This is a nice find. Any GMT400 in good condition (I know - frame) and this is rare one. I have a soft spot for those 89-99 GM trucks.
I've ragged a couple half ton GMT 400s to death and they didn't die and had a couple more that were stellar. Like I said above, for reliability and capability they don't give up much of any to most newer models. And if it has a NV4500 you'll never worry about the trans. Bulletproof. I sold one of them once and had 3 guys lined up and a bidding war for it! I wasn't home. The losers helped the high bidder load it in his truck!
The 6.5 is cool but the mixed emotions about it here are appropriate for good reason. My take on them is you need to be a tinkerer/decent wrench to not hate the 6.5. Understand the issues and they give good service. Expect to put diesel in it and drive it for years without touching it is a pipe dream though
