    Most dependable vehicle I've ever owned.

    Good, dependable truck. Tough as nails with a full blown V8 and even with an extensive list of problems, it started and drove every single time and has never died out on me. Final ODO reading before passing it on to someone else was 308K+ and was still running. Literally watched it drive away with some life still left in it. 1996 GMC Sierra C2500 SL- 5.7L Vortec V8- Regular Cab- 3/4 Ton Long Box

    Excellent People to work with! Great Deal

    I bought a 96 GMC Sierra SLE K2500 ext Cab 4x4 from them. Was a plow truck that developed a transmission issue before the sale. They priced the truck RIGHT and I couldn't pass on it. It was everything that Lynn and Bruce told me on the phone. Was a pleasure to meet both of you and I hope to be able to do business with you again!

    Runs great, can't tell it's 200,000 + miles

    It started on first try, & engine seemed fine. Power windows worked, not power lock(did it manually). Back bumper is dented, but it doesn't look like it will effect tow package. Bed liner is still in great condition. 2 or 3 stains in interior, will need winter tires, but seller told me chains come with the truck. The dvd has battery option, but only works when plugged into the lighter jack durin use. Not a 4x4 or I'd get it.
