Description
This 1988 Chevrolet R30 began as a chassis-cab truck and was modified as a “Hot-Shot” fifth-wheel hauler by Cabriolet. It was sold new by North County Motors in Paso Robles, California, and was purchased by the selling dealer on BaT in February 2026 . Power is provided by a 7.4-liter V8 linked to a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission and a dually rear axle. The exterior was repainted white under prior ownership, and multi-color stripes were applied in preparation for the sale. Equipment includes a gooseneck fifth-wheel hitch, diamond-plate bed flooring, three fuel tanks, and under-bed storage lockers. Inside, tan and brown upholstery covers the front bucket seats and the rear bench that converts to a sleeping area, and other cab appointments include air conditioning, an overhead console, an aftermarket stereo, a satellite-radio receiver, a Garmin navigation system, and power windows and locks. This R/V-series Chevrolet hauler conversion now shows 56k miles and is offered by the selling dealer in New York at no reserve with original sales documents, partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Tennessee title. The “Hot-Shot” conversion involved fitting the truck with a rear cabin area as well as a utility bed outfitted with a gooseneck fifth-wheel hitch, diamond-plate flooring, side rails, and under-bed storage lockers. Additional details include a chrome grille and front bumper, towing mirrors, clearance lights, an air horn, rear passenger grab handles, and three fuel tanks. The truck was refinished in white in 2024, the bed area and tool compartments were repainted under prior ownership in 2026, and a multi-color stripe kit was applied in preparation for the sale.
