Introduced in April 1987 as 1988 models (known as the [[GMT400]] platform), there were eight different versions of the C/K line for 1988: Fleetside Single Cab, Fleetside Extended Cab, Fleetside Crew Cab, and Stepside Single Cab, each in either 2WD (C) or 4WD (K) drivelines. All C/K models would ride on independent front suspension. Three trim levels were available: Cheyenne, Scottsdale, and Silverado. Engines were a 160 hp (119 kW) 4.3 L V6, a 175 hp (130 kW) 5.0 L V8, a 210 hp (157 kW) 5.7 L V8 and a 6.2 L diesel V8. A 230 hp (172 kW) 7.4 L V8 was available in the 3/4-ton and one-ton trucks. In 1989, a fleetside Sport package was available with matching body color bumpers and grille, chrome wheels, and fog lights. A Z71 off-road package was also available with skid plates and Bilstein shocks. The Work Truck (W/T) was also introduced in 1990, which featured a single cab long bed with Cheyenne trim and new grille with black bumpers. Also in 1990 the GMC 3500 EFI with a powerful 454 (7.4 L) was available. The 454 EFI produced {{Convert|230|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{auto ft.lbf|385}}. In 1991, the [[GM 4L80-E transmission|4L80-E]] automatic transmission was available for the 3/4-ton and one-ton trucks. In 1992, the 4-speed manual transmission was dropped and the stepside trucks were available with extended cabs. The 6.5 L diesel V8 was also made available with a [[turbocharger]]. In 1993, the Sport package was made available for the stepside models, featuring body color bumpers, mirrors, and grille with cast aluminum wheels. The 700R4 transmission was replaced with the [[GM 4L60-E transmission|4L60-E]] [[automatic transmission|automatic]] in 1993 also. In 1994, the 6.2 L diesel V8 was dropped and the trucks received grille updates. In 1995, the trucks received an updated audio system and interior (including full instrumentation with tachometer standard). Four wheel [[Anti-lock braking system|ABS]] brakes were made standard in 1995 as well as driver's side airbag on 1/2 ton models. The [[GM Vortec engine|Vortec V8s]] were introduced in 1996, with power boosts across the board for the gasoline engines, thanks to high-flow cylinder heads, new camshaft, roller valve lifters and a higher compression ratio. Speed sensitive steering was introduced on the trucks in 1997 along with a passenger side airbag. 1998 saw a revision to the steering wheel and airbag system and also the addition of the PASSLOCK II antitheft system. | Introduced in April 1987 as 1988 models (known as the [[GMT400]] platform), there were eight different versions of the C/K line for 1988: Fleetside Single Cab, Fleetside Extended Cab, Fleetside Crew Cab, and Stepside Single Cab, each in either 2WD (C) or 4WD (K) drivelines.

The [[GMT800]] platform was introduced in 1999 although the GMT400 platform was produced until the 2000 model year in response to fleet sales. Although no longer produced in the U.S., GMT400s are currently produced in [[Brazil]] powered with a [[Chevrolet Straight-6 engine#Generation 3|Chevrolet inline six]]. | The [[GMT800]] platform was introduced in 1999 although the GMT400 platform was produced until the 2000 model year in response to fleet sales.

A variant of the C/K family was introduced in [[Brazil]] during the 1960s. These used the instrument cluster from the 1960-66 US Chevrolet C/K series although the exterior sheet metal layout is exclusive to Brazil. The models built included a light truck, named '''C-10''', and a [[SUV]] named '''Veraneio''' (initially known simply as Chevrolet C-14/16), introduced in 1964. They were initially powered with a Chevrolet inline six based on the pre-1962 "Stovebolt" engines. In later years a four-cylinder diesel ([[Perkins Engines Company Limited|Perkins]] Q20B) was also offered labeled as '''D-10''' (light truck only). An [[ethanol fuel|alcohol]]-powered version of the pickup was offered beginning in the 1980s, dubbed the '''A-10'''. | A variant of the C/K family was introduced in [[Brazil]] during the 1960s.
