2001-2006 K2500 Ext/Crew Cab-6.0 Gas

[OR VietVet]

Looking for either a Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra, K2500, 8 lug, Ext cab or Crew cab, leather or cloth interior, 6.0 engine, 4L80E, stock height in either silver, pewter, white, black or dark blue/indigo. If has a broken exhaust manifold bolt or 2, ends only, I can deal with that via the exhaust clamps made for that. 200k miles or less preferred with meticulous repair and maintenance records. No dents but a scrape or 2 is ok. NO! sun/moon roof. Needs to be close enough to PNW to be feasible. If I find the right one, I will be selling my Tahoe Z71. Pics appreciated and a CarFax. No accidents unless is very minor and no air bag deployed. Thanks for any help.

If you would’ve posted a year ago my nana had a 99 gmc 2500hd with the 8.1 and the Allison and 14 bolt rear
It was loaded all but a sunroof and white with the chrome accents on the steps fenders and bumpers it was super clean and only had like 135,000 miles my buddy got it and 3 months later totaled it into a culvert bad enough he trashed the powertrain in the wreck I was so outdone

Oh, so close.

Umm...those (2500HDs) came out in 2001...

1999-2000 they only made 1500s and non-HD 2500 (still had 8 lugs tho & 4L80e.)

Edit: obviously talking GMT800, if it's not apparent.

Oh, then there's the 1500HDs (those were real 3/4 ton trucks, just GM marketing tricking consumers because those were the only crew cab trucks they made at the time, so they needed a "1500" to compete with Ford and Dodge on the crew cab option.)

Ok, I will change the years. Thanks.

Actually, I forgot to mention...

2007 Classic (or some people call them 2007.5) is still GMT800.

If you are not going to be going to the maximum GVWR and want a crew cab, I would include the 1500HD in your search. Those had a GVWR of 8,600 lb vs 9,200 lb for the 2500HD. They are really the same frame, just had like 3.73 gears. I know you mentioned 4.10s tho.

Because the GMT 800 2500HD basically matched the previous generation C/K 3500 SRW of GVWR of 9,200 lb, they apparently didn't make a lot of 3500 SRW GMT 800s. But they are still out. Include those as well in your search...

Clear as mud?

I hope this helps

8600 GVWR is my wheelhouse and would be happy with 3.73 gear and do have my eye on a K1500HD 8 lug. Gotta go see it within next 2 days to get all other details.

Read this article: https://www.motortrend.com/news/chevy-1500hd-2001-2006-crew-cab-half-ton/

Nothing on these trucks are "half-ton." LQ4, 4L80e, 8 lug PYOs with LT tires, front torsion bar front suspension (both 2wd and 4x4), deep frame rails, 14 bolt rear axle with disc brakes, hydro boost, high payload. I call them "fake half tons."
