Frequently you will find that buyers of the Chevrolet K3500 are very excited about their new truck. The K3500 has held a place among the top of the K3500 line of truck for a long time. It is an important automobile, and the 1996 model is no different in that respect. The Chevrolet K3500 comes under the heading of cab & chassis models that are fun to drive.
Chevrolet K3500 Engine Specs
The restyled K3500 Base is equipped with a General Motors 5.7-liter 8-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 16 valves. The Vortec engine is paired with a New Venture 5-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
The 1996 K3500's traditional fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection style of design. The fuel tank holds 27.00 gallons.
The K3500 uses power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The truck uses torsion bar and leaf springs front and rear respectively.
Vehicle Statistics
The dimensions of the K3500 Base are 77.50 inches wide by 189.80 inches long. It sits a comfortable 75.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 111.00 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
