Like I stated before there is plenty of room to work on the motor if needed because the parts are not all compacted together like a lot of vehicles these days. Also the driver side door is obviously used more than the passenger door so having to change the hinges is no big deal. This is not a major problem considering the truck is almost 20 years old. We have had to replace the hinges on the driver side door and have had to grease the latches on both doors. The only negative things about the 1998 Chevy C1500 we have experienced is the door latches and hinges. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who may be short on money and needing a vehicle to get them from A to B everyday with no worries. It may not be a showy vehicle but it is definitely a classic dependable vehicle you can pass down to your kids. Myself and my two grown boys can fit in the cab of the truck so there is also plenty of space. If you check the basics such as oil, water, transmission fluid, and brake fluid then you are good to go in this vehicle. There is not a lot of maintenance required. I also do not have to worry when I am out with my family in the truck because I know it will get us back home. There are no surprises like that with the 1998 Chevy C1500. One car we own that is a newer model has the battery under the back seat! We had to research to find out where it was at first. I love knowing parts are where they have been for many years. There is plenty of space under the hood and the parts are not compacted all together. I am no mechanic but I can pretty much figure out where every part is on the truck. My favorite features on the 1998 Chevy C1500 is the simplicity of the motor. If something does happen to this truck you can be guaranteed I will be looking for another one. No matter if it's a long ride or a short ride I do not worry about being stranded anywhere in this vehicle.

It is the oldest vehicle we own and the other 3 are broke down. I have owned many cars in my lifetime and I would have to say this is my favorite. We drive it around town all day in a southern state and even in the summer we have never had a problem with it overheating. This is a small issue for us considering the truck is almost 20 years old. The only small issues we have had is the door latches and pins wearing out.

They fit comfortably in the 1998 Chevy C1500. My boys are bigger in size and they have a hard time finding a vehicle they can fit comfortable in. It has been a tough truck and even though it is 8 cylinders I could not tell. We bought it cash and have owned it for 3 years with no major issues. The 1998 Chevy C1500 has been a very dependable truck for me and my family.
