hotwheels that's a cool truck with the long bed. is that config a little rare, with the SLE style back seat and the long bed ?
According to the VIN number report, there were 15,197 CCLB C3500 built in '97. About 3500 had the split bench, and apparently about 2400 of those had cloth interior in the Neutral color, and the two headrest rear bench is in all of the trucks. Don't know how many have the folding center armrest though.
My truck has the Silverado equipment packages so it is a little bit plusher than many Crew Cab trucks. I speculate that it was special ordered. The original owner bought it to keep at his country property and haul a small boat with, to the local lakes or to the Coast.
Crew Cabs were only available as 3500 series in C or K configuration, from 1992-2000, except for the K2500/3500 crew cab short bed with the 6.5' bed starting in '98 model year.... although I may have some of this information incorrectly stated!
There are a few more of these big boys around, that I've seen in Houston area, but they're definitely a work truck platform. That eight foot bed does get fully utilized at times:

First actual work this truck's done since getting hauled out of the mud.

I swear, if you look at that door from the right angle, you can see where Bambi's head didn't Dodge, but rammed it.

Don't feel bad. It is a truck & trucks are meant to be used. Ha look at my Ole farm truck. Don't be afraid to post.

Look at this old ugly duckling!
