New to Chevy, but not new to trucks. I went and checked out a '96 Chevy K2500 the other day and loved it, will have it in a few days. It's an ext. cab short box, 4x4, auto with a 350. It has a tow package, which I was looking for, I'll be towing a car trailer loaded down with tools and what not during the spring all the way through fall for derby's.
I have a few questions, that google couldn't answer for me. Is there any difference between the engines and/ or tranny's for the 1500 and 2500? It didn't feel sluggish at all and I couldn't tell what gears were in there(in the glove box) as I said, not too familiar with Chevy's, I know my way around a Ford. Anyway, it's been babied for the most part and it shows, lots of power, nice and clean, no leaks, no signs of any atleast. The truck I have now is a '95 F150 with the 300 Straight six, so going to a bigger V8 will be an adjustment, for power and gas mileage.
It has a few spots of rust on the door, burgundy, overall seems like a great truck. I got it for what I think is a good deal, $5000 flat, comes with a canopy and set of studded winters on rims(I'm in Northern BC, Canada) so that's a big plus. Oh and it has 171,700KM(a little over 106,000Miles) so I'm happy with that!
One more questions, could it be classified as a '97 since the Mfg date on the door jam is 07/96 or is it still a '96? I know now a days if it's June or later, they push it for the next year

I'll be sure to find another 4x4 for a toy later on, sometime after winter is over
