"1997 Chevrolet K3500 4X4 Crew Cab Long Bed Pickup

A custom dually truck is a heavy duty pickup truck with dual rear wheels.� These trucks are often used for hauling and towing heavy loads. �Custom dually trucks have a long history dating back to the 1930s, when they were first introduced as a commercial vehicle option. �At the time, they were primarily used by farmers and ranchers who needed a vehicle that could handle heavy loads and rough terrain. �During the 1950's and 1960's, custom dually trucks began to gain popularity as a personal vehicle, as well.� As the American economy boomed, more people could afford to purchase larger, more powerful vehicles, and the custom dually truck became a symbol of wealth and status. �In the 1970's and 1980's, custom dually trucks continued to evolve.� Improvements in technology and design led to more powerful engines, better fuel efficiency, and more comfortable cabins. �Additionally, increased safety regulations led to more advanced braking and suspension systems, making dually trucks safer to drive. �Today,�custom dually trucks�are popular with a wide range of consumers, including farmers and ranchers, construction workers, and recreational enthusiasts.� They are available in a wide range of styles and configurations, and they can be customized to suit the needs of any driver. �Due to their size and power,�custom dually trucks�are often used for heavy duty work such as towing large trailers, boats, and RVs. �Also, the popularity of these trucks surged again due to the trend of lifted trucks, where people lift the suspension of a truck for offroading or showing off.

For consignment, a large and in charge dually long bed 4 door crew cabbed�K3500 pickup truck.� Complete with a laundry list of upgrades and repairs during the January to June 2024 restoration, (see the detailed list of work done in our photo section), and having traveled a mere 250 miles since completion this�is almost like a brand new 27 year old truck.� Coming to our Hallowed Halls with a rebuilt 454ci gasoline gulping V8, polished aluminum wheels, a 4-speed automatic transmission and cab top running lights, you can actually feel like you are rolling in a big rig.

Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.* �

Exterior
A respray in satin black covers the long steel paneled protruding fiberglass rear fenders of this crew cab truck.� Panels are straight and the paint presents well with a nice matte finish, but does have some chips in the finish.� A blacked out front bumper and bowtie dressed grille looms behind an all front end encompassing brush guard, (think zombie apocalypse).� Outboard of this grille are aerodynamic combination headlights and turn signals with new lenses and a LED lighting upgrade.� Moving rearward allows us to view the�added cowl induction hood along with the LED cab top lighting.� The bed is green on the inside and shows use which is typically what one would do with a truck. �16-inch 8 wheel�lug�polished hoops are upfront, and on the rear are the dual reverse dish shiny 8 wheel nut dual accommodating wheels.� These are framed above by a large fender bump out which also serves to keep the bed at normal dimension whilst covering the outboard wheels.� Overall a nice presentation for a big rig style hauler for the common man.

Interior
With all 4 doors swung open we see the factory gray cloth covers on the front 70/30 split bench and the sprawling rear bench plays matchy matchy perfectly.� Between the front buckets is an oversized storage console complete with cup holders for both front seat passengers and the rear bench has its own foldable armrest as well.� The original dash and door panels show some little to no wear and staining and are in�overall good condition.� To the left of the gauge cluster, we note the headlight switch and speaking of the cluster,�it has been fully rebuilt and LED lighting converted. � To the right is the factory AM/FM/Cassette/CD stereo and the heater/AC dials.� We note that the AC has been deleted.� Like new�gray carpeting covers the floors down below are�protected by gray rubber mats.� Up high, covering the expansive roof is a tight gray cloth headliner.

Drivetrain
A big 454ci V8 with electronic fuel injection and a custom tune has been treated to the short block having been gone through during the restoration and the cylinder heads are new.� Actuating the valves is a Comp Cams .510 lift camshaft along with Comp Cams springs, lifters and valve seals.� EFI feeds this mill and is controlled by a 2007 Silverado PCM.� Bolted to the back is a 700R4 4-speed automatic with�a new trans mount and a deep trans pan.� A semi floating 14 bolt�4.10 rear axle is noted and more 4.10 gears occupy the front differential.� Our consignor notes that the EGR and EVAP systems have been deleted.

Undercarriage
Slight surface rust but nothing remarkable.� Mechanically and structurally sound, independent torsion bar front suspension with a slew of new components and leaf spring rear, this truck has been used but cared for on the maintenance front.� Power disc brakes provide the stopping power on the front and in the back, we note power drum brakes.� Gibson�is responsible for the stainless steel headers, catalytic converters and exhaust system as well as the muffler and 6"" tip on and provides a wonderful exhaust note while it removes spent gasses.

Drive-Ability
Climbing in you are immediately struck with the height you are riding at, and it gives you a sense of invincibility.� This truck started right up and has good power and smooth shifting for lots of hauling.� Seats are comfortable, and there is certainly plenty of room for the passengers.� It rides like a truck but then again what did I expect?� The only frown we noted was the AC not working, but again, our consignor notes that it was deleted, otherwise, all else was functioning swimmingly. �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.�

A life use followed by an amazing mechanical restoration of a dually, crew cab, nearly the largest pickup one could have.� Bathed in nice satin black paint, and in great condition overall. Eastbound and down...
