An estimate, for the 250 Turbo-Thrift six (105 hp, 1973–79) trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.
Nobody has claimed one yet.
GM was more than a decade late to a trend its rivals had already cashed in on: the fourth-gen C/K was the first C/K generation to offer an extended cab, long after Ford and Dodge had made it standard fare.
GM officially called it the Rounded Line generation; the public looked at it and named it the square-body.
The Chevrolet Cheyenne name you still see on trucks today was born mid-cycle on this "Action Line" generation, debuting in 1971.
GM wasn't done tweaking the all-new C/K even in its early years — for 1963 it quietly swapped the front torsion bars for coil springs on two-wheel-drive trucks.
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The GMT400 split the twins for good: 1988 was the year "C/K" became Chevrolet-only badging, while GMC's version of the very same truck became the Sierra.
GMC found 10 extra horsepower in the Sierra All Terrain X's 5.3L V8 with nothing more than a performance exhaust, no other changes needed to go from 355 to 365 hp.
This Sierra kept rolling off the line for a full extra year after its replacement arrived - badged "Classic" in 2007 just to tell the two generations apart on dealer lots.
When this GMT900 Sierra launched for 2007, GM kept selling the outgoing truck alongside it, badged "Classic," so buyers could choose old or new side by side on the same lot.

A Louisiana owner put over a million miles on his 2007 Tundra in eight years; Toyota gave him a new truck and took his apart to study it.
Toyota's Texas Tundra plant sits on land bought from the state's oldest working cattle ranch, and the 1794 Edition is named for the year that ranch was founded.
Its launch colours had pun names such as "Anti-Establish Mint" and "Freudian Gilt", sent to Lee Iacocca by a friend.
