C/K is a series of trucks that was manufactured by General Motors from the 1960 to 2002 model years. Marketed by both the Chevrolet and GMC divisions, the C/K series encompassed a wide range of vehicles. While most commonly associated with pickup trucks, the model line also included chassis-cab trucks and medium-duty trucks and served as the basis for GM full-size SUVs. Through its entire production, the model line competed directly against the Ford F-Series and the Dodge D series (later the Dodge Ram pickup).
Used for both the model branding and the internal model code, "C" denoted two-wheel drive; "K" denoted four-wheel drive. Four generations of the model line were produced, including the second-generation "Action Line" and third-generation "Rounded Line" vehicles. For the fourth generation, GMC revised its branding, changing to a singular GMC Sierra nameplate (C/K remained as an internal model code).
As GM entered the 1990s, the company revised its truck ranges, replacing the medium-duty C/K trucks with the Chevrolet Kodiak/GMC TopKick for 1990. For 1999, GM replaced the fourth-generation C/K pickup trucks with an all-new model line; in line with GMC, Chevrolet dropped the C/K nameplate (in favor of a singular Chevrolet Silverado nameplate). Initially marketed with its successor, the final C/K pickup trucks were produced for the 2000 model year. From 2001 to 2002, the final vehicles of the C/K model line were heavy-duty chassis cab trucks.
The fourth-generation C/K was introduced in April 1987 for the 1988 model year. The first line not assigned a generational moniker by General Motors in nearly three decades, it is known by its GMT400 internal codename. Slightly smaller in cab dimensions than the Rounded Line generation, the fourth-generation C/K increased interior space over its predecessor. After trailing Ford and Dodge by over a decade, GM introduced the C/K in an extended-cab configuration. For nearly five years, the fourth-generation C/K was sold alongside its R/V series predecessor, as the crew cab pickup (which served as the basis of the Suburban SUV) was not released until the 1992 model year.
In a branding change, the C/K nomenclature became exclusive to Chevrolet, as all GMC pickups became Sierras (GMC retained the C/K nomenclature for its internal model codes). Chevrolet introduced several specialized variants of the C/K series, including the work-oriented W/T 1500, off-road Z71, and the high-performance 454SS. Between one-ton trucks and medium-duty trucks, Chevrolet and GMC offered the C3500HD chassis cab for commercial use.
For 1995, the fourth-generation C/K underwent a mid-cycle revision, adding a driver-side airbag (dual airbags became standard for 1998). For 1996, the extended cab was redesigned, adding a rear-hinged passenger-side third door.
For the 1999 model year, to accommodate the introduction of the GMT800-chassis Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra, the fourth-generation C/K was renamed as the Chevrolet Silverado Classic and GMC Sierra Classic. After the 2000 model year, C/K pickup trucks were discontinued. GM produced the heavy-duty C3500HD chassis cab as the final version of the C/K model family through the 2002 model year. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I drove a "dually" from Seattle to Detroit. Picked up a 5th wheel extended camper trailer and drove back. It was for a friend. A dually pulling a 5th wheel on the freeway is a nice experience - what the dually was made for. But NEVER mistake an empty one for a sports car - they bite back. This build, while few parts, shows off a dually in the best possible light. Thanks for all the time and talent you invest in each build. See ya next time!
Now if we can just get Round2 to marry this cab with the short box and come up with a chassis as a 4 wheel drive! I think they called them Z71s. Nice build Chris!
Looks great! Would love to see a flat bed tow truck body on this, and I think Round 2 should also consider bringing back the Dodge Ram V10 2500, possibly upgrading that to a 3500 dualie.
I agree
I’ve got two of these on pre-order and a few of the old Galaxy trailers I’m going to use them with. I use to own a 1/1 dually of this era but mine was a crew cab. Thanks Chris
Short track racing tow rig awesome job as always Chris stay safe and positive keep up the amazing work
Very nice build of a nice simple kit. The kit looks like a nice kit. I just really wish it was a full kit. Meaning it had an engine, separate exhaust, rear end and front suspension. This kit helps our problem with not having a modern truck, but we still need a modern truck. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Can’t wait to get a couple of these. I love pick up trucks
@@lancerevell5979 nice
I have a number of these from the early 90s chevy and dodge thay where snap kits. Like your wrk 😀
I'm gonna be buying this model soon. Thanks for the video. I'm new to model building!
Nice job Chris! This truck would make an excellent tow rig.
Great build, I'm definitely going to buy one of these 😊👍
I totally agree with you about the fifth wheel camper kits. There would be lines of guys waiting to get their hands on a few of those and I would be one of them!!
Cool! I left a comment on Round 2's channel that they should do a regular cab, longbed 2500. Tool up the WT single headlight grille and 8 lug steel wheels. They could even do a rear liftgate and include a Coke machine for their Coca Cola license.
I'd also like to see the early dash back again.
@@nlpnt the '92 C1500 kit should have the early style interior and dashboard
Great job on the 3500 dually brother! That is the 1995-1998 with the more modern dash and interior! My personal favorite of the OBS GM pickups!
The dashboard is correct for a '95-96, the '97-2000 is different on the passenger side, having the compartment for the airbag or storage cubby on the HD 2500 and all 3500s. Hopefully the aftermarket will make one of these....I love the decals for the details on the dashboard though! Great idea Round 2!
@@HotWheelsBurban Ahh
Looks great! One tip - draw around the thickness of the headlight lenses with a black Sharpie to represent the gasket or airgap there usually is around headlights. In this era I'd also use superglue for the turn signals and Micro Crystal Clear or white glue for the headlights - the clear/white signal lenses were always a bit more cloudy than the headlight lenses, even brand new.
Man, I just gotta say, I love your channel. That music you put in the paint portion of the video is great, too. Good lookin ol chevy, which to me still looks like a new chevy, lol.thank you for what you do, it makes my day better, more than you probably would ever think. Until next time, Sir.........
These trucks look cool lowered with custom paint. You need the fifth wheel trailer and a Super Stocker. LOL Cool build.
I’d make it as a brush firetruck or somehow extend it a little and pop an ambulance body on it.
Possibilities would be endless for me being a firetruck modeler and builder lol
Nice job, it looks great. I really enjoy your videos.
Just got this as an early Birthday gift gonna need some acrylic spray paint and Gold acrylic pens I’m a newbie at this stuff but I have confidence I can complete it
Great video Chris keep em coming I'll keep watching
Looks terrific, great build, as always.
Such a cool kit, even thought it's curbside, !!
Background music while you were painting was perfect 😊
I'm going to ask a question because I'd like to know how you, a well versed model builder, feels about what we are seeing in the hobby right now....
We are ALL aware that prices can't realistically stay the same on kits BUT, how can a company justify higher prices for kits containing less? There have been so many excellent kits released lately but alot of them are curbside/easy build. How do you feel about having to pay full kit prices for kits thst don't contain full kit parts?
I know they offer a provision to add an engine after the fact but, the fact is, it's still a kit that will never be what a full detail kit can be.
I love this hobby and I can tell by your work, you do too.
I hope this hits the right way because I'm not looking to cause a problem. Im just a fellow builder that's getting a little miffed with where portions of the hobby are heading.
Always wished they would supply the GMC grill and badges when then made these like an optional version to the chevy.
Looks good Holmes 👍👍, keep on rocking it! Heck yeah, any of those engines, i seen someone makes a resin 1/25 GM Duramax Diesel, man that would be cool in one of those! Oooo-weee, i think that's Iceman collections that has the Duramax, hmmm 🤔💡
A GMC version would be nice
Years ago I can remember there being a resin version available, they offered both the 88-93 and 94-98 options, plus the sealed beam work truck. I can't remember the name though.
I almost love this almost kit!😂 it is a beautiful truck, tho. Thumbs up, Chris.
Fantastic build & presentation Chris! Spot on color choices, I really dig the heavy-duty wheels/tires combination!
A beautiful Cummins engine, would be nice in there!
People with 3d printers will have a field day with these....
Nice build sir!
you said something about a fifth wheel hitch for the dually---I just got one for my Moeibus 3/4 ton two wheel drive Ford---it is form a company called VCG Resins by Reese---have ordered a bunch of stuff from him and very well pleased with the quality and service---just thought I would give him a plug---am not getting paid for this advertisement---
just noticed note the converter is behind the muffler not complaining just calling attention also glad to see I am not the only one who has trouble with the small parts trying to run away from me
Yes , I noticed that too! That's something that the original issue of this kit had(I looked at mine to be sure!) and I can't believe, as nice as the rest of it is, that this got by the QC. Catalytic converter always goes ahead of the muffler, not behind it!
Other than that, it's a really nice kit! I love that they did the instrument cluster and the center stack with radio and HVAC switches as decals. And the more accurate grille, side mirrors, and lights are welcome additions!
That said, I have owned 3 of this era GMT 400(the GM internal designation for this platform, and what the major forum for them is called) and so I have plenty of research material on hand. The dashboard around the instrument cluster and the center stack should be semigloss black, it's actually a VERY dark semi gloss gray. The steering wheel and column are also this color, on all the interior colors. Those are red, blue, tan and gray(the gray is also called "neutral", and is very hard to match! I tried to paint a repair on a cracked dashboard on my Suburban, that's how I know! Careful perusal of military colors may yield better matches; I was trying to mix a color and it didn't work so well. The tan is close to beige, it's much lighter than khaki.
The phantom dually that came out back in the mid 90s had those decals you're talking about, and a tonneau cover too. It also had the GMC style grille, which is the only way to get that piece. The extended cab long bed kit(the teal green snapfast one) had the early (88-93) Chevy grille and interior, and the solid (no windows) camper shell. The Sportside kit had full details under the hood and chassis, as did the 88,89, and 90 annual kits of the long bed regular cab. They all had the TBI 5.0/5.7 small block engine; to get the TBI 7.4 big block, you had to get the 454SS kit. This was the only way to get the short bed fleetside. I liked these kits and had many of them, kitbashed a few to create replicas of friends' trucks. I'm quite happy to see versions of them back out, and hopefully the aftermarket can supply some of the conversion pieces that AMT hasn't made. I agree that a trailer, standard Class 3/4 trailer hitch (frame mounted under the rear bumper) and a fifth wheel/gooseneck hitch would be good parts to accessorize these with! Also running boards or step loops; stock height one tons are tall even in 2wd!
The wheel center caps would be semigloss black on the Cheyenne or Scottsdale trim levels, and chrome on the Silverado. The lug nut covers are black plastic on either cap. Those covers thread onto the lug nuts and are what holds the covers onto the wheels.
All in all, a nice kit for the most part, and I enjoyed watching this build video! It answered some questions about the kit and its updates too. Thanks!
I had an 88 Silverado 1500 extended cab long bed.
Wish they made a model kit of that.
Nice Build ! Be even better if it was a 4x4 Silverado 3500 Dually .
Been waiting for OBS Gm dually model kit for.while since pro street Chevy dually kit in mid 90s interesting new 96 Chevy 3500 model kit doesn't have motor guess u choose own engine from part's box or stash 😮
Looks good
Another painting hint that I forgot about yesterday; the cowl area between the back of the hood and the front of the windshield is made of black plastic, so should be painted semigloss black. The wiper arms and blades should also be semigloss black. I was looking at my vintage '96 dually and I'm amazed by the details of this model. The new retool looks even better! Since I have a '97 Chevy Silverado C3500 crew cab long bed in my driveway, I've got 21' of reference material!
The bucket seats and console in this kit replicate the bucket seats option; these look more like the deluxe leather upholstery.
A service body truck would be cool too
Hey Chris, Really enjoy watching your builds. You make so many great models and I was wondering if you keep all of them? Thanks, Paul.
Great build know what the fenders were made. From farmed with one spring has sprung I wonder how your cycle is looking forward on your new motorcycle video hope soon now have to buy motors for new builds thanks good job on all builds enjoy all
Very nice, I want one...lol
Really hoping they make a crew cab dually version. Also planning to kitbash this for the dash and use it on the regular cab, short bed kit. I have a 96 I want to replicate. Will just need to find a GMC grill.
Any luck on a gmc grille?
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Would love to see a square body version as well!
Thinking of kitbashing these 2 new trucks. I used to have an extended cab 1500 in the late 90’s.
Looks like I’ll have to shorten the chassis though.
Done this yet?
@@jacemecham3327 Not yet, haven’t bought the kits. Trying to thin out the stash before buying any more.
Hoping for a 90's tow truck.
They did make a dually pickup lowrider ,it was like the one you just had on your video it was molded in tan color l had that kit it was made by AMT
I would have used a hair dryer to soften up the stiff wheels before trying to get them on the hubs. I'm sure the colder weather in the US wouldn't have helped.
Nice 😅
Chris: Have you heard of any modeler that was able to "mate" this kit with the AMT camper kit ? I know that AMT probably meant for the camper shell to go with the '72 Chevy pick-up, but it seems thia kit's longer dually wheelbase would be perfect for the camper.
I own a slammed gmc 3500 dually , I wonder if I could make this model kit look lowered like mine and I'd paint it all blacked out to match my truck :p
another great one. think (am not 100% sure)that this may be a reissue??? seem to maybe have one in my built stash(they are currently in storage until the work room is finished) pretty sure it was issued as a "pro street" version because I remember I took the dually box from one of them and used it on one of the standard cab long wheel base kits either way its good to have it back
It's a reissue. I had the stock dually. I think it came in dark red plastic with the stock dually wheels. They also did the pro street version with huge slicks.
These OSB trucks use all new tooling, cloning and improving the earlier promos.
Yes the "phantom dually" had the GMC grille and big pro street rear tires on huge billet wheels. The stock '96 Chevy Silverado dually was a snapfast kit and was molded in burgundy for the body. Interior was molded in gray, while the side mirrors, steering wheel and column, and instrument cluster were molded in a softer black plastic. I got one of these last fall from a buddy (along with a couple of incomplete phantom duallies) and was looking at it closely after watching the video for the new version. These were nice kits for their time!
Nice build up, Chris ! I'm in love with that *Cobalt* *Green* paint ; excellent choice !
(What kit is that other steering wheel and column from ? 10 minute marque)
LOL, it looks like a few seconds of the 1962 Impala footage made it into the video.
Fifth wheel or GOOSENECK,would be awesome
Is there anykind of detailing or customizing set out there at the moment for this particular kit? One that would include an engine/transmission, separate frame, axles etc…?
Great job 👍 the muffler and catalytic converter look to be in the wrong spot but that's on Round 2
Not only reversed but wrong style, the cat looks like a 70's cat
@@phantom629 yup good catch! That was a mistake on the original issue, and obviously wasn't corrected on the new kit. I guess I need to slide under my '97 Chevy crew cab long bed and take some pictures, and send them to AMT/Round 2.....
Love that color what js that
Would it be possible to put a regular bed on here?
The long bed from the vintage 88-89-90 kits would fit, or the one from the extended cab long bed(the green one that was in this snapfast line). You'd just have to use different wheels and tires for the SRW trucks, but the ones from the kits I mentioned are all from half ton trucks so they're 5 lug wheels and not 8 lug like a 3500 or HD2500 would have.
Chris how long do you let the paint dry before you begin final assembly ?
Overnight
@@hpiguy Thanks for the response. One more question. How long do you wait between primer and color coats on smaller parts like interior engine and interiors ? Thanks.
Could you stock the wheels in hot water before putting them on
Well, at least it can have an engine put in.
i agree,,!! I would
Charging more than ever for kits and giving you less!
Am i the only one to notice two steering wheel assemblies?
Why a 96, and not a 2000? At this rate I’ll be dead by the time they release a 2010 3500 HD long box crew cab Dually 4x4 that I drive at my ranch.
I dislike those kits with the engine delete option.
Think someone in the design department fell asleep behind the wheel.......I can't be the only one to notice they molded the converter AFTER the muffler...... o.O
What? No chicken chasers?
5th wheel horse haller
I guess amt has quit putting engines in their kits they should charge less for them
I SERIOUSLY hate these easy build kits! GREAT subject matter, but I can't stand incomplete kits!! PLEASE, AMT! Start putting engines in your models again!!!
As much as I like the fact it's a dually I will not be buying one until Round 2 starts either charging less for promotional kits, or add the engines to them. Ĥalf of my fun is assembling and painting the engines.
If a model kit doesn’t have a motor it a joke and a waste of time
The engine the interior are the most important part of a model kit
When are they going to get some brand new model kits
