GMC Ext Cab – the extended cabin of the full-size K 1500 and C 1500 pickups: V8 engines from 5,735 to 6,500 cm³, unladen weights from 2,093 to 2,600 kg, length around 6,440 mm
The GMC pickups listed as Ext Cab belong to the full-size C/K range that General Motors' commercial-vehicle brand GMC built alongside Chevrolet. The extended cab, with extra storage space behind the front seats, complemented the standard-cab line from the late 1980s; the K 1500 designation stands for four-wheel drive and the range's first payload class.

The register lists here 6 versions with V8 engines from 5,735 to 6,500 cm³, unladen weights from 2,093 to 2,600 kg, gross weights from 2,812 to 3,265 kg, a length around 6,440 mm and widths from 1,930 to 2,020 mm.
GMC's and Chevrolet's full-size pickups shaped the North American pickup market for decades and competed directly with Ford's F-Series and the Dodge Ram; the Ext Cab widened the customer base to tradespeople and families needing extra interior space at full payload. Many examples remain in service in the construction and agricultural trades to this day, valued for their ruggedness and mechanically simple, easily repaired running gear.
On a used example, rust on the load bed, frame and door sills, the condition of the automatic transmission and transfer case on four-wheel-drive versions, wear on the V8's engine mounts and exhaust system, and the function of the additional rear seats count; spare parts run through the extensive GM network.
