It's a 1995 GMC 2500 w/96K on it.

I bought it from a guy who took his family to see family in Florida twice a year. Aside from being a little dated, the interior is a little tired-ish from 18 years of kids climbing all over it. But it runs like an absolute top. At one time I had three of these 5.7/350 engines and this was the smoothest running of the three.

I bought it to drive my parents around in. Dad was always stiff and sore and couldn't hardly move and mom needed an attendant, so it worked out well. I just don't need it any more. It's been sitting, but I keep it running and keep gas out of it - just put in a little every time and let it run out. Starts first time every time once I get it cranking. The battery dies a little worse every time. It's been starting it solid for the last week, but I wouldn't count on it going very long as many times as it's discharged. The air works good, but leaks out over the course of a season, and I haven't charged it since it's been sitting. I was putting about 4 cans in it in the spring. I have the tool and some cans of refrigerant.

Really it would be great for a basic BOV - it's dependable, runs like a top, and it's the heavy duty 2500 so you can load it to the gills and still tow with it. The interior, while not spectacular-looking is comfortable, but you wouldn't have to think twice about ripping it out and starting over, or just ripping it out and having a heavy duty work van with a luxurious driver's seat.

I have three sets of pictures. It's a little crusty in the recent ones, but the older ones show the 4 year old fresh paint the crust is protecting. It hasn't had any body damage of any kind since the older pics, and with a fair amount of elbow grease would probably get pretty close to that. I'm going to clean it up some, but not to that level of detail.

I'll update them when I get it cleaned up a bit if there's any interest.

I'm not looking to make any real money - mostly want it gone. So I'd be happy to pass on a deal to friends over what I'll sell it for on Craigslist.
