The 1960 Redesign of Chevrolet Light Trucks
Chevy debuted the C/K series of trucks in 1960. This marked the release of a significant redesign for their flagship truck line, and kicked off one of the most popular designs in the American light truck market. The new 1960 C 10’s had straight body lines with an egg crate grille and small overhangs over the windshield and rear window, self adjusting brakes and a full cab width dashboard.
The 1960-1966 Chevrolet trucks marked the first generation of the C/K series, a significant evolution in Chevrolet’s approach to pickup design and functionality. This era introduced several key innovations.
The new Chevy trucks included the C10 and K10 models. The main difference between the two was that the C10’s had two-wheel drive and the K10’s came standard with four-wheel drive. The four wheel drive versions were great for off road driving and the two wheel drive C 10 was better on gas mileage.
