Up for Auction is an Original 1986 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4 3/4 ton pick up.

First and Foremost...This truck IS NOT RESTORED!!  IT IS ALL ORIGINAL except for the steering wheel.

The Story....

Originally a NEVADA State Truck...was brought to California in 1994 and was owned by the same owner for the last 20 years and used a extra truck for the home, dump runs etc.  When the clutch went out the truck was parked for the last few years.  I purchased the truck to make it my dump runner etc. but I recently had buddies get into jeeping so I am looking to find a CJ instead!

FACTORY OPTIONS:

Air conditioning, 4.10 gears with Posi-traction rear end, 4 speed tranny, ORIGNIAL PAINT (no secrets, no bondo)

I have done the following in the last few months:

Brand NEW LUK Clutch, pilot bearing, re-surfaced fly wheel, all new fluids in tranny and transfer case

Brand NEW Hydraulic brake system, new master cylinder, slave cylinder

Completely rebuilt factory Non-tilt Steering wheel

New idle sensor selenoid

The previos owner was smart when he parked it and drained, oil, fuel and water...So these systems have new fluids and are in complete working order!

Air conditioning is all intact (minus one vent in cab) and works, but does not blow cold.  Heater, defroster, and wipers all work.

 

WHAT IT NEEDS...

Tires...All four tires were slashed at the sidewall years ago...they have been patched for years to move around the previous owners property...THEY ARE NOT ROAD WORTHY.  They do completely hold air for months.  I was going to purchase tires but heres the deal....I don't want to spend money on tires if the next owner, wants a factory tire, a slightly upgraded size or if they want to lift it etc. 

The hood release handle is broken...it still works as it should it is just not mounted to the kick panel

No stereo

Dash is cracked

I removed the clutch safety switch because it didn't work, so stuck a 30 amp fuse as a relay and by passed it.  Works perfectly!

According to the previous owner the plugs and wires were replaced right before the clutch went out a few years ago.  They LOOK LIKE IT.  I did NOT replace them.

Rust:  Each cab corner has the beginning of paint bubble.  They metal is still very solid and all there, but there is the early stage of minor rust in these areas.  OTHERWISE There is NO RUST IN THE ENTIRE REST OF TRUCK. 

You will see the windshield is cracked in the pictures...THIS WILL BE REPLACED PRIOR TO SALE with a brand new Windshield!

This truck spent 20 of its thirty years in the suburbs of the San francisco Bay Area....NO SNOW, SALT and way inland from the coast.

 

Overall:

This truck runs like a top, shifts smooth and true and stops on a dime.  It drives straight as an arrow down the road.  ALL WINDOWS roll up and down perfectly, door locks work perfectly.

The body is straight with body flaws to be expected from a 30 year old 4x4.  The bed is in way above average condition, with minimal flaws.  The tailgate operates perfectly and is straight!

All this being said....It's a 30 year old bare bones 4x4 truck.  It will need some attention to above listed areas as well as a saturday afternoon doing belts etc. 

My reserve is extremely fair for such a truck.  Hard to find these that aren't all rust out and beat to hell.  I am a private party guy who is not selling to make a living, so your not gonna pay some inflated price if you were buying from dealer.

DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO BUY.  AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A RESTORED OR REFURBISHED TRUCK.  IT is driver quality.......

Pleas call or text with questions.  (925) 323-5747.  I have a 100 percent positive feedback on EBAY, and I intend on keeping that.  This truck has been described 100 percent accurately.

I would not plan on driving this truck across country..as it has minimal use in recent years and therefore its long distance reliablity is unknown.

If your a California Buyer...SMOG certification will be buyer responsiblity.  The truck is sold AS IS.

Good luck

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

Man on meth steals truck (and goat) from adult video store, police say

Thu, Jan 2 2020

A man who was allegedly high on methamphetamine carjacked a pickup truck with a sleeping passenger inside it and a goat in the bed, pistol-whipped the passenger and then led police on a low-speed chase before finally being caught on foot and arrested, police say. It began early on New Year’s Day outside an adult video store in Carthage, Missouri, which is near Joplin in the stateÂ’s southwestern corner. Reports say Brandon Wayne Kirby, a 40-year-old from Mannford, Oklahoma, stole the truck after the driver had gone inside the store but while the passenger was sleeping. When the passenger woke up, he saw a masked man driving and pointing a gun at his head. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Police say Kirby drove the GMC Sierra Heavy Duty Duramax diesel through parts of Missouri, Kansas and into Oklahoma, holding the passenger against his will. At some point, the passenger told police, Kirby ingested meth, pistol-whipped him and continued to threaten him with the gun. The passenger said Kirby eventually let him and his pet goat out on the side of the road in a rural area, which is when he was able to call 911. Police then called OnStar, which tracked down the stolen Sierra HD and slowed it down to around 15 mph. Police eventually used stop sticks to flatten the truckÂ’s tires in the city of Sand Springs and later had to nudge the truck into a ditch to end the low-speed vehicle chase. But Kirby at that point got out of the truck and fled on foot through the woods, dropping his mask and gun, which were both later recovered by police. Kirby was jailed and had charges listed as kidnapping, pointing a firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm. HeÂ’s reportedly wanted in another county in Oklahoma for burglary and has multiple felony convictions for assault, burglary and possession of a stolen vehicle, according to KTUL-TV in Tulsa. The passenger and goat were transported back to the Creek County SheriffÂ’s Office. The Sand Springs Police Department said on Facebook: “OK 2020, it only took you 4.5 hours to get weird. Let's slow down on the carjacking-goatnapping calls for the remainder of the year.” Related Video:

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:
