Help, What Kind Of Truck Is This?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello, I am new here. I am trying to find out some info. I saw a truck online these pictures below, but I dont know what kind of truck it is, other than a GMC (why i signed up in these forums) I had an international before and (if i can reemmber) it was a 1600 moving truck. Now im trying to buy a catering truck but the owner isnt very knowledgable or willing to look for the info i need. Youd think they want to sell their stuff right? Anyways, here is the info they did have.

 

1989 GMC (what model or engine size?)

110,000 Miles

15,000 Lbs

 

They are looking for $60,000 but since I cant do a KBB pricing on this I am a bit lost as to weather or not its worth this much. Or if you guys would be able to eithr A: Know how I can get this priced, or B: Would be able to tell me approximately how much its worth if you have experience seeing how much these trucks are. This truck is actually very clean inside from the pictures i have seen.

 

Can someone here let me know a little more info on this truck?

I should also metion that even though i dont know the year of this truck, it doesnt look like an 89, but im having trouble googling images of trucks like this one since i dont know what they are called.

Hello and Welcome. Sorry if im not real knowledgable about this subject, but i think 60K for a 21 year old truck is a little much. I think somewhere around 30-35K would be a better price estimate.

try using Catering VAN or Food Service VAN or Lunch VAN in google (adding GMC and year to it as well) with using VAN instead of Truck quite a few come up.

 

 

P-30 Gruman Van seems to be the possible model.. for a 1989 I see tons of listings for $34K - $37K in the Los Angeles area

Thanks for the reply, the strange thing is that the GMC truck in that image is only 2 years older but looks like 10 years older compared to this truck. I really wish the owners knew what they were talking about because that truck doesnt look like its from the 80's, which would explain why its being sold for 60,000 but i have no idea what kind of truck it is. I did type food and catering truck, but so many different trucks appear and still i am not able to find an image or price of this type of truck in this condition.

Here's some links on similiar trucks, it's just a food service truck as far I know1 2And there prices.

It's possible for it to be anything from an 88 to and 92 or 94 in that style, some interior pics would give you a better perspective of the year. but that's another thing about those trucks they throw the GMC logo on it, but the truck was really made by the people who made the body, which could be a variety or people.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
