Highlights
- Comprehensively restored by current owner
- Custom extended 8ft bed replacing original 6ft bed
- Upgraded with 33-inch wheels and enhanced suspension
- Reconditioned fuel pump (£1,850) and fuel lines in 2023
- Versatile 9-seat configuration with rear row seats added
The Appeal
The fourth generation of the Chevvy truck kept up the legacy impressively. These big four-wheel-drive machines are an icon of being purely utility-focused and rugged, with impressive torque, sharp reliability and a versatile rear bay. They've often been declared the Doomsday wagon, and prove very easy to customise!
This one catches that perfectly. The current owner has held the wagon for 15 years, and in that time has transformed it into a versatile adventure vehicle - true army all-terrain style, with a custom-extended bed, upgraded suspension, and additional seating capacity.
Originally an extended-cab example of the 3/4 ton 2500 series, it's really quite the remarkable machine. We expect it'll get plenty of interest!
