C is 2 wheel drive

K is 4 wheel drive

1500 is a half ton

the 88's through 98's where designated that way and they could be a Chevy or GMC

 

the older trucks (87 and older) where:

C10 - chevy 2WD half ton

C15 - GMC 2WD haff ton

K10 - Chevy 4WD haft ton

K15 - GMC 4WD haft ton

20/25's where 3/4 ton

30/35's where 1 ton

The C/K trucks were made alongside the new body style Silverado/Sierra trucks in '99, and I think in '00 as well. It is my understanding that GMC did this to satisfy steady demand for the existing C/K models. Due to the overlap in years, one has to be specific when purchasing parts and accessories for the old body style (OBS) truck. Mine is a 1999 K1500 with the Z-71 package. The badge on the tailgate reads 'Sierra Classic'. I've only ever seen a few badged that way and have wondered why that is.

From what I understand there were very very few 1/2 ton OBS made in '99, but they did have the larger 1 ton trucks through 2000, not sure when they switched over the 3/4 tons.....only thing I know is OBS trucks kick ass and my '98 is one of the newest out there

[SierraClassic]

Does anybody know how or where to find out the production numbers for the old body style trucks in '99? I'd like to know just how many OBS 1500's were made for 1999.
