you happen to be viewing this 1998 GMC Sierra K1500 Pickup on a
website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that
you've only seen some of our many photographs of the truck due to
third-party website limitations. To be sure you access all the more

'88-98 Chevy and GMC pickups are becoming true classics. �€"
Driving Line, July 2020 Driving Line explained: When a vehicle
becomes a classic, it usually falls into one of two categories.
Rare, exclusive, unusual, or popular and iconic. A Ferrari F40 will
fall into that first category while a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang will
fall into the second. And, as the years go on and vehicles age, we
will be welcoming new classics that represent all categories. As we
head into the 2020s, the 1988-98 Chevy C/K pickup truck is on its
way to becoming a classic in the popular and iconic category. The
'88-'98 Chevy truck along with its GMC twin represent a perfect
blend of the classic and the modern. From its just-right size to
its subtle styling, the GMT400 trucks have earned a lot of fans
over the decades. Offered here is an excellent, one-owner example
of this award-winning value: a 1998 Chevrolet Sierra K1500 regular
cab with short bed, 4-wheel-drive in Medium Dark Teal (code 36)
over light gray. The truck's odometer shows 134,075 miles, but the
Carfax history suggests that the true mileage is in excess of
225,000 miles, likely due to an odometer replacement earlier this
year.) This mileage level is still just 10,500 miles per-year on
average, well under what Carfax regards as average annual mileage.
The overall excellent condition of the pickup shows what can result
from the owners' commitment to care and regular servicing in spite
of higher mileage. The pickup's original Teal paint retains
excellent shine across all body panels, including the tailgate.
(For the best assessment of paint condition, please refer to the
close-up photos included in the gallery.) There are no dings,
dents, or other damage on the sheet metal. Chrome bumpers, grille
trim, and aftermarket twisted-spoke-style, 17-inch aftermarket
wheels (mounted with Sailun® Geolander® Terramax AT LT265/75
all-terrain tires), are all in excellent condition. Lighting lenses
are clear and un-cracked, and cabin glass is similarly free of
damage. All factory emblems-including the gold bowtie emblem in the
front grille, bowtie with 1500 model-designation on the front
fenders, and Chevrolet Silverado emblems on the cabin and the
tailgate remain mounted. The Z71 graphic (designating the truck's
off-road package) is also in place on the rear quarter panels. The
black rear step-bumper and all other rubber body trim remains in
excellent condition. The pickup's interior is entirely stock. The
light-gray textured-fabric upholstery on the bench seat and armrest
has been maintained well; only light evidence of wear is present.
All other interior surfaces are in good-to-excellent condition,
with the exception of the radio's push-button surfaces which are
significantly worn. The tan carpeting is clean with some light
staining. The truck's black dash features driver-focused, complete
instruments (including tachometer) together with controls for the
factory radio, and the HVAC controls located on the right hand
side, surrounded by black for easy legibility. All instrument and
control graphic markings are clear and crisp. Power window and
door-lock controls are mounted on the well- maintained door trim.
The automatic-transmission shifter is column-mounted while a
push-button on the dash controls the four-wheel-drive. Under the
hood, the vener
