From 1959 to 1987, C/K was also the name of GMC's truck series; it switched to the name Sierra from 1988 to 1999 while sharing the C/K platform. "C" indicated two-wheel drive and "K" indicated four-wheel drive.
The '83 Chevy Silverado (C) is a Hot Wheels casting based on the classic pick-up of the same name, debuting in the Modern Classics. For 2009 HWC created this awesome version and only 3,000 pieces to boot! This became an instant favorite and a super hard version to come by. When they do go up for sale the price is; well let's just say it's not pocket change. This square C-body was draped wih Spectraflame antifreeze with chrome 2-tone separated with a white stripe. It rolls on beautiful white wall Real Riders on deep-dish rims. Just try finding one and then hold on to it!
