Why exactly did you sell your 98?? I looked at it many times and thought about coming to see it - but it was too far of a trip.

The grail is technically a 98 QC 12valve 5 speed. Not the automatics. And in my opinion it has to be a long bed.

Seems like every one I run across is an auto with the small pump, or is a shortbed, or doesn't have the rear doors.

And what is rare about a 99 24valve???? they are everywhere. And if CC means crew cab, that was never made factory.
i agree! the longbeds look sweet! my favorite are the tan ones!

When talking about 2nd gens CC=Club Cab. There were less 99 CC's made then 98 QC.

I really want to finish my 76 megacrew swap and the truck was just getting old, I have truck ADD, so I just sold it.

I can tell you that I have personally seen 6 clunker CTD's, all nice trucks, at the dealerships.
  • 1996 2500 5spd 137k 4x4
  • 1997 3500 dually 239k 4x2
  • 1994 2500 reg cab 241k 4x4
  • 1991.5 D250 reg cab 172K 4x2
  • 1992 D250 reg cab 208k 4x2
  • 1993 D250 ext cab 5spd 89k 4x2, saved by me.

Just a shame.
No chance of saving any of the others??

I live in Hesston, which is sort of a faraway suburb, I guess! You found a nice pickup. At least it didn't go to the crusher.

Yes, I love that combo.
cinnamon/gold.

We had the exact truck just not as shiny, and i LOVE spice interiors.



Nice truck man, Can't wait to see what you do with it
