Just grabbed this about a week ago. 95% rust free. Super clean interior. New motor as of 60k miles ago and freshly rebuilt tranny last spring. The PO had receipts documenting all of this work. Runs great!

On to the pics...

This driver's seat fabricate is barely even worn. I was surprised by this.

I keep seeing one here in town that looks just like yours, late model wheels and all. It's odd though, it's a crew cab short bed. Someone must have built it, but there's nothing else custom about the truck.

if it's a half ton then it's a Centurion Conversion truck. I'd love to have one of those! :) I tried getting one of those from a guy in Miami off eBay but we couldn't come together on price.

Yep, half ton. First one I've ever seen.

yeah, they are reasonably rare especially in good shape. They basically took the crew cab long bed crew cabs and made them short beds and left the rest of the truck stock and kept the GM warranty. I don't how many went through the conversion but they did this from 97-99 on the GMT400's.

I do too :) Nothing I have listed a future mods is anything too drastic. The goal is to keep it clean but with tasteful mods :) I can never leave anything totally stock.

Nice score! Nice plans too. (Except the rollpan. Not with a lift man! C'mon!)

I was hoping to grab my buddies 2500LD crew this summer, but he sold it without ever offering it to me. I much prefer this body style to the 99-07.

Nice truck! I had a couple of these trucks and were a pleasure to work on and drive. Congrats!
