Yes, it has "HD" aft of 3500 on the door. |

while the regular C/K trucks of this generation were named Sierra by GMC, these heavy duty versions were simply called C-3500HD |

By heavy duty you just meant the HD's right? Not the regular 3500's? |

yes just the HD's (which were only available as Chassis Cabs) here is some info from Wiki: In 1991, GM introduced (under the Chevrolet and GMC nameplates) a truck that bridged the gap between pickups and medium duty trucks, the C3500HD. The C3500HD was a 15,000 pound GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) truck that was later replaced with the 4500 series. The C3500HD was only offered as a commercial chassis cab. The C3500HD came with regular cab as the only cab option until 1996, when the crew cab was also offered, it is not clear if the crew cab could only be ordered for fleets only, or if all consumers could order it as well. The extended cab was never offered on the C3500HD. All cabs came standard with upper marker/clearance lights. All but the most deluxe cab options were offered in the C3500HD, as well as all paint colors. C-3500 HDs are easily identified by the plastic filler below the grille : Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" -- Last edit: 2010-09-18 03:29:19 |

Don't forget the gray wheel well trim as well to cover the lift of the front suspension that shows off the engine bay -- Last edit: 2010-09-18 03:55:17 |

So they were introduced in 1991 as 1992 models? I'm asking since this one is listed as a 1992. If that's the case then this particular one would be a 1992-1993 model due to the front end. |

yes they were introduced in late 1991 as a 1992 my |

tonka, I have to correct you and say that the C-3500 HD models were introduced for the 1991 model year. Just take a look here: |
