2001 3500-HD 8.1 / nv4500 flatbed dump

Ok so a regular 1 ton. Not a 2 ton lol…HD’s are the 10 lug rears with dropped I beam 2wd front axle. Many ways to SAS these, hardest is finding an axle….

Did any of the HD’s come 4x4?

A few were converted by aftermarket companies, but none left GM's factory as 4x4.

They're really weird-looking, extremely high ride height. Highly sought-after by those who dig 'em.

Hey @454cid - there's your bumper from that '89 dually at auction. This one looks like it's possibly hiding a winch? Assuming that slot in the front is ahead of a roller fairlead for the cable.

There was a 4wd near me somewhere for $2500, needed motor or trans, can’t remember. But as long as I can remember I wanted one, now don’t need it lol. Think driving around with 5:13s get old quick….

Don't fear the gear!

 

[b454rat]

For towing or hauling I wouldn't but for a daily driver n mostly highway it would be a bit much.

That's perfect. The screaming engine covers up all the other noises the truck makes.

 

[b454rat]

At the rate of gas prices, no, no I wouldn't like it lol. It would help with the hills around here, but then I don't do anything but work n sleep, so don't really have a need for something like that anymore.....

That was about 50 miles after we bought it in California. My son and I were laughing to the homemade CD that was all in Spanish. The Mexicans that passed us would smile and waive until they realized that the truck was occupied by a couple of gringos!
