1998 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

quick off the start. runs great no problems at all. interior is nice still upgrading on some stuff. exterior also nice upgrading on things there too. gets great gas milage. 16 city/18hwy. i love to drive this truck good handling looks and sounds good

good truck all around, for a truck it was pretty fast, the interior was perfect, the exterior had some wear and tear, but normal for a ten year old truck, fun to drive, gas mileage was not the best in the world

This is my grandfather's RCSB C1500 (i.e., 2WD) W/T with the L35 Vortec 4300. He bought it secondhand out of a lease when it was six months old and has owned it since. Compared to my K1500 Cheyenne, it definitely feels more responsive, agile, and easy to drive due to it having a two foot shorter wheelbase. It feels like it gets up and goes just as easily as my truck, too, since it lacks the weight of 4WD system and extended cab. It's quite basic (power nothing, vinyl floor, but does have the 4L60-E automatic), which is the way a true work truck should be. All my truck has on it is cruise control and carpet, though! To my knowledge it's never had any major work done, which is no surprise. Hopefully we'll still have this truck around for years to come!

I have a 98 chevy pickup with a 350 vortec motor and a five speed manual transmission. This old gal has 219,995 miles on it and is still running strong the transmission was changed at almost 100,000 and the new transmission is starting to crap out on me but I cant complain because this one has lasted longer than the first one and the engine still runs like new the only thing I dont like about the 350 motor is the gas mileage on average i get about 18 to 20 depending on how hard i drive it. I would recommend this truck to anyone that wants a little get up and go in their truck. It is one of the most fun trucks I have ever drove

Not an Extended and the 2 wheel drive is not very good unless you have some very aggressive tires on it along with a couple hundred pounds of weight in the box, Its Great on gas and the 4.3 Liter V6 is a very Proven and reliable Motor

Rides like a car, alright performance for the 5.7 Vortec, I really like the posi and the Vanworks trim package thats on it. They could of built it a bit better, bolt on the door hinges instead of gluing them on and could of had it higher off the ground.

performance, k&n air intake, edelbrock manifold, 3 in exhaust, larger all terain tirs, spot lights, bigger gearing in front and rear diffs and trans and transfer case, build like a tank will get you outta anything and still fast enough for the track

Great truck and the 4x4 is amazing. Only problem so far is a random misfire code

this truck is awesome. it pulls great. runs awesome. with some smarts it will get in and out of anywhere. with a off usual paint colour it will turn heads. it is a very useable truck and awesome on gas. what more could you want for a single guy looking to enjoy an every day driver.

i grew up around chevys and in my opinion when it comes to balance of qaulity, performance and reliabily chevy trucks out do others, ive never had any major problems with chevys ive owned or chevys people i know own, definately 5 stars.

best truck ever lots performance looks good no rust the inside nice and clean very going to keep it for every and its z71 off road gets thou the snow very good and new tires gas mileage not that bad for a 5.7 v8

with plenty of power to get off of a stop light in a hurry and pull anything that i will put behind it, this truck is amazing. however the suspension is not strong enough to handle off road abuse. with that being said i absolutly adore the way this truck looks, even though it is a little on the ragged side of like it still has plenty of eye catching attributes. gas mileage is great for a truck with a small block, though parts can get pricy. as far as the fun factor, it does have a small block 5.7 vortech, so that right there says it all.

Cant beat this truck. The Vortec 350 is absoluteley amazing, and the 4l60e is a damn good trans. And it always sounds good with twin super 40 flomasters and a K&N Cold Air Kit. And you can jump this thing and not knopck off the alighnment.. Best Truck Ever

It is the Vortec 305 V8. Everything works so good it's scary sometimes.

I've had this for a couple months after going through alot of vehicles. I must say that it's very fun to drive. The only complaint that I have is the gas mileage but that's to be expected with a full size V8 powered vehicle.

I drove this vehicle when I was looking for my now 2002 Silverado. It was a nice truck, but it had some problems. I liked some of the interior features, but you could smell the exhaust when you turned on the air conditioner. It had adequate power for a large truck, but it was nothing special.

The frame is junk. Avoid at all costs. E

Really nice ride, fast, excellent handling. Love the exterior appearance and the looks inside are amazing. The gas mileage is really low, but that's what you get when you have a 5.7L v8 under the hood. And it's really fun to drive.

its awesome. Has good acceleration. Brakes are pretty good. just changed the rotors and brake pads. Nothin really worng with it. has some dings and scratches but its 12 years old. Wish gas was a lil better but its a truck. Its alot of fun to drive. I love having this truck.

From mud bogging to hauling ass down the back roads this truck got it done. Its seen it all and has been put through some rough times. The other work truck from my summer job.

i drive it everyday and i would drive it anywhere it pulls good it drives good and it has never let me down the only thing i dont like about it now is the age of the vehicle but other than that its awesome

Chevrolet trucks are well built trucks that are sometimes hard to get the right truck due to they sell as quick as they are put on a lot. Power is great for the 5.7 350 V-8 have always liked them.

The Truck is Awsome the 305 is the engine to have, 350 more of a gas hog.

5.0L EFI V-8. Last year of the classic Chevy boxy styling.

pretty good truck overall, does as it ages maintence cost goes up. pretty descent in all weather conditions. good commute vechile. if you want a truck to haul or play this could be your truck. enjoy the ride and have fun.

Performance- Obviously, being a '90s pickup with 305 cubic inches that ignite 235 horses/280 ft.-lbs., this truck isn't a rocket by any means. But it does have it's get-up-and-go, but the transmission is a bit hesitant. Handling obviously sucks. Tons of body roll, understeer, steering feel is NOT there at all, not too agile, there's play in the wheel. But, hey, this is a pickup and these were the days where they weren't Cadillacs. The braking itself is good, but the pedal is unbelievably mushy and it's beyond numb. Build Quality- Well, since I've beaten the hell out of this, I have broken stuff. Like two axles, distributor cap and rotor, power steering pump, and a wheel hub, but I also got it at 180K. Now it's at 200K. Original drivetrain including transmission. The interior obviously leaves much to be desired in terms of structure, fit-and-finish, ergonomics, and materials, but it's not absolute crap. It's held up very well. Other than those things I've mentioned, this baby's solid. Doors shut solidly, engine purrs, not many creaks and rattles, everything works normally--nothing's loose or seized. Appearance- The interior, though bland, isn't bad looking. It's just kinda there to hold the HVAC system and radio and to cover all the wires and good stuff like that. The exterior, however, is gorgeous. In my opinion. This bodystyle of the Chevy pickup is one of the best-looking. Simple, yet classy. This truck looks like it was made to work. Cost of Ownership- Gas mileage obviously isn't anything spectacular, but I do get better than the EPA figures. At least in the summer. I get 16.5 MPG or so combined, and in the winter, I get about 14 combined. It's rated at 12 City/17 Highway/14 combined. And I've gotten 21 MPG on the highway. But as I have broken a few parts from taking it offroading and getting the front end airborne, sending it through deep puddles at 30 MPH, and flooring it on occasion. But I'm willing to pay for it. The most expensive thing I've broken on here so far is probably the wheel hub (which wasn't really "broken", just the bearing was humming and ABS sensor was shot) which was about 120 bucks or so. I can't remember. But it had the ABS sensor in it which shoots up the price. Fun Factor- Obviously you can't take it to a track, but it is a lot of fun to take out on the trails, make it do donuts in the street and rainy roads, powersliding in the snow and locking right into the snow when the 4X4 is on. It's also fun when you're at the beach and you can chill out in the back of it.

it's a nice truck but needs work good for plowing and towing strong never fails when i need it, it always starts no matter what it's a fun truck to mess around in i want to lift it soon so i can have more fun

Strong reliable vehicle can haul more than an new models

A real great looking truck & its proved over & over again that trucks today arent the trucks they were then

Great truck. Evidently I have to have a longer review...I think the "one line summary" basically says it all...if you're looking for a good truck I'd definitely recommend a Chevy.
