I'm looking into buying a truck with room for my new twins and came across a 1998 crew cab Z71 in excellent condition. My question is, how common are these? Anybody have an idea on how many of these were made? I can't find another one for sale anywhere on the net and the KBB doesn't even list it in their selections for value. I'm gonna do a search and some browsing here and see what I can come up with as well but thought I would ask you guys and see what you thought.

Thx.

 

Check NADA for pricing, it may have it listed.

 

It is probably a 2500 i dont know that i have ever seen a 1500 OBS crew cab. any pictures or anything of it?

 

I have a 98 chevy extended cab silverado Z71 off road, and i think that's it when it comes to the 98 models. It's not a true "crew cab" bc it only has 3 doors. This was some sort of safety idea GM had for the K1500 pick-ups. I think only 99 and newer have a true 4 door crew cab. I will say in good measure that you could fit two car seats in there, but your front two seats depending on how the car seat is facing ( front facing or rear facing ) I've had both in my truck. Booster car seats fit great for kids 2 and up, but the rear facing ones for infants require you to move the seats up, and if your a driver with long legs it'll leave you cramped. Just my expierence

 

VIN shows up on carfax as a 98 1500 and it does have four doors. I'll get a few pics this weekend when I go take it for a drive. I can't find another one anywhere I look so???

 

Is it an extended cab?

 

Not an extended cab, its a true four door crew cab. Has leather interior with power everything, fold down armrest in rear, etc. Loaded.

 

never heard of an 88-99 body style 1500 crew cab. there were 2500 models that were crews in the later years but there werent many.

somebody could have custom made it maybe.

 

I'm intrigued, Is it a shortbox? I'm excited to see these pictures now. I've never seen a half ton crew cab in that body style either

 

I'll post some pics later tonight or this weekend. Going to try and take it for a test drive later this afternoon or tomorrow.
