FS: 2003 GMC Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab 4x4 (Kent,CT)

Some affiliation, selling the "farm truck" from my job at Kent Falls Brewing Company. We're a small farm based brewery, and the farm work is on the side of growing some hops, and mostly small amounts of livestock, chickens, pigs, and ducks. It's not a typical hard worked every day used farm truck. It sits more than anything. Doesn't mean it doesn't have some issues, which is one reason we are selling it. Second is we don't need a 2500 pickup anymore for towing. The few times it's been used for that are almost non-existent now. We're planning to replace it with a 1500 at some point, but even now the Mercedes Sprinter van we have for deliveries can handle the very Intermittant towing.

2003 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLE Crew Cab

6.0L V8 - 4x4 - 149,000 miles.

Short bed, trailer hitch, trailer brake controller. 

This was the result of a safety inspection in June. I did just drive it 2 hours last week to go look at newer vans for the brewery to purchase and it was fine, other than some clunks in the suspension. Most notable other issue is there is what was described to me as a "short in the steering" column which will cause the battery to go dead. Previous employee / mechanic's choice to was to wire in a cheap Amazon battery cut off rather than chase it down. 

$6000 OBO

One last thing to note... I'm not the biggest fan of the shop we bring out vehicles to. Last week we took our 2015 Transit in for an obvious wheel bearing noise. They came back with a list of oil change (probably due or close), air filter, trans service, parking brake cable, front brakes, and rear brakes with no mention of the noise. Bosses approved the work (most at least) and then near the end of the day I ask how the van is to pick up. Oh, we found a bad right front wheel bearing and that's a safety concern so it won't be done today we don't recommend you taking it.

I'll go out and snap some shots today trying to see underneath.

No interest at all. I have taken a lot more pictures in the Google Photos album crawling underneath. I may still buy this myself... Price is open to offers.

Still up for grabs, I'm still considering buying it myself but I'd have to sell one of my other cars and I don't really want to do that right now. 

I'm not a potential buyer myself, but would note that I'm not finding a price. 

The first post says $6000 obo.

I am kind of confused because

-The truck looks really frickin rusty and the mechanic's analysis seems damning

-But asking $6k and dan0 is considering selling a car to buy it himself?

That  doesn't compute.  I know truck prices are strong lately but wow.

Well since it's my work that owns it, my buy price is less, plus it's a tough thing to price with the issues.

I mentioned in the post I don't trust that shop much. I crawled underneath, yes the front driveshaft it rusty, I kinda doubt that a driveshaft is going to rust through, haven't seen it happen myself. And it's a front driveshaft, so it's only going to be a factor in 4wd. 
 

Also underneath the cooler lines are wet, not to the point of dripping on the ground through. 
 

I'll toss in this picture of my current truck, I'd have to sell to buy this one. It a hell of a lot rustier than this GMC. 
 

Trucks are going for stupid money still but >$4k seems like a tough ask for one of these in this shape.

I put it on Facebook marketplace last night and somebody's coming from Boston to Connecticut to buy it most likely today and I have about 15 people waiting in the wings

Excellent / congrats / i never want to live in real rust country.

Sold at $4800
