I believe it's pretty rare to find 1999 1/2 ton GMT-400's. Most 99 1/2 tons were GMT-800s.
So...power locks, but manual windows? Weird
I have a '99 Silverado ECSB 2WD (NBS) that I have owned since '07 with the 4.3 Vortec, so body is GMT-800, but engine is SBC instead of a Gen III. Pretty clean truck for the year. Last year I bought a '00 K3500 CCLB that's sort of a beater. So my "newer-looking" truck is older than my "beater, older-looking" truck, LOL.
All,
Earlier this year, I picked up a 1999 (leftover 1998) Chevy K1500 and I'm curious how rare this truck is. For reference, I've owned 3 K1500s (1994 Z71, 1998 4x4 and 1999 4x4) and my Grandad has a 1998 Z71...so I've been eyeing up these trucks for 20 years and have never seen this specific combination before. Details below:
Does anyone know approximately how many of these were made in 1999, specifically in this color/feature combination? Thanks in advance!

The 4.3 is a V-6. No such thing as a SBC V-6.........
I have seen that a couple of times. Both times they were stripped down, v6 2wds and the cheaper solid bench. Definitely an oddball combination.Anyone ever see one optioned like this?

The first 4-5 months of the 99 model year only one factory was producing GMT800's. The other two continued to build Chevy and GMC GMT400's. The GMC factory was the last to switch over. I see a lot more GMC "Classics" (as GMC called the 1999 production 1/2 ton GMT400's) than I do 1999 Chevy GMT400 1/2 tons.
