What year was the first Chevrolet Silverado C1500 made?

I recently bought a 1975 Chevrolet Silverado C1500, but I don’t know much about it. I wonder if that’s the oldest model there is. What was the first year the Chevrolet Silverado C1500 came out?

The first
Chevrolet Silverado C1500
rolled off the line in 1975, so, yes, you have the earliest model.
The C/K model line is one of
Chevrolet’s
longest-running. Several of the trucks originally included have been discontinued, but the Silverado still hangs on strong and continues to be rated one of the top trucks in the nation.
Since 1975, Chevy has added additional models as well, and increased their capacities to include not only the light-duty 1500, like you have, but also the heavier duty
2500
, all the way up to a 6500.
