New for 1999: The C/K 3500 remains primarily unchanged for 1999, with the exception of a
short-bed Crew Cab trim added to the lineup. 

History: Runner-up in America's new-vehicle sales race for the last 16 years has been the
Chevy C/K-series truck. The C/K 3500 is a serious truck for serious towing and hauling: gross
weight ratings top out at 10,000 pounds; trailer weights also up to 10,000 pounds can be
accommodated with proper equipment. Engine choices are V8s fueled by gasoline or diesel.
The C/K 3500 is available in regular, extended, and 4-door Crew Cab models, and can be
ordered with dual rear wheels. 

Trim Details: The 1999 Chevrolet C/K 3500 pickup is available in eight trims: Regular Cab,
Extended Cab, Crew Cab Short Bed, and Crew Cab Long Bed, each in either 2WD or 4WD.
The C/K 3500 has an anti-lock brake system (ABS) and daytime running lights as standard
safety equipment. Power comes from a standard 5.7-liter 255-horsepower V8 engine teamed
with a 5-speed manual transmission. A 7.4-liter 290-horsepower V8 or a high-torque 6.5-liter
turbodiesel V8 are also available. Standard features include a theft-deterrent system, tinted
glass, 10-inch rearview mirrors, a trailer-wiring harness, an AM/FM stereo, and Scotchgard
seat protection.
