290hp, 7.4 liter Vortec V8 engine with fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension with coil springs, live rear axle with rear leaf springs, four-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 168.5"
The 1988-1997 Chevrolet C/K line of light trucks remains one of the most versatile vehicles ever produced. Featuring simple, yet pleasing styling, and offered with a wide range of powertrains, wheelbases and trim levels, the Chevrolet C/K remains a dependable hauler that is equally suited to work and everyday duties.
This Chevrolet 3500 series car hauler was purchased new in 1996 by Art Astor to transport the vehicles in his prized collection, and has travelled approximately 55,000 miles. Finished in a handsome red, it remains in excellent condition. Hodges Custom Haulers, of Paducah, Kentucky, fitted the truck with a ramp-style cargo bed, which includes a winch and storage compartments. The truck also includes dual rear wheels, a heavy-duty rear axle, extra-wide side view mirrors, clearance lights, and a chrome front bumper. The exterior finish clearly benefits from regular detailing and maintenance, and the truck continues to be surprising attractive, despite its primary function as a working vehicle.
The extended passenger cabin accommodates five adults, and is equipped with a full suite of amenities including power steering, brakes, and windows, along with cruise control and a four-speed automatic transmission. Optional features include a front-mounted center console, an AM/FM radio with cassette deck and CD player, keyless entry, and air conditioning. Overall, the interior remains in original, well-maintained condition, with no stains or tears to be seen. As well, the engine bay and undercarriage both remain in very good condition, which is consistent with the low mileage and careful maintenance that this truck has received.
Overall, this Chevrolet 3500 Series car hauler remains in excellent condition. Very well equipped, it stands ready to transport the collection of its next astute owner with style and comfort for many years to come.
