1997 Chevrolet K1500 Silverado 5.7l 4x4 Crew Cab Short Bed Ultra Rare Centurion on 2040-cars
Morganville, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for sale is a Very Rare 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Centurion edition package with the 5.7L 350 Vortec Engine with an automatic 4L60E transmission. It has a 10 Bolt Rear Axle with the GT4 G80 3.73 ratio. The truck has right around 148,000 miles on it. It is a crew cab short bed truck which wasn't available from the factory, only as a conversion from Centurion. They didn't make many of these and finding one this clean is almost impossible. The truck spent most of its life in Florida which is why it is so clean and 100% Rust Free! It is a 4x4 truck with the Z71 Off-Road Package. The truck is in overall very good condition. It starts right up and drives smooth and straight. No issues mechanically. The interior I will call a 7 out of 10 as the top of the dashboard has cracks due to the Florida Sun. There will be a dashboard cover put on the dash before the truck is sold, which doesn't look bad. The seat has a very small tear/hole on the drivers side and there are a few stains on the carpet. The exterior of the truck I will call a 9 out of 10. There are some small blemishes around the truck and a couple of small dings. No major dents or rust ANYWHERE. The underside of the truck is probably the cleanest I've ever seen in my area. It looks like it was never driven in type of inclement weather. The truck has power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as cruise control, push button 4x4, aftermarket CD player, day-time running lights, cargo light, and power lumbar seats.
I will give some history on these trucks, if you are not familiar, GM did not make a crew cab Silverado 1500 (1/2 ton, 6 lug) in the 90's. (They only made the 1500 in regular cab or extended cab, or crew cabs in 2500, or 3500, 8-lug.) Centurion took a regular cab short bed, straight off the GM assembly line, stretched the frame, and bought all genuine GM parts, (cab and interior parts) and made these crew cab short beds. They then sent them to the GM dealers to sell as new trucks. This conversion costs $18,000, plus the MSRP of the original truck was around $21,000. These trucks were not cheap. These trucks are very rare, rumor is they only made about 100 of them per year, (from 1996-1998). Just a quick note, because of the conversion, the VIN and registration shows as a regular cab 2 door truck.
If anyone is interested in getting this truck shipped to them I will gladly assist with any shipping company on pick-up, as long as you set everything up. I will also offer to tow the truck free to the buyer as long as they are in a 50 mile radius if the reserve price is met.
If you have any questions about the truck, would like more information, or pictures of a specific part of the truck please feel free to contact me. Thanks and Good Luck!

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
