K1500? Correct?
C1500 most likely only had a 28.9" tire. So a bit closer.
Either way, that's part of why those cars are so friggin comfy.

So, used the Grimm Jeeper calculator earlier, and you were very nearly spot on when you called out a 3.23 ratio, at least when compared to the 235/75/R16 of a C1500. Still not a ratio I myself would tow with on any regular basis. But doable.

So, I may possibly have a line on a '98 K1500 Burb. $1000, needs a transmission. Already sent a message to the seller, so I guess we shall see what happens. Would definitely like to have a 1500 for better fuel mileage, and to keep miles off of Elise.

Yup. Really really hoping it ain't a scam. Doesn't seem to have any of the typical hallmarks of such. Has an out of state plate, but I've checked several different areas on Craigslist, and it hasn't shown anywhere other than the posting I found local.
Just run the vin and get the title

Yup. Just waiting to hear back now.

For some reason I wasn't getting my notifications on this thread?!
Took some reading to get caught up. I'm a full size B-Body guy, and have been looking for the "right" Buick Roadmaster sedan or station wagon to bring home for a back and forth to work rig. I'd prefer a pre-94 because I like the dashes better (they have a tach included in the cluster) and the engine is getting LS swapped no matter what. Slap some Impala wheels on it and drive the hell out of it!
Good luck on the potential 'burb purchase however. I'd have a fleet of them if I had covered storage for them all!

What years and models were the LT1 anyway? Couldn't of been very long before the LS came out?
