When they first rolled off GM's assembly lines in 1962, the Chevy "C" series trucks practically started a revolution in truck design. Prior to that, pickup trucks traditionally had high-domed hoods and narrow cargo beds nestled between ballooning "pontoon" fenders. Some even retained the running boards and side-mounted spares of earlier generations.

The "Fleetside," with its wide bed hanging over the rear wheels was something new, providing a much larger cargo space. The three-quarter ton Chevy C2500 is definitely a working vehicle, up to the tough jobs - but the engine's performance can be compromised when something as simple as the air filter is neglected.

The Chevy C2500 Air Filter is actually a vital part of the fuel system. Fuel needs to be mixed with air in order to burn, but this must be clean air. The air filter prevents dust and other particles from entering the fuel system. When dirty, an air filter may continue to function, but will ultimately "choke" the engine, making the fuel-air mixture too "rich" (in fact, the manual "choke" on old-time cars did exactly this). The idle speed will increase and gas mileage will decrease. Excess carbon will start building up in the valves, which turn will interfere with valve operation and eventually lead to other problems. The Chevy C2500 Air Filter should be replaced whenever an oil change is performed - on the average, about every 3,000 miles or three months.
