The 1997 GMC C6500 (part of the TopKick lineup) is a medium-duty commercial truck known for its durability and versatility. It was available in various configurations, including cab and chassis, dump trucks, flatbeds, and even custom promotional or production vehicles.
The 1997 C6500 offered both diesel and gasoline engines:
– Caterpillar 3116 Diesel: A 6.6L inline-6 producing around 185 HP, commonly found in heavier-duty applications.
– GM 6.0L V8 Gas: A gasoline option producing between 200–225 HP.
– GM 7.4L (454 CID) V8 Gas: A larger gasoline engine option for higher power needs.
I grew tired of waiting for someone to do a conversion of some of these older trucks and so I’ve set out to add something older for the community.
