Third generation (1973-1991)
The third-generation C/K was introduced for the 1973 model year. Designated the "Rounded Line" generation by General Motors, the C/K grew in size inside and out. As pickup trucks increased in use as personal vehicles, cab features and options moved closer in line with GM sedans (with power windows and power door locks becoming options). To further expand its practicality, a four-door crew cab body was introduced (offering 6-passenger seating).
While relatively straight-lined and boxy in appearance (leading to their "Square-body" nickname from the public[15]) the Rounded Line trucks were the first generation of the C/K to be designed with the use of computers and wind tunnels, optimizing the exterior shape for lower drag and improved fuel economy. The chassis was an all-new design (with all trucks receiving a leaf-spring rear suspension); K-Series trucks moved to all-wheel drive (shift-on-the-fly 4x4 was introduced for 1981).
Alongside the introduction of the four-door crew cab, the third generation C/K marked the introduction of a dual rear-wheel pickup truck ("Big Dooley"). For 1978, the C/K became the first American full-size pickup truck sold with a diesel engine (a 5.7L Oldsmobile diesel V8); a 6.2L V8 diesel was introduced for 1982. This generation also marks the first use of the Chevrolet Silverado nameplate (in use for Chevrolet full-size trucks today).
The Rounded Line generation is the longest-produced version of the C/K model line, produced for 18 model years. For 1987, it was renamed the R/V series (to accommodate the fourth-generation C/K marketed alongside it) and was gradually phased out through the 1991 model year.

Have mine on order. What was the overall lowered height.

That will vary because you can adjust the height to your liking.
That Aldan kit looks way nicer that the CPP setup like I got... how is the geometry ? does it feel right ? I have "scrubbing" that increases as the turning radius does. Even after an alignment.

What do you mean Scrubbing, I want to do a CPP kit because I have there upper control ares already and they will sell kit without them.
@TheCanadianBubba

Geometry issues when using the stock control arms with the dropped spindles and springs from CPP. I did not have another $1500.00 for their control arms so I band aided it using wheel spacers. Edit- in tight turns you can feel the outside tire getting dragged through the turn. It is only real noticeable in places like parking lots.
would you mind sharing price? I didn't about Aldan American, I was looking at CPP and QA1
