OBS 99 GMC 2500 CCSB

[EWheeler]

As I research for info on other CCSB's out there, I have found that there isn't much as they are pretty rare rigs. I figured I would start a thread to get more info out on these trucks.

I purchased the truck for $8200 from a dealer with 122xxx miles on it. The exterior is pretty clean and the interior is VERY clean, just some wear on the drivers seat. It has a 454 with the 4L80E auto, and as far as I know, is all stock. I came across this truck in my search for a tow rig for my Toyota Landcruiser. I really wanted something I could pay cash for, but definitely drove some trucks that I would have to finance a portion of if I pulled the trigger. The appeal of a modern diesel was strong, but when I put the numbers to it, it just didn't make sense. From my research, all models of newer diesels (2000+) had some issue that was quite expensive to take care of, not to mention the price of a used diesel pickup is ridiculous with all the new emission laden trucks that are coming out now days. I wasn't thrilled about the 454 in this truck, but at the end of the day it had the interior that I would want if I had an OBS and it was a 2500 which gave me a bit more towing capacity over a 1500, so I threw down a pile of cash and it was mine. This will be the 4th OBS truck in our family; dad had a '95 GMC 1500 which I drove for a year or so after he upgraded to a Tundra; my middle brother has a '97 1500 which is one of the cleanest and best looking OBS trucks I've seen in person; and my youngest brother just sold his 80xxx mile '98 which was another super clean OBS truck.

This is a truck at a dealership I drive by often. It is owned by the dealer owner and he wasn't interested in selling it. More than likely my truck will look like this some day, though after my last lifted IFS pickup, I swore I would never lift another IFS truck. We will see....

6" RCD on 35's, beautiful truck. This would be my 1st choice in truck color, I own a restored '75 Chevy in the same color. Black would come in at a very close 2nd.

The first addition to the truck was a set of front & rear floor liners. I had the molded Husky liners in my last truck and they served me well, so I went with them again. Model 3110 for the fronts and Model 6221 for the rears. They don't list a rear mat specifically for the 4 door truck, so I ordered the rear liners for a Yukon/Tahoe. They were a bit shallow for the truck model so I left the stock liner under the Huskys to get more coverage.

Very nice ! Great interior too.

I am curious as to what the badges/logos behind the rear doors have on them, like SLT or GMC etc?

Mine actually has Monroe Truck Equipment badges.

Badge says SLT. I like the look of your truck with the moldings removed. Removing the molding and the stainless rocker guards is on the to-do list.

Thanks a bunch.

Here is a pic of the truck before the molding was removed for reference: http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii319/mattVillac/CAM_0343.jpg

Have you thought about loosing the bug guard? That was one of first things to go on mine which seemed to clean it up a bit.
