What year was the first Chevrolet Silverado C1500 Custom?

I’ve always been a fan of older trucks. They’re reliable and seem to last forever if properly maintained. I’ve had my eye on a two-wheel-drive Silverado Custom, but I want to get an older model to save money. When did the Chevrolet Silverado C1500 Custom debut?

As the high-end pickup in the Chevy lineup, the
Chevrolet Silverado C1500 Custom
is a fan favorite. But that loyalty is certainly steeped in history. The first Chevrolet Silverado C1500 Custom debuted in 1975 as the top-tier trim in the C/K Class of Chevy trucks.
When Chevy unveiled the brand-new Silverado, it came with many features that hadn’t been seen on trucks in the past. Some of the top features of the Silverado C1500 Custom include:
  • Eight different engine options (three V-6s and five V-8s)
  • Up to 6,000 pounds of towing capacity
  • Three-speed automatic transmission or four-speed manual transmission
  • A rounded body, which starkly contrasted to the boxy look popular before the 1975 model
The Silverado C1500 Custom is a beast of a truck, but even the mighty still need protection. Use the
