stuff that catches my eye

Yes, Silverado was a package in the GMT 400 line, Unlike the GMT 800s. Kind if like the LTZ today, the 400 Silverados were top of the line. My 97 is a Silverado and has almost all of the OE options. Only options missing on mine is leather and power seats. Oh, and overhead console.

My grandpa's 97 QC conversion is like that too, except it has the custom leatherette seats, but I assume it had factory cloth seats prior. Weird how some Silverado's didn't come with overhead console, you would think since they were the top of the line package they would've had them by default.

In 88 there weren't near that many options. My "Silverado" came with PW, PDL, Cruise, tilt wheel, AM/FM Cassette, sport steering wheel, Moonie gauges (yuck) no tach, trim package with plastic "chrome" strip on sides and front bumper, and gold bow tie. It didn't even come with a cargo light or center brake light, no remote entry, no overhead console, etc. They came a long way in 11+ years.

My 96 silverado doesn’t have the overhead console and it has Cloth front seats but a rear leather so i think the fronts were recovered or replaced.

In the hunt for a truck for our oldest, I ran across this listing for a Dodge. I like them, they’re nice looking trucks. But damn they have dash issues worse than our trucks...

I'm not even sure if GMT400 pickups had the overhead console as an option? I think that was am option ins Suburbans/Tahoes. Upfitters may have installed them though.

I wish my truck had the manual transfer case.

I had manual shift TC with a manual 5 spd, currently have the NP243C in my 96 and 97, it's kind of a toss up for me. The weak link is the actuator, which is the same regardless of the TC.

I’ve got one that came in mine (98 ex-cab) but can’t say that I’ve ever used anything in it. The garage door opener thing with the LEGO blocks and Velcro strip is a curiosity these days.

east,
Do you know what RPO code that was in a pickup? The same as the SUV's?

It looks like it was DK6, think you had to have bucket seats to get it though.

In my experience, usually the 2500/3500s weren't as highly optioned as a half ton was, but you mentioned that it probably had leather seats which confuses me why yours didn't come with the console from the factory.

Imo, that's the best looking era of the Dodge trucks. Dash issues are notorious in those 2nd gens.

When I was younger, two of my uncles bought brand new 2nd gen Dodges with the 24V Cummins, one was blue and one was a burgundy/purple, both were chromed out. My dad had put dual chrome stacks on both of them as well. Those things were badass. I think my parent's still have pictures of the blue one if you'd want to see it.

I'm not even sure if GMT400 pickups had the overhead console as an option? I think that was am option ins Suburbans/Tahoes. Upfitters may have installed them though.

Both of my trucks have the overhead console from the factory. Reg cabs never got them iirc. I'm not entirely sure if there is an RPO code for it.
