'83 Chevy Silverado

The Chevrolet C/K is a series of trucks manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. The third generation of the C/K, styled by Bill Mitchell, was introduced in 1971 and was known as the Rounded Line series. This generation of C/K introduced a four door cab configuration as well as trim levels, including the Cheyenne, Scottsdale and Silverado trims. The vehicle underwent a major facelift in 1981 and a more subtle restyling in 1983, receiving revised grilles and minor changes in the front fascia. The third generation C/K was discontinued in 1991, although it was superseded midway through 1988 with a new generation of C/K truck.
