C vs. K?

[cornemuse]

I am curious, I thought 'C' always designated trucks & 'K' designated Blazers.
My '82 pu has C-10 'badge'' on it & my (2 of 'em) Blazer has K-10 on it.
Why do so many refer to 'trucks' as K10, K20, etc?

Just wondering, , , ,

-c-

(my 'Helm' book refers to the Blazers as K models & trucks as C)

It`d be killer to be without the K designation over here, this winter.
there are no 2 wheel drive pickups cruising the streets, at least the side streets, stuck is the word of this winter. LOL
just about every time I drive into town, there are several people stuck.

Yelp, if you don't own a 4 wheel drive, All wheel Drive in these parts of the country it's just not cool....
