Classic GMC Sierra Grande 15 Hundred! 

This was the top of the line for the 1/2 ton pickups of GMC back in 1973.

 

 Detailed Model Information

General Motors' Chevrolet and GMC,C/K-Series pickups d?buted in 1972 for the 1973.  Development of the new third-generation trucks began in 1968, four years prior to production in 1972, with vehicle components undergoing simulated testing on computers, before the first prototype pickups were even built for real world testing. The redesign was revolutionary in appearance at the time, particularly the cab, departing from typical American pickup truck designs of the era. Aside from being near twins, the Chevrolet and GMC pickups looked like nothing else on the road. As a result, the third-generation trucks are officially known as the "Rounded-Line" generation. Some people may refer to them as "square bodies", given that the trucks appear square-like when compared to more modern automotive design standards.

GM's design engineers fashioned the "Rounded-Line" exterior in an effort to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, using wind tunnel technology to help them sculpt the body. Third-generation design traits include "double-wall" construction, sleek sculpted body work, flared secondary beltline and an aerodynamic cab which featured rounded doors cutting high into the roof and steeply raked windshield featuring an available hidden radio antenna embedded into the glass.

 

The Rounded-Line generation ultimately ran for a lengthy 15 model years (1973–1987). This was the first year. 

 

Detailed Condition Information

 

Engine and Transmission:  The vehicle has plenty of power and the noise of the 350 gives it some swagger.  The transmission shifts as it should and was recently rebuilt.  Odometer works and it reads as, "24901".  I am assuming that its actually 124,901 but that is merely an assumption.

Body:  The Body is only in fair shape but appears to be the original color.  It may have been a two tone with a white band down the sides which could be restored in that way.  There is bubbles and rust in several areas of quarter panels and along the bottom of the sheet metal.  This could be cut out and restored, roughed up and painted over with some bondo or kept as is.  The original owner planned to rough up the paint and put on a glossy coat of black before selling.

Title:  The title is a clear State of Nevada Title.  I believe that the truck would be exempt from smog in California because of the year.

Brakes;  The brakes work fine.  No known leaks of any fluids.  Fluids have not needed to be filled up for many months.

Interior:  Interior is in fair condition and could use a good cleaning from the dust.

Glass:  Glass appears to be in good condition with no known problems.

A/C:  A/C is not hooked but the system is in place and can be restored.

Radio:  The radio works and it is an upgrade from the original.

Electrical.  Lights and heater work.

Tires are very good with only 500 miles on them.  Battery is brand new and I installed it yesterday as a gift to the winning bidder.

I am describing this vehicle to the best of my ability.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

2020 GMC Acadia refresh brings a new engine, AT4 trim level

Mon, Feb 18 2019

It's mid-cycle refresh time for the GMC Acadia, and the updated 2020 model kicks off its changes with a new face. It has a square-jawed grille seemingly pulled straight off the Sierra full-size pickup, and the size is amplified by the slender new LED headlights on either side. At the rear, the LED taillights are taller and more chiseled. A new AT4 trim level adds more visual distinction with black trim and wheels, plus all-terrain tires to make it a little more capable off road. The AT4 also boasts standard all-wheel drive. Under the revised skin, the Acadia hides one of two carryover engines, or a new turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4. This new engine makes 230 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque with the help of a twin-scroll turbocharger. To make it more frugal, it's able to deactivate two of its four cylinders. The turbo engine is standard issue on the SLT and Denali trim levels. The carryover engines include a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter 4-cylinder making 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque, and a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 making 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. The V6 is standard equipment on the AT4 trim. No matter the engine, all 2020 Acadias get a 9-speed automatic transmission. The new transmission also ditches the current Acadia's mechanical shift lever in favor of an electronic shifter with the Terrain's mix of buttons and triggers. It does free up space between the seats, but the button arrangement is still as strange as it was when we first saw it in the smaller crossover. There are a handful of other little upgrades to mention. The suspension has been revised for greater comfort; the infotainment has been revised with a bigger screen, USB-C inputs and customizable profiles; and wireless phone charging is now an option. The updated Acadia goes on sale this fall, and pricing will probably be announced close to launch.

Son surprises his dad by restoring his 1949 pickup for Christmas

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Norman Meal, an 83-year-old retired farmer from Rushville, IN, nearly missed his big Christmas gift when his son, Kyle, first presented it to him. Norman was oblivious and was looking all over the garage floor until Kyle pointed out a satin black pickup with a bow on it parked inside. This wasn't just another case of a child buying a parent a dream vehicle; the '49 GMC sitting there was Norman's very first truck that was restored and ready to drive. According to Fox 59 WXIN, Norman's father purchased the GMC in 1949, and Norman bought it from him in the mid '50s to use on the farm. However, for about the past 13 years, the truck had been rotting away in the garage of one of Kyle's friends. As a perfect gift to his dad, Kyle took the pickup to a restoration shop to make the old vehicle roadworthy again. Practically everything was replaced – except for the horn. Thankfully, Kyle filmed his dad's reaction to getting the GMC. Check it out and watch them take a drive in the heartwarming video above.
