Launched in the fall of 1959 as a 1960 model, the first-generation C/K debuted a number of design changes for General Motors' light-truck design. Replacing the Task Force range, the C/K was developed from the start as a truck chassis, no longer sharing a commonality with the GM A-body platform. Though developed as a truck for the sake of durability, the C/K adopted several features from cars into its design to increase its functionality. For pickup trucks, the C/K trucks used a drop-center frame (allowing for a lower cab and lower center of gravity) and the independent front suspension was paired with a coil-sprung rear axle. In 1963, front torsion bars were replaced by front coil springs (on two-wheel-drive vehicles). While the first generation would not undergo a comprehensive facelift or update, GM would make a series of gradual changes to the model line throughout its production. For 1962, the hood was redesigned, with a new windshield and A-pillar added to the cab for 1964. In a break from General Motors tradition, this is one of the few generations of trucks not given an in-house moniker. The C/K nomenclature was developed by GMC; "C" denoted conventional cab, with "K" standing for 4x4 drive.
