What’s in the 1995 Chevrolet Pickup dealer information book
This scan is from the 1995 Chevrolet Light-Duty Truck Technical Guide. It contains the C/K Pickup section (introduction, model selection summary with GVWR, payload and trailer ratings, powertrains, trim levels, options and tires), the C/K Chassis-Cab section, GM body-builder frame-height and axle/tire data, an S-10 Pickup section and the 1995 Truck-Camper Loading booklet (published March 1994). According to the book’s list of 1995 changes, the pickups gained a new instrument panel with a standard tachometer and two dash cupholders. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes became standard, along with a driver’s side air bag under 8600 lb GVW, a 7-lead trailer wiring harness and a brake/transmission shift interlock. The book also lists smoother shifting for the 4L80-E automatic.
