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's fullsize SUVs boost highway mileage by nearly 10 percent

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

We met the redesigned 2015 versions of the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL at the 2013 LA Auto Show. Improved gas mileage numbers have been announced to go along with the improved exteriors and interiors, with city mileage improving by seven percent and highway mileage going up by nearly ten percent; you'll now get 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway.
The only applies to models with the 5.3-liter engine, though, not the premium Yukon Denali and Yukon XL Denali SUVs with the 6.2-liter motor. Still, the 5.3 gets you more power than previously, with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque underfoot, on top of the improved fuel economy numbers. The 6.2-liter sticks with official mpg ratings of 15 highway, 21 city. There's a brief press release below with words straight from the horse's mouth.

No carbon fiber was harmed in the making of new 2015 GMC Sierra Carbon Edition

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Carbon fiber is known for its properties of combining amazing strength with extremely low weight, and its frequent use in high performance vehicles gives the material a somewhat aggressive air. GMC is hoping to play on some of that mean reputation with its upcoming trio of Sierra Carbon Editions. However, despite their name, there's no actual carbon making its way onto these trucks (at least in the form of CF). Instead, the special edition is a graphics package with some extra equipment thrown in.
All three specials are based on the 2015 Sierra 1500 and can be ordered in two- or four-wheel drive configuration and with the standard 4.3-liter V6 or optional 5.3-liter V8. Things kick off with the standard Sierra Carbon Edition for $33,075, including destination, available only on the double cab body. Buyers get a black grille, carbon fiber decals on the hood and tailgate and body color trim for the door handles and mirror caps. The edition also adds keyless entry, a 110-volt outlet and LED cargo box lighting.
Buyers wanting just a touch more style can opt for the Carbon 20 Edition on the SLE double cab that gets the same exterior tweaks, plus 20-inch aluminum wheels, and retails for $38,275. Finally, there is the Carbon 22 Edition starting at $42,270 on the SLE in double- or crew cab models. It adds further black 22-inch wheels, tubular side steps, fog lights, keyless start, a universal home remote, dual-zone climate control and 110-volt outlet.

GMC Canyon will debut in Detroit

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

With the debut of the Chevrolet Colorado at November's Los Angeles Auto Show, perhaps it was only a matter of time before we saw the small truck's GMC counterpart. That time will be January, as we've received official confirmation that the GMC Canyon will be revived at next month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The news came in the latest issue of the Detroit Auto Show's newsletter, NAIAS Connect. The article hasn't been posted online quite yet, but it details the Canyon as one of the world production debuts slated for the show.
While we've heard rumors that the Canyon would arrive in Detroit, this is our first concrete bit of evidence. As we've detailed before, we expect the Canyon to be stylistically quite different than the Colorado, though the underpinnings will be shared. The teaser image we have above is currently our only look at the new truck. We'll hopefully have more details in the next few weeks as the GMC Canyon draws closer to its official debut.
