The style for the 1965 and 1966 remained essentially the same, ith a few minor changes. There was no need to make drastic changes. The success of the truck line, uilt since 1913, as verified by the sale of the ten millionth truck in 1966.
1960-1966 represents the first generation of the modern C series Chevrolet trucks. The generation is viewed by collectors as the iconic truck, ncorporating revolutionary mechanical and comfort designs.
Most important of these were a drop-center ladder frame, llowing the cab to sit lower, nd independent front suspension, iving an almost car-like ride in a truck. Chevrolet transitioned the pick up truck from essentially a farm and work truck, o a vehicle capable of every day use. This concept lives on today, nd recreational trucks far outnumber work trucks. Chevrolet can be credited with this revolution.
The fourth and final generation of the C/K line was the 1988-2002 platform. The aging C/K line was replaced with the Silverado series. Chevrolet has continued over the years to be in the forefront of style and passenger comfort. It all began with the first generation C/K series.
