Where is the crankshaft position sensor on a 1997 Chevrolet 1500 truck?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) on a 1997 Chevrolet 1500 truck is located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the bottom, usually behind (or slightly below) the harmonic balancer. It's often close to the bellhousing.

However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine (e.g., 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L, etc.). A repair manual specific to your truck's engine is your best resource for precise location and removal instructions. A quick online search for "[Your Engine Size] 1997 Chevy 1500 Crankshaft Position Sensor Location" should yield some helpful diagrams.
