How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
Again not mine, but I've always had an interest in odd or not typical trucks.
I searched some of the posts and found this was a one-year only?! I like that it appears to be original/low mileage/four speed/4wd too! Not usually my cup of tea, but nice to have... http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/3080191752.html

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
Standard Cab Dually's? I'm pretty sure they are not just single year, and I have seen several for sale up here in NY. The last one had 70-80k orig miles, was white, no rust and had AC, PW, PDL, TILT, and CC...so it was a fully loaded truck and they dropped the price twice on CL. Think it sold for somewhere in the realm of $3500-4500. West coast you don't really need a 4wd, especially in Reno, and without options...I'm not really banking that he'll end up with $4500 in his pocket, maybe $3000 if it is exactly as he says it is.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
If you want, I can go take a look at it for you, but as far as rarity, not at all. They're all over out here, in good shape. That does look like a nice pickup, though.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
No rarity in that truck, but in my opinion, two wheel drive single cab duallies are much cooler than the way more common crew cabs.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
a single cab dually is not rare.....but an 88-91 single cab square dually is much harder to find......

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
I dont think there is such thing as a rare square. maybe one is harder to find, but not rare. they made them for too long.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
Considering the 88 was the first year of the NBS trucks, the only way you could get a standard cab "square" body truck was if you bought a 4wd dually or a cab and chassis truck.
I would say that truck is pretty rare. |

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
if you had to make it, its not rare. its custom. thats like me saying my truck is rare because its got an aftermarket interior.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
thats extremely rare. 88 plus regular cab square bodies are very few and far between. mostly only cab and chassi, i have never seen an 88 standard wheelbase. in all my years lol
id like to see the title.. rare and desirable are two different things. its rare that i crap my pants, its not too often desirable. |

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
That looks like a solid truck, and doesn't look all beat to crap like most of them I've seen. I haven't seen a 4x4 like that around here in a long time. Even 2wd single cab duallys just don't seem very plentiful anymore, I think they've all been worked to death, maybe they aren't real rare but finding a decent one isn't easy.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
1988 they made both styles of single cab dually 4x4 pickups so It is the LAST year for a square body pickup truck. ALL others (square body anyway) that year (88) were cab/chassis, crew, blazers or suburbans.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
Might be "rare" for the 1988 model year but we built several million of them in the previous 15 years that were essentially the same....

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
Yep,pretty rare. Of all those above who have commented that it's not rare,how many '88 regular cab V3500 pickups have you seen in the last 24 years? And Reno sits close to the Sierra Nevada. I think 4wd would come in handy at times.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
i think the "rare" they are refering to is its an 88 when things were changing....how many single cab dually 4x4 did they make 88-91 ? got any idea keith ?

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
basing rarity off of the year seems silly when they made the truck for as long as they did. square bodies are the longest running body style of truck chevy ever made. to pay a premium for a square because someone is claiming it to be rare seems like a waste of money.

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
Claiming rarity off of the year is how they do it in the auto industry, however, beings that this was just a truck that made it out of the factory before they re tooled it does not necessarily make it more desirable to have and IMHO doesn't justify a premium price tag. I am sure many years down the road that this would be a more valuable truck then say a 87 single cab dually, and there would be a very small market for it....maybe......if you buy it make sure all the numbers match up and for God's sakes, keep it all stock!

Re: How rare are/is this truck? Reno CL not mine
I'd agree its less common. As far as rare squares there are a bunch....no pun intended... gentleman jims. Spirit of 76 beau James to name a few. Regarding this truck tho... I have an 88 square 1 ton reg cab reg frame length. It was a cab chassis truck. Has a dump bed on it now. Gasser 4spd man 4x2 and only 42000 original miles
