Two idiots hooking hitch to hitch

[Chevy1925]

yes you can, they made them in 2004 and 2005 I believe. Ive seen one in person, it was a white 2500 CCSB. (not 2500HD) It had the 03-04 style hood/grille.

I REALLY wanted to take a picture of it because ive argued with people who said it didnt exist (the 1500HD/2500 debate seems to flood every forum out there, and 99% of the talk about them is misinformation), but the driver was standing right next to the truck and I thought it would be weird if I pulled out my phone and took a picture haha.

GM alternated back and forth between calling them 1500HD and 2500 (no HD), depending on model year....thus the endless confusion about them.

I dont know why...

No shit, ive never seen or heard of them ever being able to be ordered that way. My uncle had a 04 1500hd ccsb though. It was a true 04 (build date was 02/04).

It's hard to believe in this day and age with the economy the way it is, unless your rich, that people beat on their vehicles like this. Playing tug-o-war with your truck is just so stupid and pointless. To bad both trucks didn't fall apart.

Interesting. I didnt know you could get a 1500 crew cab with a 6.5' bed?

You should learn something new everyday or your not living right...

But we all know what your intention was here, and it was not to try and learn...

Merry Christmas Ben...:hug:

That's funny.

The extended cab was called a 2500 and the crew cab was a 1500 HD. Same lighter chassis and suspension was the same on the two models.

Maybe the 2500 cc/sb I saw was a 2005. It had the 03-04 hood/grille, but in 2005, the half ton pickups got the 03-04 style grille/hood while the HD's got the newer grille with the raised hood. So maybe in 2005, the 2500 non-HD got the grille/hood from a 2005 half ton.

But it was definitely a 2500 non HD. I looked on both doors (thinking maybe someone put a new door on it or something, idk) and it was definitely a 2500 non-HD.

Like I said, I really wanted to take a picture, but didnt want to be creepy haha

When the 1500 HD came out I though it was so Chevy could advertise they had a 1/2 ton crew cab with a full size short bed, even though it was actually a 2500 non HD. My dad had one, I cant remember the year but it had the 6.0 liter gas. I think that was the only engine available.

correct, all of the 1500HD/2500LD trucks had a 6.0/4L80/NP246 (auto trac transfer case, if 4x4)/8-lug hubs, hydroboost HD brakes, the HD steering box, 9.25" front axle, and 9.5" 14-bolt semi-floater rear axle. 8600lbs GVWR.

The frame, as far as strength/structure, was somewhere in between a 1500 and 2500HD.
