Checked out this 1988 K2500 today. One owner(grandpa passed away), 120k miles, manual transmission and a carbureted V8. Clearly not an expert on these trucks so how much do you think this one's worth? And would I be stupid to think I could drive it 250 miles back and forth occasionally?
Id get it if possible. These are literally the best vehicles GM has ever made
Ah yea. How much do those weigh? Also 1600 pounds in a 2500? Thats weak for a 2500, even of that era, on HD F250s have more than that
Haha nice. Small displacement manual trucks are pretty fun.
I still like driving my ranger, but it needs suspension work, but money is a little tight right now, so i cant drive it for a little bit.
Oh ok. Thats actually less than i thought. Im not 100% on the torque and power of the 350 TBI, but if imagine it would be fine. As long as the truck itself has the paylof capacity.
Payload capacity doesnt effect a trucks acceleration and top speed much, it simply is just how much your suspension can hold. I haul atuff in the beds of my trucks every day for work. My 3/4 ton, RAM has a payload or like 3000 pounds and the acceleration empty is really bot much off the max capacity
Ill be honest, a couple years ago i got a ranger with a 2.3l i4, i drove that little thing overloaded for like a year for work. Its alk i could afford, and i would haul anything from 800-1700 pounds with it, and it did just fine. Obviously you shouldn’t overload your truck, but i was just saying that as an example. That ranger has less than 100 HP and a 5 broken speed manual.
Sorry for the text wall

Wdym? Non 8 lug doesnt mean it wont be a good truck. Unless you are using it to haul near the max payload, it doesnt really matter.
