And holy **** !!! My ******* goes back to waste another 3 minutes of my life and look at the pics. When does the bleeding stop??? Sumbish !!! Tore up seat, missing arm rest, needs suspension rebuilt, rust scales, NEW MOTOR with ONLY 60,000 miles, used transmission with unknown miles that quit working OMG !!! No offense, please please please, don't anyone tell this guy about this place. Seriously, its a $600-$700 truck as is and that is being hella generous. More like $400-$500.

Oh yeah, cuz all they got was a stereo head unit and if equiped, they got a cassette deck in the center of the dash. Damn, I hated that too. I had an 88, and 3 differant 93's and a 94. I was so happy when the 95's hit. I kid you not, I was following a car transport down I-35 in about Aug of 94, maybe Sept can't recall now, seems like they hit the lots late, so probably September, I could see the round dash as I was passing, and said, whoa nelly !!! I slowed down to get a better look, changed lanes got on the other side of it, couldn't see alot but enough to know it was differant and I wanted it. I followed that truck for 22 miles and seen it get off the highway and said, Cool, I hope its going to Spencers. It sure did. I asked for permission to jump up on the trailer and look at the 2 Indigo Blue trucks. I told the salesman, hey, don't unwrap these 2 trucks, I'll be back at 7pm tonight, and I'm buying one of those. Not sure which one yet, but if you let New Car Prep touch either one of those, deal is off. I want to unwrap it myself. Just park them out back side by side, don't even put the stickers in the windows. Of course I fugged up by being so admant that I was buying one of them. That took away my negotiating power cuz they knew they had me sold already. Well, I got all pissy and said, F this crap, about he said, she said, back and forth, get that damn manager in here now with the invoice, I am buying a damn truck tonight whether its here or somewhere else, now that I know they have hit the lots, and I'm running out of time, other dealers close at 9 and Howard is open til 10, so get right, or let me go. No kidding, 10 minutes later, I signed on the dotted line at Invoice price and took one home. I still felt like I paid to much, cuz I never pay invoice even, but still being a new model and they only had a total of 3, 2 blue and a white one, I felt good to get Invoice, but I may very well have been the first person in OK to own a round dash GMT 400. Then I had it 6 months and traded in for a 95 2500HD Xcab 6.5 4x4 with NV4500. Wife didn't like it, so 4 months after that, the 96 and Vortech came out, so I got the same truck as my first 95 in the 96 except the Vortech and locking diff, had that about 5 months, then traded for a 96 Crew Cab Dually 2wd, blah blah, I've have way to many new trucks. Sorry bout the rat hole, just saying, I was happy to get away from the 88-94 dash.

I'm the odd man out I guess...I LIKE the 1988-94 dash...

If I can't find my ideal square, I want to pick up a 1988 GMC stepside and make it into an indy hauler clone.

I actually liked it went it back to needles instead of that funky 88-89 guage BS, but I didn't like the CD player being divorced and so far away. I did like the 95 where it had the CD player and cassette below in the cubby. I like the fabric pattern better too in the 95 up. That velour or whatever kinda cloth in 94 earlier was to soft and seemed to get damaged eaiser. Now I do like it in Squares though for some reason.

I have my doubts about this truck being so original...

1: SPID label says it has the trailering special option which was different than the camper special, but it has camper special emblems when trailering special emblems were available. I thought the camper special was only available on 20 and 30 trucks.

2: SPID label says it has the spare tire delete. It has a spare tire.

I'm aware it wasn't available. So then this unit are talking about, it goes in the center where the CD player went and not in the head unit??? What did you get it out of ??

AH, I guess you were referring to an aftermarket CD player then. :)

The vehicle it came from is still a secret...;)

That exhaust is not original either.

Uhh, no, I meant in the center where the cassette deck goes. So is it a divorced CD player, or in the head unit?

It is a divorced CD player. :)
