The truck itself was listed in a single body configuration, the two-door conventional cab and chassis, ordered as C7H042 or C7H064.

Known issues on the 1998 C7500 Topkick. This model year carries a clean federal record, with no recalls against it and no owner complaints logged with NHTSA. The manual is left to do ordinary shop work, and there is a fair amount of it with four engines to account for. Each of the two turbocharged diesels and each of the two gasoline V8s gets its own procedures, specifications and torque values, with wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the cab and chassis they were fitted to.
