Chevrolet K10 - 3rd Gen (1973 to 1987)

The Chevrolet K10 was a variant of the 3rd Gen C/K that was introduced for the 1973 model year. The K10, which was a 1/2 ton, all wheel drive pickup truck, was offered with a wide range of engine options. These engines included inline six, V6, and V8 units whose power ranged from 105hp to 230hp, with drive sent to all four wheels through manual or automatic transmissions. The K10 was available in two bed configurations, with the sleek Fleetside bed, or the fendered Stepside bed being the two options. Notable trim offerings included the Silverado and Scottsdale. For 1987, which was the final year of 3rd Gen K10 production, Chevrolet changed the name of the K10 to the V10, in order to avoid any confusion with the forthcoming Fourth Generation Chevrolet C/K.
