Exactly what is a Chev 1500HD
Is it a stock 2500 with a 1500 body, or is there more to it than that?

It the same truck as a 2500 not to be confused with the 2500 hd.
This is correct///////
I have a 2002 1500 HD which is a 25oo non hd markings, they only come crew cab, 6 1/2' bed, 6.0 engine, 4l80e transmission, and 3;73 or 4;10 rear end
The 2500 hd of the same years was only available with 8' bed and had the body lift kit;
They are great towing vehicles but don't get much MPG and need an acre to turn the around.
I had an '02 2500HD. It was an Extended Cab, and it didn't have a body lift, and it had a short bed on it. My fuel economy (8mpg) was bad because I had a MagaCharger on it, with 4.10 rearend, and running on 35s. I wasn't easy on the that right pedal down there either. As far as turning, it was no different than any other similarly speced truck.
