Cheap work horse...this 1997 GMC Sierra 3500 Dump truck is gonna be a great addition to any company that needs a capable 4x4 to make money for them. ONLY 75k MILES. The 6.5l v8 diesel runs strong and smooth. The 5 speed manual transmission shifts great and the clutch grabs just as it should. Going into 4 high and 4 low there are no issues, engages and disengages just fine. It is a regular cab with the bench seat in the front. The SL package is the standard work truck set up....just the basics for this beast. It does have AC and am/fm cassette radio. Now for the down side, but for the reasons that this truck can be pretty much stolen, it has some flaws and issues....again motor, transmission, and 4 wheel drive work great, but as you can see from the pics, there are a lot of areas with rot starting to get through. Mostly on the outside of the dump body and then one spot on the front bumper. The undercarriage has clear rust, but no rot through....again it is a 16 year old work truck. PLEASE look at the pics and ask for anymore before bidding so it is clear what you are getting....I have seen many other older dump trucks with the same issues on the dump body's, and still get many more years of use out of them. Interior wise, the bench has some tearing on it and the passenger window is off the track, minor things. The one major concern there is, and why this truck MUST be picked up and not driven, is the brakes...now I drove this truck for a few miles and it feels as if the master cylinder is shot or there may be a leak in one of the lines. I didn't see any brake fluid under the truck, but when you press the pedal its spongy at best and goes to the floor...it is NOT recommended to drive this until that issue is addressed. A non driving issue is the dump body, I don't know if its a fuse, relay, or what ever, but it does not raise. As for the tires, it will need them as well to be in top running shape. Again, this truck will be cheap enough to buy, fix all the issues, and still be a deal and a half to someone....or maybe you have a similar truck and want some parts....either way ask me anything before bidding...Thank you.
