Was looking around on the internet and started realizing crew cabs this vintage might be unicorns. To bad because I may be replacing my 02hd soon and want a crew cab. I would consider these older trucks I had an 88 and it was a good truck. Not sure yet about the newer stuff no experience with them yet time to start test driving I guess.

I find they sit around more, unless fleet version in a business.

 

96-02.. those got driven more. the vortec gave more air (power).

I just picked up a 1997 GMC K3500 crew cab back in November, I've been slowly fixing things which don't equal much but I like it. :)

 

 

BTW, I picked this up for $1500 and the 4WD didn't work, only because the front U-joint was broken.

I'm looking to buy this truck and was wondering if anyone knew if it is worth $6000.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It came from Arizona so it has sun damage on the paint. Body is in good condition but does have some dents, all minor though. This truck is strong, it has no problem towing. It is my daily driver and has been very reliable to me. It is a great looking truck but is not perfect. The interior is nice with no rips in seats. It does have stains in the carpet but most are from my kids and I'm sure could be cleaned with a carpet cleaner.. or just covered with floor mats. The headliner has a few cuts in it but it's not sagging and still looks nice. The camo vinyl wrap can be removed. There is nothing wrong with this truck except one door panel is missing a piece and the handle is broken. It also needs a new CV Axle for the driver side. Other than that there's nothing wrong with it. It was wired for a CB but I took the radio out, the antenna will stay. It also had lights mounted on top. The light bar will stay in place as well as the harness that's already wired in. It is also wired for a sub, this wires will stay in place. The truck will also come with 5 extra tires (4..Toyo open country 65%. 1.. Pro Comp 30%). It will be sold she sits!

 

 

 

More details:

It has 149K miles. Supercharged 5.7L, automatic transmission and push button 4x4. Electric fans. 6 inch lift. Transmission was rebuilt last year. Oil changed about a month ago. Tires were put on last year but still has about 95% tread (35x12.5x18). All brakes were done within the last year or so including rotors, drums, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and brake booster. New headlights less than a year ago. All interior lights have been changed to LEDs with red LED Strips under the dash and back seats. All windows work and battery is only 2 months old.

If it runs and drives well I'd say 6k is a good deal. Of course have it checked out by a reputable mechanic before dropping cash.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
