Vintage 1976 Gmc Chevrolet C15 Sierra Classic Standard Cab Pickup 5.7l Wood Bed on 2040-cars

Year:1976 Mileage:85243
Location:

VERY ORIGINAL 1976 GMC Pickup with original WOOD BED

I'm the second owner of this pickup and have owned it since 2005.

Garaged since 1976.

YES, ONLY 85,243 miles!!!!

The previous owner had it rustproofed in the 70's and used it only to tow his pontoon boat.  I've used it to tow our boat, motorcycles and pickup appliances and large items.

Very original.  However, non-original items are: air conditioning converted to R-134, for safety reasons I replaced the original driver side and passenger side lap seatbelts with new shoulder harness type belts, by-passed the original (non-repairable) cruise control with a new cruise control, the radiator is not the original brass unit (replacement is aluminum/plastic), replaced the headliner and reupholstered the seat. I have pictures of the original headliner and seat.

Meticulously maintained.  All regular maintenance up to date with full records since I owned it and some from previous owner.  Maintenance DUE mileages / dates included such as: Engine oil and filter, transmission fluid and filter, differential fluid, coolant, brake fluid, bearings packed, power steering fluid.

If you provide me an e-mail address I can send the maintenance log in Microsoft Word format.

Air conditioning is COLD and heat is HOT.

NO cracks in original dash.

Antenna in windshield.

In the last 20,000 miles the following have been replaced: Radiator, coolant hoses, thermostat, water pump, alternator, air conditioning compressor, air conditioning dryer, all air conditioning O-rings, U-joints, all belts, windshield washer pump, rear leaf springs, all 4 tires (6 years old / 10,000 miles), 6 year battery replaced in 2010, master cylinder, front rotors, front calipers, front brake pads, rear wheel cylinders, rear brake shoes, all brake hoses.

Although she gets looks and compliments everywhere she's a driver not a show truck.  We have used this truck only on fair weather days but we have USED this truck.  Although the paint has been touched up over the years it does have its fair share of nicks and scratches.  The worst scratches are just behind the fuel cap (picture included) and of course in the bed, but there are chips on the door edges, the hood, the tailgate....  There is still rustproofing dripping from the bottom of the doors and in the bed, underneath some of the undercoating is peeling off (see pictures).  I would call her 99% rust free with no rust holes in the body work.  The frame is 100% solid.  The wood bed is 100% solid. 

Mechanically this truck is in excellent condition with all maintenance up to date.  You can purchase knowing that nothing needs to be done to have a comfortable, cool, reliable and safe vintage classic truck.

I am selling since my wife purchased a Suburban and I can hardly justify having 2 truck sized vehicles.

Although she's been very reliable and maintenance is up to date (I probably don't need to say this), but NO WARRANTY is included or implied.  Acceptable condition of the truck is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer.....it is, after all a 38 year old vehicle.

A $500 deposit to be made by paypal within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction.

The balance of the auction in cash to be paid within 7 days.  If paid by cashiers check, check will clear before truck is shipped.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

I do have the truck listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells here.

Please feel free to call me with questions,

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

GMC SIerra Denali is ready to live the high life

Wed, 29 May 2013

Between the information for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country and the accidently leaked picture on GMC's consumer site, it didn't take much imagination to envision what the 2014 GMC Sierra Denali would be like. But here it is. Going on sale this fall, the 2014 Sierra Denali will continue to be the most luxurious pickup truck in the General Motors portfolio, while getting more power and technology than ever before.
Like previous models, the 2014 Sierra Denali stands out from lower Sierra models with a big cheese-grater chrome grille, 20-inch chrome wheels and body-color bumpers. Inside, the Denali gets plenty of leather with contrasting stitching, but this is where GMC really steps up from the Silverado High Country with real aluminum trim and a new customizable eight-inch driver display in the gauge cluster. Standard features will include heated and cooled front bucket seats, the Intellilink infotainment system with Bose audio, while the options list offers a Driver Alert Package (with forward collision alert and lane departure warning), a rear-seat entertainment system and a Z71 Off-Road Package.
As for power, the standard engine will be the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 with its 355 horsepower, and the optional engine will be the new 6.2-liter V8. Although official power figures for the bigger engine aren't in yet, GM is finally putting some estimates on paper expecting around 420 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque to go with a 12,000-pound towing capacity. The new Sierra Denali will be available in either two- or four-wheel drive. Scroll down for more details listed in the official press release.
