What you're looking at
This is a 1996 Chevrolet K3500 crew cab dually — a 4x4 one-ton from the back half of GM's OBS ("old body style") run — and it's been converted into exactly the truck diesel people argue about owning. Under the hood is a 5.9-liter Cummins built around a mechanical P-pump and the 24-valve head, the fueling-friendly, electronics-light setup that swappers specifically chase, paired with a 5-speed manual. It rides on 35-inch tires and, importantly, wears its original burgundy paint with a matching burgundy interior, so this isn't a tarted-up project hiding bodywork — it's a clean square-dually that happens to have the right heart transplant.
Why it matters
OBS Chevy crew cabs have quietly become some of the most coveted trucks of their era, and a four-door, four-wheel-drive dually is the configuration people actually want. Drop a P-pump 24V Cummins and a manual into one and you've built something that's genuinely hard to buy finished: a torque-rich, simple-to-tune diesel in a body style that keeps climbing. A bone-stock 1996 K3500 books in the low single-digit thousands, but that number means nothing here — the value is entirely in this combination, and Hodson Motors' own paperwork puts the truck at $35,000.
The fine print worth knowing
This is the 2nd-chance run of the K3500 giveaway. Per the official rules, the entry window is June 19-26, 2026, with the winner drawn July 10, 2026 at 3:00 PM PST. The grand prize is the truck plus $10,000 cash (handy, because the winner owns the income-tax bill on a ~$45,000 prize). The standard route is 1 entry per $5 of merchandise, with bonus entries on digital artwork and monthly subscriptions. Crucially, there's a free mail-in route: send a handwritten postcard to Hodson Motors, PO Box 750399, Las Vegas, NV 89136 — one per household per day, received by July 7, 2026. Eligibility is the U.S. (all 50 states) and Canada, 18+, valid driver's license. One caveat on the value: the truck's $35,000 figure is the sponsor's declared ARV, not a matched auction comp. A cash-only alternative of $35,000 is offered to Canadian winners; there is no general cash alternative for U.S. winners.

Why It's Special
An OBS (1988-2000) 4th-gen Chevy one-ton crew cab dually 4x4 is already a sought-after body style; this one pairs original burgundy paint with the diesel-enthusiast holy grail — a mechanical P-pump 24-valve 5.9 Cummins backed by a 5-speed manual. The P-pump 24V is a fueling-friendly, electronics-light combination that swappers specifically hunt for, making a clean, finished example like this hard to find on the open market.
Our value estimate
$35,000
The official rules declare an Approximate Retail Value of $45,000 USD for the full grand prize, itemized as $35,000 for the 1996 K3500 and $10,000 in cash. I'm anchoring the truck's standalone value at $35,000. That figure is defensible: a stock 1996 K3500 crew cab dually books low (KBB shows resale around $3,600; Edmunds tops out near $5,300 for a clean stock truck), but those numbers are irrelevant here — the value is in the build. Finished OBS Cummins-swap crew cabs with original paint and a manual trade well into the $30k-$45k range in the enthusiast market, so the sponsor's $35,000 truck-only valuation is reasonable. Note: I could not pull a single directly comparable 1996 K3500 P-pump-Cummins-swap sale (Classic.com 403'd; KBB/Edmunds only cover stock configurations), so the truck estimate leans on the declared ARV cross-checked against the general swap-build market rather than a matched comp.
Editorial estimate based on recent comparable sales — not an appraisal.
