Hello everyone you are looking at a very hard to find original truck, this truck has been well kept and has original paperwork along with maintenance records.The history of this truck goes as follows. The original owner was a Sammy Gholson who lived in Tucumcari New Mexico. He mainly used the truck for recreational purposes, the truck had a tow bar in front when I purchased it .he would haul the truck up to the mountains for hunting. The truck has the oldschool paper records that were kept in a small plastic slot the most milage recorded on those is 9,000. The truck also has an old Goodwrench dealer sticker on the inside of windshield when I purchased the truck it had 43,000 original miles on it, the service sticker was due at 44,000. Some of the original paper work includes a registration from 1977, Fuel economy booklet ,owners manual ,service parts identification sticker, and a installation manual for the Edelbrock intake that was added in the 80s. This truck was originally a 2 barrel carb setup which was upgraded with a quadjet. Sticker on the radiator support calls for a 2 barrel carb. if you look closely at the engine compartment you will see the fire wall still has its original factory chalk marks. So with all that said Don't miss out on the chance of owning a good restoreable original convertible classic.

Engine
This engine has the matching serial number to vin has all original parts except for the intake, and carb. I have used the truck regularly and have maintained the oil and installed new intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and thermostat.

Transmission 
Serial numbers also match the vin automatic transmission turbo 350 full time four wheel drive.Transmission shifts smooth

Electrical Components
All Lighting is fully functional brakes,turn signals running lights high/low beams and cluster lighting. radio not working I've never really bothered with it. cig lighter is good. Air Conditioning fully functional, heater works. ALL gauges are also working and marking as they should.

Rust/Body
Yes like most all these old trucks it has rust, The rear lower corner behind wheel has rust,front passenger fender has rust, and tail gate has some rust behind the lower trim. Beyond that the floors are solid and wont be a hard restoration if thats what you plan on doing. The body of the truck is not perfect and has been painted once before and will need body work has very small dents and scratches paint is faded and peeling. As far as I can see this truck has never been in any major wreck the frame also has the matching vin number stamped on top rail on driver side engine compartment.

Interior
The truck has the original front seats the driver was badly worn and the passenger was also a bit worn. Rear seat was missing and I was lucky enough to find one at a local junkyard. I wrapped the seats with Mexican blankets because the vinyl would get too hot in the summer to sit on. Front seat portion of the truck has original rubber mat the rear was recently installed.

Suspension/wheels
The Jimmy rides on a factory setup and has not to my knowledge been altered in any way, rides and drives real smooth on the freeway. The power steering works excellent, brakes working properly. The truck sits on a set of wild country tires original 16 inch 6 lug steel wheels I also have the spare with an original tire

GM thinks Colorado and Canyon midsize trucks will lure crossover buyers

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

The invitation to come out and sample product at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, MI is rarely dull, and after spending this morning driving preproduction versions of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon all we can say is... under strict embargo. Sorry, America, we were as excited as many of you are to learn more about GM's new midsize truck range and take note of how they go down the road, but it's going to be September before we're allowed to share that with all of you. Here's to sweet suspense.
While we might not be able to talk about refinement or handling yet, we did find some of the product positioning and marketing statements from GMC and Chevy officials on hand at the program to be pretty interesting.
Of course, we all know that the literal competitive set for Canyon and Colorado is comprised of two comparatively ancient Japanese midsize trucks: the Toyota Tacoma (which currently owns this segment) and the Nissan Frontier. The Frontier's bones are as old as the 2005 model year, with 2009 marking the last time the truck was updated. The Taco was also launched in 2005, though it did see a freshening for 2012. The point remains that, in every facet from powertrain to dash plastics, the GM midsize truck twins are going to look positively space age by comparison when they hit the market for MY 2015.

Chevy Express, GMC Savanna reportedly ending production for 2025

Sat, Jul 2 2022

The oldest commercial vans on the market may only have a few years left, according to a report from Autoweek. The news outlet cited a "competitive analysis source" in saying that the Chevy Express and GMC Savanna commercial vans would be discontinued after the 2025 model year. They would then be replaced by a new electric van, likely Ultium-platform based, for the 2026 model year. We reached out to GM for comment, and this is the official statement sent to us: "We have said in the past that as part of GM’s larger EV acceleration plans that we will add two new vehicles to our commercial portfolio. The first is a full-sized battery electric cargo van and the second is a medium-duty truck that will put both Ultium and our Hydrotec hydrogen fuel cell technology to work. We have not disclosed timing, names or shared any other details, so any articles reporting more are purely speculative." The GM vans are mighty old, having been introduced for the 1996 model year. They've barely changed since then, having received just some facelifts and updated powertrains over the years. And with GM's electrification plans, we're not surprised that these vans will be on the way out. We do have some disagreement about the reported timeline for replacement, though. We suspect that the upcoming electric vans will overlap with the old vans for at least a year. The reason being that there are a lot of these vans on the road, and there are a lot of pieces of equipment that fit them. Box vans, buses and more have components that have been designed for the Express and Savanna. If you're a fleet that has invested in these components, you might not be ready to shift over to a whole new platform. So GM will probably want to give fleet buyers one last opportunity to replace any old vans before committing entirely to a new electric van platform. It will also be interesting to see what kind of market the GM electric vans enter. Ford already has its electric Transit on the way, and Stellantis will be launching the Ram ProMaster electric van next year. Those are both based on existing gas-powered vans. And GM itself has already delivered the first of its larger BrightDrop EV600 electric vans to FedEx. The coming GM vans will likely be new platforms, which could give them performance and range advantages, though the Ford and Stellantis vans will have the advantage of being compatible with equipment for the gas variants.
