Only '69s and '70s had a "C" on the base model badge. I can see the confusion with those. Technically a K-model '69 or '70 base model would be still be a C/10 just as the others are still Custom/10 or CST/10. I'd still say "a K-model C/10" before I'd say "a 4wd C/10" just because that makes it clear it's a factory 4wd. If I had a '69 or '70 base model I would call it a K/10 and leave it at that. I just add Custom or CST and call it a K/10 Custom or K/10 CST because it is first a K/10 then a trim package. I always describe 2wds as C/10,Custom/10,CST/10,etc. because 2wd is the standard configuration.
