That BaT GMC went for $14,251-I was kind of hoping that a 3/4T GMC would fly under the squarebody radar. Guess not.

Yeah, the price stayed very reasonable until the last 37 minutes and then wow, they came out to win.

I signed up for BAT and saw that one sell.

I also spent some time soul searching.

I passed on a local truck.

I passed on this one for sale locally, one owner, inside its whole life.

Wow, those are some nice looking trucks!
Not sure what your soul searching turned up, but this is on Hemmings and in Canada too. Extended cab for extra room, roadside naps, 5th wheel mount in bed and a 110 gallon auxiliary tank for extended driving range.

Funny you should say…….. I have officially changed from 1971/1972 to 1996-2000 and I want a K2500 4WD, regular cab, long bed.
Low miles, excellent condition
5.7, or 7.4
4L80E
AC
P06 wheels

Amy and I had a long chat and we feel it’s best to buy what is practical, reliable, comfortable,
Safe, and to buy what I really want not the first truck that pops up.

Ryan , You need a 1971 454 SS Chevelle Wagon ! I have pics !

The 2000 was a new body style from the '96-99 and was all LS engines in SBC, but 5.3 for the small block. That body carries over thru 2002. I had a '95 5.7 and went to a 2000 with an LS and it is a world of difference in power and economy between the old TBI gen 1 5.7 sbc and the LS. There were 6.0 and 6.2 LS gas engines in the 2500 series that would be better suited for an enclosed trailer than the 5.3
Keep looking and you will find one you like.

I think the K2500 stayed OBS in 2000…… I think both new and old versions of 2000 were built.

I am confident with 4.10’s the Vortec 5.7 or 7.4 would be just fine…. Am I right/wrong?
