This 1995 Chevrolet Kodiak C8500 is a used cab chassis truck — sometimes referred to as a cab and chassis — a purpose-built commercial vehicle platform in which the manufacturer supplies the cab, frame, and drivetrain, leaving the rear of the chassis open for a body or equipment to be fitted to suit a wide range of vocational and industrial applications. Chevrolet is one of the most recognised names in American commercial trucking, with a long history of producing heavy-duty trucks that have served construction, municipal, utility, and freight industries across North America.
This example has covered 323,666 miles and is offered as-is, priced at $14,500. The seller reports that it runs well and has received fresh paint on the frame, leaving the unit in clean, presentable condition.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3116 diesel engine rated at 250 horsepower, a mid-range inline six-cylinder unit that was widely used in vocational truck applications of this era and is well regarded for its durability and parts availability. Drive is transmitted through an Eaton-Fuller 8LL manual transmission, an eight-speed unit with a low-low range that provides a wide spread of gear ratios suited to heavy hauling and demanding terrain.
The chassis sits on a 240-inch wheelbase, with 168 inches measured from the cab to the rear axle — dimensions that provide a generous platform for mounting a variety of bodies. Suspension is by Hendrickson, a recognised name in heavy-duty axle and suspension systems. The truck carries a gross vehicle weight rating of 53,200 pounds, placing it firmly in the Class 8 segment of the heavy-duty market. A tool box is included with the unit.
