Have a loader drop a bucket full of 3in rock in the bed and you will be OK for the next decade. The first dents hurt the most.
This.
If the other side of the cab looks as good as that side, it's a $3K truck easy. That's what my 5'X10' utility trailer is for, I can beat that steel diamond plate in it with just about anything!
Haha, Lets just say I got it for a good price, but bought it not running. I forget what it needed, but it was mostly battery cables and stuff. It's a '97 C2500 8600 GVWR, with the god-aweful Vortec 350, 4l80e, and I've since swapped the rear for a 4.10 full floater. Hummer H2 17" wheels and 265/70/17 tires. Has 355k on the chassis, no idea how many miles on the motor. Since we're in GA, no rust
She's a good cheap work truck, except after 10k miles it's no longer running.....again. After JUST doing lower intake gaskets, I'm throwing in the towel on the engine. I can't justify putting any more money into this engine. I'm convinced it's either a cam/crank sensor issue, or an engine harness issue, but I can't bring myself to put another dime into it that I'm not 200% positive I can get back out of it. For such an incredibly heavy truck, the 350 just isn't enough power anyways when trying to tow a heavy trailer, so I'm investigating yet another motor swap. Every [censored] vehicle I own is going to be swapped shortly!
