For auction is a 1979 GMC K25 Royal Sierra 3/4 ton4x4 Pickup Truck. This is a very rare truck due to the Royal Sierra trim package. It is similar to the Chevy Bonanza package.
The truck has a 350 motor. It runs well. I don't know the actual miles on the truck or whether the engine is original. I assume it is a newer engine. I have put over $3,000 into it since purchased. I am selling it as I don't have room for any more trucks at my house. I am now focusing on my 1982 Chevy Crew Cab 4x4.
Anyhow, the truck has a 3" body lift. This is one of the few negatives. It would look nicer with a new suspension lift. This is left over from the previous owner and I haven't changed it over. The paint job is within the last two years. It is of fair quality. There is very little rust on the truck. I have included two pictures showing the only rust that I can find on the truck. One spot is in the drivers side of the cab and should probably be cut out. The other spot is behind the seat in the cab and is surface rust.
Recent work includes:
- Wiring gone through and fixed
- New ceramic headers put on
- Flowmaster exhaust added (quite loud)
- New alternator
- New battery
- New brake pads, rotors, etc. Brakes work great now.
Negatives include:
- Very minor rust as pictured
- Body lift
- Tires have little tread left
- Salvage title. The truck was probably in an accident at one point and was fixed up.
- VIN number indicates that truck was not originally a 4x4. It has been converted into a nice 4x4.
This is a nice, solid, clean truck. It will need very little work to getting it looking very nice. It runs well and is reliable. It is a very rare trim package. You will very rarely ever see another Royal Sierra anywhere.
Sold as is / where is. I will help with any shipping arrangements made. Reserve is pretty low and not close to what I have invested. However, I prefer to put more money into my crew cab project. Please feel free to message with any questions.

GMC Hummer EV's taillights cost thousands to replace
Fri, Oct 14 2022The GMC Hummer EV pickup hasn’t stopped raising eyebrows since GM pulled back the curtain on the behemoth in Spring 2021. ItÂ’s huge, not all that efficient, and unbelievably expensive, but now weÂ’re learning how much replacement parts cost for the new EV. The Drive dug up a post from the Hummer EV Facebook page that claimed a taillight replacement for the vehicle costs thousands to replace. General Motors confirmed pricing to the publication, quoting a one-side replacement cost of $3,045.48. That adds up to more than $6,000 to replace both, so we hope your insurance is solid if you own one. Why would a taillight housing cost that much? Part of the cost comes from the fact that GM couldnÂ’t parts-share its way through the design of a $100,000 flagship electric SUV, but most of the price comes from the complexity of the lights. The Hummer offers elaborate lighting sequences that require microchips and other components, all of which cost money. ThereÂ’s also the fact that the Hummer EV is too new for General Motors to take advantage of its usual economies of scale in mass-produced vehicles. General Motors recalled the Hummer EV earlier this year for issues with the taillights. Though the problem was software-related, GM had to replace the entire light units because the software controlling them was actually embedded in the lights. ItÂ’s true that there are very few vehicles that are tall and large enough to impact the HummerÂ’s taillights, but we hope the owners of those vehicles never have to file an insurance claim to replace one.

Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Fans of truck-based, light-duty vans can officially pour one out for the Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500, as General Motors has officially put its long-serving big/little rigs out to pasture. Things aren't quite as sad as they sound, though. The heavier-duty 2500 and 3500 vans will soldier on, in order to duke it out with the largest members of Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter families.
The move does seem to make a lot of sense. According to GM, customers only purchase the 1500-spec Chevrolet 23 percent of the time, while the GMC captures a mere 7 percent of the Savana family's sales. With numbers like that, it's no shock that GM thinks it can shift some of its buyers into its van family's more capable variants. "We knew we could move a lot of our 1500 customers into 2500-series territory," said GM's Joe Langhauser, the product manager for the company's full-size vans.
It's not just simple sales figures dictating the move, though. The 1500 line is taking up some valuable factory space that will be better spent on an eagerly anticipated new product.
2023 GMC Canyon with ZR2-style off-road suspension caught in spy photos
Wed, Jul 7 2021GMC appears to be testing its redesigned 2023 Canyon pickup with an updated suspension lifted from the ZR2 variant of its Colorado twin. This heavily camouflaged prototype packs what look like Multimatic's DSSV dampers disguised with a black vinyl wrap. Rumors have pointed to a GMC variant of the Colorado ZR2 since the midsize pickup adopted the AT4 branding for its off-road variant. GM appears to be ready to adopt the formula for GMC's more-upscale pickup as it has for the Silverado. The latter, which has now been officially confirmed, has been spied on the road with its own DSSV shocks disguised in the same fashion as those seen here. This prototype is riding high – even for an AT4 – and sports a set of knobby Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires. We can tell that this is a Canyon rather than another Colorado thanks to the GMC-style fog lamp design, which differs from the Colorado prototypes we've already seen testing. Like the Colorado, the redesigned Canyon is expected to be offered with just one engine: a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder lifted from the Silverado and Sierra pickups. Look for the Canyon to debut alongside its Chevy twin sometime in the next year or two as either a 2023 or 2024 model. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
