1989 Chevorlet Scottsdale C/K 2500HD 3/4 Ton LWB Pickup with the 5.7L EFI (350) engine, Turbo 400H Automatic Transmission, Heavy Duty Dana Limited Slip Rear Axle, Heavy Duty Suspension, factory Towing Package, and Class V Equlizer Hitch. This is a good, solid, reliable pickup. We use her on our ranch here and to pickup up supplies in town, in fact this is our primary vehicle for picking up supplies such as horse feed, lumber, fencing materials, etc. We have had her for a little over a year now, I actually bought her one night when a young man who I've known since he was a kid came up to my house at almost 10pm one night and said his girlfriend had been arrested here in our county for failure to pay a speeding ticket and she didn't show up to court or something like that. He remembered that one day when he had stopped by to talk about selling a horse that I'd commented on how clean the truck still was, I knew his father owned the truck for years way back before the boy took it to college and then off to work somewhere for a few years. The young man (now probably 27) had the clean title with him and wanted to know if I would loan him enough money against it to pay his girlfriends fines if he left me the title and the tuck. I told him I wasn't interested in loaning him money but I would just buy it outright and in a few weeks if he had enough money to buy it back along with a hundred for my troubble that I'd sell it back to him but if he didn't do that with in two weeks that I would just sell it to get my money back. Well he messed around and never did seem to quite come up with the cash to buy it back even though I gave him plenty of extra time, I ended up liking the tuck and it drives really nice and the long fullsized bed was nice for hauling stuff so I've ended up keeping it for a bit over a year now. It's been a great truck and before putting it for sale I even contacted the boys father this week to make sure he had no sentimental attatchment, but he knows my wife is ill and that we're having to liquidate many of our vehicles and ranch equipment and said to go ahead and sell it. I think the bed has been changed at some point in time before I got it and the young man has used some touchup paint in a couple of places, but I don't think it's been wrecked but really don't know. I think the boy was just tryng to fix it up a little with the goal of customizing it someday. One thing he did get done to it was a brand new dual exaust setup with what I think are Flowmaster mufflers and stainless tips, the truck sounds nice, a low throaty sound without being overly loud or obnoxious. He also put heavy duty tires on the front awhile back and I think the rear tires are still in good condition too, or maybe I have that backwards. The only two things that really arn't what I'd call passable are both cosmetic, the first one is the bottom of the seat on the drivers side. The young man had a nice western-pattern seat cover on it that matched the rest of the interior but I took that off so that you could actually see what the seat looks like underneith the cover. The other thing is the headliner, Apperantly the cloth material started falling down and the young man used a common household staple gun to tack it back up and it just looks bad. As a ranch and around town errand vehicle it just wasn't important to us to fix it but I do know that it is actually easy to fix for anyone who's interested in taking a couple of hours to do it. You can take the headliner down and scrape off the old glue and use 3M spray on fabric glue from any auto parts store to glue on new padded headliner material also availble in many locations. What I can tell you about it is that it drives good, the steering and suspension is nice and tight, brakes are good, engine and transmission are solid. She runs like a scalded dog and the transmission is smooth and crisp. All of the luxury and operational controls such as cruise, tilt, intermitant wipers, stereo, etc. all work good. It has a seperate factory cassette deck off to the side but I haven't owned a cassette in years so I don't know if that works or not. It has factory rubber mats instead of carpet and a factory GM rubber floormat that goes all the way across on top of that. The only issue that I know of is that the air conditioning is cold but bleeds down over time so if you recharge it you get about a months or so use out of it before you need to add more freeon to the system again. We generally drive with the windows down here around the ranch and town anyway so just don't even bother most of the time. Someone said the engine is a Votec engine but I don't know if that's true or not, it doesn't say Vortec on it but they told me that the first generations didn't and I don't know when they started making the Vortec engines. I do know that it's solid and runs great, she's got lots of power and doesn't smoke or use oil between oil changes. The body is solid and I believe her to be totally rust free. It has an equlizer hitch up under the backend and we sometimes use it to move around horse trailors. It has the factory 2500HD suspension with the 8 lug hubs. I have never specifically checked her gas miledge but she actually seems to go a pretty good distance on a tankful. Awhile back we did take her on a highway trip out of state to pickup a horse and I was impressed that we only had to fill it up once going and then halfway back and that was all the way up into lower-middle Missouri which I felt was pretty good for pulling an empty two-horse trailer going up and the same trailer with a single horse coming back. The hills didn't bother this truck at all and she's got big brakes and stops wonderful. It does have an electric trailer brake controller but the connector was wrong for our horse trailer so we were pulling the horse and trailer without the aid of the electric brakes. What you see is what you get, I took the pictures just this afternoon and have posted them without any editing. She's an original Arkansas pickup with a clean Arkansas title. The winning bidder is expected to pick her up within 7 days of the end of the auction and if it's going to be more then three days before you can pick her up we'd like a $500 deposit so we know your serious. She is a used truck so we're of course selling as is without any warrantee or guarantees, written, expressed, or implied. If you want to have her inspected at your own expense before you bid then please contact me and we can get together on a date and time. If the winning bidder is from out of state and wants to fly into the Little Rock National airport I can meet you for $50 extra so I can pay someone from our church to follow me to the airport and then drive me back home afterward because it's about a 240 mile round trip and my wife can no longer drive. We may also call an ad in to the local paper this week so we reserve the right to end the auction early in the event of a local sale.
