Vehicle Description
This 1988 Chevrolet 2500 gives you a lot of extras. It's an
extra-duty 2500-series chassis. It has extra usefulness with the
long bed. There's extra comfort in the loaded interior. And it has
the extra ability with the V8 power and 4x4 drivetrain.
This is a great year in Chevy trucks. 1988 debuted a new design,
the echoes of which are still seen today. This one looks like a
long-haul king with the front bug guard, mud flaps, and tall
Michelin tires on the 16-inch alloys. The two-tone gray and black
paint shows all the right signs of being the original application.
It's far from perfect nearly 35 years later, and so some may want
to invest in a respray... but most truck people see an attraction
in the earned respect that has the same kind of appeal as patina.
And there's also a tone of work-ready attitude in this classic
Chevy. After all, the long bed allows you to carry more. And when
that's not enough, you have a proper trailer hitch and trailer
brake.
The interior has the stock style of a loaded Silverado. You have
power windows, power locks, sliding rear glass, and factory air
conditioning upgraded to cold-blowing R134a refrigerant. And the
radio is the cool/classic AM/FM unit with a separate cassette
player in the middle of the dash. It's comfortable for the driver
with a nice cloth bench seat, a tilt steering column, and a clear
gauge package.
Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8. These small block motors
have a hardy reputation, and this comes from the era of factory
fuel injection. While it's unknown if the odometer reflects the
actual mileage, this V8 fires up eagerly like a well-maintained FI
machine. Another great part of the 1988 redesign included a new
chassis where the 4x4s first got an independent front suspension.
So you still have the go-anywhere nature of a four-wheel-drive
truck with a two-speed transfer case, but now it's more everyday
easy. In fact, the all-around nice driving nature is seen in the
power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed
automatic transmission with highway-ready overdrive.
When a cool classic pickup offers this much extra, you need to be
extra quick to catch this deal. Call today!!!
