If you've looked at classic cars lately, the C/K series from Chevrolet may have caught your eye. What does this designation mean, and how classic are they?

A 2.5-ton, 6x6 truck, the CCKW was built alongside a similar but smaller model, the Chevrolet G506. A 1.5-ton, 4x4 hauler, the G506 was introduced in 1940 and remained in production until 1945.

We compare the 2024 Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500 to see which is the right half-ton pickup for you.
