1998 GMC 3500 HD Overhaul - Crew Cab Commercial Chassis GMT-455

Basically fits in the lineup between a C3500 and a Kodiak/TopKick. GM's nomenclature reuse is typically confusing, the 800 model C/K3500s became 3500HD trucks, introduced in 2001, but the 455 model ran through 02. So for 2 years you could buy a new C3500HD in two completely different body styles, 400 and 800

This chassis would be worth a modern diesels swap to haul heavy.

What's the wheelbase? Truck looks like a shorty here.
Or was it originally not a crew cab? The curvature of the frame makes it look like it was always a crew cab. Unless they just did weird stuff with this chassis.

171" is the Wheelbase I have measured. It is a factory cab conversion from 2 to 4 door. Any frame changes would be from GM.

What a beast of a truck, especially for the time. I'd argue though that the can and chassis wasn't too far off.

But this unit looks so much longer than the OP's.

Actually the first three are the 3500HD, the last two are a van(my bad)
This is not a GMT-455 chassis in my opinion...
Frame is smaller
no disk brakes
Perhaps an early model?
Or are the pics for comparison?
