-Series

All the K-Series (or C-Series) trucks surely hadn't such an analysis. I even read an "I assume it's a K-Series" sentence for one, with no more explanation :D

Why not merge the two series as C/K-Series? What makes them so different (apart from the number of drive wheels, of course)? I'm sure a lot of "K" are identified as "C" and and vice versa: having the same id would avoid that kind of mistake.

And as Chevrolet itself did not make the distinction (The 4wd models were with the 2wd ones in the same brochures) or called them later clearly "C/K" without ambiguousness, I wonder why IMCDb should do differently?

1965 1st gen. // 1967 2nd gen. // 1979 3rd gen. // 1995 4th gen. C/K brochures (click to read them)

That's because sometimes a lot of them are lifted and appear to have front end transaxles, off-road tires, and other parts normally associated with 4WD models.
