Is Silveraldo and C10 Chevy truck the same?

Answer 1

yes/no. the name silverado on recent model Chevrolet trucks refers to all chevy trucks 2 and 4 wheel drive, they are named as silverado 1500 (1/2 ton) silverado 2500 (3/4 ton) and silverado 3500 (1 ton) and now they have standard designations silverado 2500 as well as silverado 2500 HD for heavy duty versions of the fore mentioned load capacity ratings.

The older trucks (C10) are base model trucks named only by capacity. A C10 is a 1/2 ton truck a C20 is a 3/4 ton truck and C30 is a one ton truck (capacity- not weight of the truck, dealing with tow capacity and load capacity) then there was K10 K20 K30 where the "K" means 4 wheel drive, the "C" means 2 wheel drive.

some of the older high optioned trucks also had names such as "cheyenne" and "silverado". so from old to new a "silverado 1500 2wd is the same as an old "C10" while a "silverado 2500 Z71" could be compared to a "K20".

In dealing with older trucks where both "silverado" and "C10" were offered a "silverado" would be a higher optioned version of a "C10"
