[8] The 900 did not sell overly well; 6,293 of the C- and D-900 were built in three years, followed by 1,235 of the 900A in 1966. [9]
1958 A-120 Travelette 4x4 (showing three-door cab) International introduced the Travelette for 1957 production. Based on the newly introduced A series pickup truck, [4] the Travelette added a rear seat to the cab by using the body structure of the Travelall wagon (analogous to the full-size SUVs of today), including its second passenger-side door.

The 3500 series came standard with dual rear wheels (the only short-bed GM pickup to have such a feature), a 7.4L V8 (or a 6.5L V8 diesel), and a 9,400 pound GVWR. For 2000, the C/K and Sierra Classic were pared down to the 2500 and 3500 series (above 8,500 pounds GVWR), [ 4 ] [ 15 ] with the model line reduced solely to the C3500HD chassis cab ...
The straight-sided Fleetside bed made its return alongside the traditional fendered Stepside bed (GMC Wideside and Fenderside, respectively). Both the Fleetside and Stepside were offered 6 1 ⁄ 2-foot and 8-foot bed lengths; a 9-foot bed length was exclusive to Stepside pickups. [10]

The standard transmission was a three-speed manual with a column shift, but there were also four- and five-speed manuals and a three-speed automatics, with floor-mounted shifters optional. [6] The automatic transmission was not available in heavier duty models such as the 1300D and the rare 1500D.
Introduced in 1957, FC-170 models had a 103 in (260 cm) wheelbase with a 108 in (270 cm) bed. The forward-control layout achieved this. The cab did not tilt for engine access. The standard six-cylinder engine was mated to a three-speed transmission. A 1958 concept version of the FC-170 featured a 108 in (270 cm) wheelbase.
The large-block 6.0L (standard) and 7.0L (optional) V8s returned from the previous medium-duty trucks; both engines were upgraded with fuel injection. [10] Both engines were replaced by a 7.4L V8 for 1999, which was replaced by a 8.1L Vortec V8 for 2001 (the largest-displacement V8 ever offered in a mass-produced Chevrolet).
