Re: Post Your Ride 88-98 Trucks

I still have this`92 K3500.I ordered it when they came out with the 6.5TD.I got all the bells`n`whistles except posi(went with a locker).It`s a 5spd(ok,didn`t want the auto optioneither)/bucket seat/tach/camper/towing/off road pkg truck.I wanted the light biege interior,but they stopped offering the metallic gold I ran on my company trucks at the time.Everything else was spec`d and I hit this hurdle.The salesman flipped past a page with a 1/2 dozen colors and I asked to see those."I like that green,it`s classic".Well,you need a fleet account to order fleet colors(never change from year to year).This color is the same color all the way back,Woodland Green.Fleet accounts have to order a minimum of 10 trucks to get these colors.I asked what happens when an employee totals one of the trucks,the company has to order 10 to replace it?I had him check with GMC and they said I could have it if I waited for another order for that color.So,I ordered the truck in January and it was delivered in June.I gaurantee this is a one of a kind truck.The 6.5 was a late,92 1/2 option,listed as`93 for replacement parts.I doubt any fleet accounts would order SLE packages with all the options and not too many top-of-the-line trucks with a 5spd.Also,not many companies were springing for the diesel option back then.It`s got to be the only`92 Woodland Green SRW K3500 SLE 5spd 6.5TD which was only offered at the end of the model year.Not that that impresses anyone.
