If you were a natural born truck junkie finally making it to legal driving age in the ‘90s, you most certainly noticed these Chevy C/K body style trucks. They could be seen everywhere thanks to utility companies, school district workers and even grandpa’s grocery getter. Originally designed by Donald Wood in 1983, Chevy was able to move 551,223 of these GMT400 trucks by 1989 alone—not to mention the popular 454 model released in 1990 that sold 16,953 units over four years, with 13,748 of those units selling in the first year of production alone! It was an impressive and hard-working truck designed for the street, but what about the guys who like to go offroad? Could their truck perform just as well with the additional front drive axle, transfer case and driveshafts to make the four-wheel drive?
