2000 Chevrolet 2500 LS Crew Cab 4x4 Short Bed Pickup
"America is still the land of rugged individualists, cue Bob
Seger's Like a Rock...and every one of them demands something
different from their Chevrolet truck. But they all want the same
thing, the most dependable, longest lasting trucks on the road.
Like a rock.". This was Chevrolet's ad from over 30 years ago and
while some things may have changed, we love seeing older Chevrolet
trucks here at Classic Auto Mall!
For consignment, a 2000 Chevrolet 2500 LS Crew Cab 4x4 short bed
pickup with a title verified 78,996 actual miles. As trucks get
bigger and more laden with gizmos and gadget, trucks of this
particular generation are more sought after, and here's a well
kept, example ready to go to work!
Exterior
It may be a short bed, but with a crew cab, this is a long vehicle
done up nicely in factory Dark Carmine Red Metallic but you can
call it maroon! Broad chrome rocker panel trim adds some visual
interest while a matching bed cap adds some weatherproof utility
and some good looks too! There are tubular chrome step bars to get
you up to the cab, perched here on 16-inch wheels with Michelin
L265/75R16 tires with plenty of clearance inside the wheel openings
for rugged terrain. Flush tail lights bookend the smooth tailgate
underscored by a robust rear bumper, hitch receiver and chrome
exhaust tip. More chrome occupies the front where the new grille
surrounds the new stacked headlights over marker lights in what
some consider the best fascia Chevrolet trucks produced. There are
remarkably few imperfections on the exterior, limited to a small
scratch and ding on the hood and a corrected chip. This is one
pampered pickup!
Interior
It's pretty minty on the inside too where gray formed plastic,
cloth inserts, and dark gray switchgear make up the door panels and
all four are in great shape. Gray leather bucket seats wear covers
and other than some typical wrinkling on the driver's seat, both
are in very nice condition. In an extra measure of care, the rear
bench is also covered and clean. Up front, the showroom fresh
dashboard is fronted by a clean black steering wheel while the
Delco AM/FM/Cassette & CD radio and plastic knobbed A/C panel live
to the right of the gauge cluster, fully integrated and dust free.
Gray carpet is protected by maroon carpeted mats and the overhead
console and foam formed gray cloth headliner make a fine
presentation.
Drivetrain
A K&N filter fronts the cold air system of this 5.7 liter SFI
V8 with 255 horsepower and newer injectors and dyno tuning. It's
mated to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission that routes power
to the 10 bolt rear and front axle, both with 4.10 gears and
positraction in back.
Undercarriage
Clean, rust free conditions prevail underneath and its dry as well.
A single exhaust runs through a FlowMaster muffler on its way to
the chrome tipped exit. Power brakes are configured as front disc
and rear drum and suspension includes torsion bars up front and
leaf springs in back. There is no catalytic converter on board.
Drive-Ability
2000 was 26 years ago if you can believe it, so this qualifies as a
time capsule of a time long, long ago. It's clean as a whistle
inside and out and the 5.7 comes to life with a bit more guttural
exhaust than your typical truck of the time. On the test loop, the
rig does everything well and gets no complaints from us, especially
as all functions operate just as they did when this rolled out of
the Pontiac Michigan plant. While Classic Auto Mall represents that
these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
Regular trucks come and go here at the mall; after all, car people
need to haul stuff and also have something useful to drive when the
classic or race car is put away. Here's one of the cleanest we've
seen and one that will likely not be here long enough to collect
dust on its Carmine exterior.
