The third-generation C/K was introduced for the 1973 model year.
Designated the "Rounded Line" generation by General Motors, the C/K
grew in size inside and out. As pickup trucks increased in use as
personal vehicles, cab features and options moved closer in line
with GM sedans (with power windows and power door locks becoming
options). To further expand its practicality, a four-door crew cab
body was introduced (offering 6-passenger seating).
While relatively straight-lined and boxy in appearance (leading to
their "Square-body" nickname from the public2 #fn2) the Rounded
Line trucks were the first generation of the C/K to be designed
with the use of computers and wind tunnels, optimizing the exterior
shape for lower drag and improved fuel economy. The chassis was an
all-new design (with all trucks receiving a leaf-spring rear
suspension); K-Series trucks moved to all-wheel drive
(shift-on-the-fly 4x4 was introduced for 1981).
Alongside the introduction of the four-door crew cab, the third
generation C/K marked the introduction of a dual rear-wheel pickup
truck ("Big Dooley"). For 1978, the C/K became the first American
full-size pickup truck sold with a diesel engine (a 5.7 L
Oldsmobile diesel V8); a 6.2 L V8 diesel was introduced for 1982.
This generation also marks the first use of the Chevrolet Silverado
nameplate (in use for Chevrolet full-size trucks today).
The Rounded Line generation is the longest-produced version of the
C/K model line, produced for 18 model years. For 1987, it was
renamed the R/V series (to accommodate the fourth-generation C/K
marketed alongside it) and was gradually phased out through the
1991 model year.
