GM introduced the fourth-generation C/K for the 1988 model year with many improvements over the Rounded Line before it. The removal of the vent windows, independent front suspension, fully-welded truck frame with a boxed section up front, and the extended cab come to mind.

Back in 1984, when the truck we have here was made, Chevrolet’s C/K family was still calling the shots in the segment. Smack down in the middle of the third generation, the moniker was solidly entrenched in the industry that model year as the Rounded Line, bigger than before and closer to sedans in terms of comfort features. 16 photos
These features were different, of course, depending on the trim level the buyer went for. For the early trucks in the third-gen C/K, trim levels included the base Custom, Deluxe, and Cheyenne, which were joined later by the Scottsdale, slotted between the Deluxe and Cheyenne.

The C/K family of trucks is undoubtedly one of the favorites of the pre-owned and custom markets. The old bowtie-wearing workhorse has moved since its discontinuation in 2002 from a life in the trenches to one of glory and fame, oftentimes selling for more than the price of newborn trucks. 11 photos
Take the current generation Silverado, for instance. In stock configuration, the pickup has an MSRP of $28,500, which is rather decent, all things considered. But many, much older bowties with a bed at the back easily top that, even in unrestored condition.
The Chevrolet Silverado K10 Stepside we have here is a perfect example of that. Born in 1987, and part of the C/K family we mentioned earlier, it certainly shows its age, and no makeup was splashed on it to save appearances. Yet, the asking price is no less than $33,500.
