This is a 1997 Chevrolet C-1500 2wd, real 4 door crew cab, built by Centurion Conversion company. I will give some history on these trucks, if you are not familiar, GM did not make a crew cab Silverado 1500 (1/2 ton, 5 lug) in the 90's. (They only made the 1500 in regular cab or ext cab, or crew cabs in 2500, or 3500, 8-lug.) Centurion took a regular cab short bed, straight off the GM assembly line, stretched the frame, and bought all genuine GM parts, (cab and interior parts) and made these crew cab short beds. They then sent them to the GM dealers to sell as new trucks. This conversion costs $18,000, plus the msrp of the original truck was around $21,000. These truck were not cheap. These truck are very rare, rumor is they only made about 100 of them per year, (from 1995-1998). Just a quick note, because of the conversion, the VIN and registration shows as a regular cab 2 door truck. The truck is dark polo green with grey interior. 5.7L 350 V8, 4 speed auto, trailer hitch. VERY LOW MILES, only 95,670. (I am still driving the truck, so the mileage will go up a little) When the previous owner got it here, he installed a new belt, fuel filter, K&N air filter, Optima yellow top battery, had the oil changed, tinted the windows all around , and installed a new CD radio with USB connector for your Ipod. The previous owner bought the truck from the original owner, that had it for 14 years, 6 months. . It was located in NV, and had been garage kept all it's life. He had it shipped to him in South Florida. I bought the truck a bought to years ago. I flow out to Florida made the transaction and drove it back to me in NY. (drove like a dream). It was a desert and southern truck, NO rust at ALL. The interior is almost perfect, I would say 8.5 out of 10. The truck had a carpeted dash cover(that the original owner installed, so the dash is perfect). The previous owner added custom made floor mats front and rear when he got it. It has a 40/60 split bench seat in the front, and a bench seat in the back, hold 6 very comfortably. The passenger front door has 3 small door dings in it (I would assume they could be taken out by a paint-less dent guy) the hood also has two dings. The paint has some scratches in it nothing major, but from 5 feet away you can't even see them. The paint is still very good, and shines nice, (except the roof and tops of the doors, it's now faded, it just doesn't shine like the rest of the truck). I was going to have a detail shop do a good buff out the paint, but just never had it done. After i purchased the truck i lowered it 4 in the front and 6 in the rear . the front was lowered with spindles, coils and custom shocks. In the rear i did a flip kit and new custom shocks. Also installed helper bags with two separate air valves for height if i add a load in the rear. I did keep all the original parts. Never did any performance work to motor or trans at all. i also add a tonneau bed cover as well The truck runs and drives great. It gets about 20 mpg on the highway. The truck never saw snow or salt. garaged in the winter. The stock tires have a lot of tread left on them(rims are plastic dipped in black), one is missing a trim ring. The Aftermarket rims are 20" and have great tires with only about 1000 mile on them . I searched long and hard to find this truck. But just went through a divorce and need to sell it. I will pass this one on to someone else. It is available to be looked at New City, N.Y. Any questions please ask. I have the clean N.Y. title on hand in my name ready to sign over. Sorry for the bad pics.
