Street Trucks

FROM C/K TO TODAY

The iconic sport truck of the 90s and today’s modern Silverado

THE DECADE IN WHICH YOU GREW UP AFFECTS YOUR RELATIONSH­IP WITH CHEVY TRUCKS. Maybe your dad, grandpa or uncle had an older C-10 model that was kept somewhat stock or had very minimal modificati­ons made to it. More than likely, the odds of gramps’ truck being in stock condition would be more plausible than your pops keeping his ride free of accessorie­s. Having an old pickup around is very influentia­l and is a memory that really sticks with a kid.

However, if you were reaching driving age when the fourth generation of full-size Chevy pickups was being unleashed onto the public (right around the very late 80s), you just might have a naturally stronger attraction to this new wave of truck style. The 90s were coming, and so was a new style of, well, everything. Aside from the “hip” new fashion and music trends, there was a new type of truck on the streets to cruise around in with your friends. The evolution of the modern American truck had arrived.
