what does the k stand for in silverado
Differences between Chev C/k & Silverado. Posts: 17. C stands for 2 wheel drive and K stands for 4 wheel drive in the older models. Silverado is just a Convience Package discription that Chevy has labeled on everything now. You used to could buy a Scottsdale package that had very limited items and the Custom Delux which was the WORK TRUCK model.
