1971 GMC 2500 PICKUP

This truck underwent a body off frame restoration recently, and has only been driven 2951 miles since!

Keep in mind that the mileage will change, as I still drive it almost daily. This truck was equipped from the factory with Air Conditioning. The cab components are intact, missing the condenser, and compressor, Easy to put back to working order. We are up in the mountains, doesn't get too hot up here.

This is a 3/4 ton, 2 wheel drive, longbed pickup. Everything from front to back, inside and out has been replated, repainted, rebuilt, or replaced. Nothing was left untouched. The list of what has been done to it, is a very long list. But, I will try and summarize, to give you an idea.

Body; cab, bed, front end, suspension, both front and rear, gas tanks, engine, trans. etc. completely disassembled. The body was painted inside and out. Metallic green. Has the paint code sticker attached to the spec. sheet on the inside of the glovebox.

New:

Rubber body mounts, Rubber bed mounts, radiator, upholstery, all new Pro Comp gauges (full set) Sony CD player in dash, 2 stereo amps under the seat. 4 speakers in the doors, 2 each side. Suspension all gone through, ball joints, A-arm bushings, drag link, pitman arm, tie rods, springs (2" longer than factory to correct the front end droop) truck sits level! New brakes: Power booster, dual master cylinder, front disc rotors, calipers, pads, bearings, seals. Rear drums, shoes,  and hardware kits.  New weather stripping, new window rubber, new tinted glass (ALL) New window rubber, fuzzies, door glass, window regulators, wing windows, wing rubber, and latches.

Totally rebuilt small block Chevy 350. 30 over, RV cam, Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock 600 carb. vac secondaries, electric choke, Hedman headers, full length, HEI ignition. Rebuilt TH 400, with RV shift kit, and cooler.  Was a power steering truck, power box replaced with a manual box. Steers very easily, even when sitting still. Class IV 2" receiver hitch with trailer wiring, electric brake controller (dash mounted) New 8 lug alloy rims with new Michelin Radials LT 235/85/16 "E" load rating. over $2k in tires and wheels. Leaf spring rear suspension with air bags above the springs on both sides. Valves on a custom made bracket, locater near the license plate. Corvette style wooden/aluminum steering wheel.

All wiring replaced with a factory kit. New front to back, including lighting and engine harness. Full cab carpeting, recent visors, carpet, door panels, sill plates, seat upholstery, dash pad, glove box, gauges, stereo (nice system) seat belts. Stock gas tank was removed from inside the cab, and replaced with a 24 gallon tank. This tank is mounted under the bed, between the frame rails. Fills from inside the bed. Sprayed in bedliner also.

This truck starts, runs, shifts, steers, drives, and stops excellent. Everything works as it should. A lot of time was put in to lovingly restoring this GMC truck, and it is apparent. I don't think you could find a better one out there. Sure, you may find one with more "bling," but mechanically, this truck is it! Its been a California truck since new (as far as we know) and as such, it is a very dry, rust free truck.  This truck was painted almost 10 years ago, and stored inside while the rest of the build was going on. It was just recently machine polished, and hand waxed. Full detail was just done, inside and out.

In closing, if you want one of the nicest restored classic trucks out there, then you've come to the right place. New projects have got in the way, and it's time to make some money, and room. No disappointments, bid to win!! I will do my best to answer all questions, so please ask before you bid. Inspect BEFORE winning this auction. Thank You

Junkyard Gem: 1990 GMC S-15 Jimmy 4x4

Wed, Jan 1 2020

The General sold the GMC-badged version of the first-generation Chevy S-10 Blazer, known as the S-15 Jimmy or just the Jimmy, from the 1982 through 1994 model years. These trucks were based on the small S-10 pickup and sold well (until small trucks were forced to get bigger and less truck-like after the dawn of the Ford Explorer-inspired commuter-truck era), but they have become difficult to find in vehicle graveyards in our current century. Here's a '90 Jimmy 4x4 with red-primer paint job, found in a self-service yard on California's Central Coast last month. GMC shoppers could get the 1990 Jimmy as a rear-wheel-drive truck, but this one has the four-wheel-drive option that allowed Tahoe-bound skiers to skip the chain monkeys on the way to the slopes (the CHP, understanding that California drivers have a 95% mortality rate on snow or ice, requires chains or four-wheel-drive to get over Donner Pass when there's a hint of snow forecast). GM sold so many millions of small-block Chevrolet V8s that it made economic sense to use the same tooling to produce a V6 version. The result was this truck's 4.3-liter V6 that was three-quarters of the good old Chevy 350 (5.7-liter) V8 that powered so many Camaros, Chevelles and Impalas. The 4.3 didn't make smooth power, but it got the job done and held together quite well. This one was rated at 160 horsepower, good enough for the Jimmy 4x4's 3,512-pound curb weight. These days, though, used-truck shoppers insist on at least two tons of heft plus four doors. Some discount lot in Monterey or Salinas couldn't even get $999 for this truck, and so it ended up in the final stop before the cold steel jaws of the crusher. 1990 was the last model year for the two-door-only Jimmy; for 1991, the Jimmy came with a choice of two doors (for devil-may-care types) or four doors (for drop-the-kids-at-school types). I've always liked the look of the instrument panels on the early S-10s and its siblings; even though the designers had to work within strict budgetary limitations, they made the panels look interesting. This truck nearly made it to 170,000 miles before the end. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. So powerful with the 4.3 (the regular S-15 pickup still came with a 2.8-liter V6 as base equipment) that it could destroy a TV camera.

2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level

Fri, May 11 2018

When the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 half-ton pickup was revealed, it was shown in the ultra-deluxe Denali trim with its carbon fiber bed and trick tailgate. And thanks to spy shots, we've been able to see the more modest SLE a few months ago. Now we get to see it in the most plain work truck iteration thanks to the above photos. This Sierra doesn't appear to have any trim designation. The SLE we saw had a badge in the lower left of the tailgate, but none appear on this except "Sierra." This fits with the current trim scheme for the Sierra, which calls the basic one simply by its model name. In addition to less badging, this Sierra ditches most of the chrome found on other trim levels. The grille insert is plain black plastic, as are the fender vents, door handles and window trim. There aren't engine badges, either. Currently the only engines announced for the Sierra are the gasoline 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s and the diesel 3.0-liter six-cylinder. We would assume from the basic nature of this truck that it has the 5.3-liter V8. Nothing has been announced about a gasoline V6 for the new generation of Sierra and Silverado pickup trucks, despite a 4.3-liter V6 still being available on the 2018 model. Also, since this is a base Sierra, the bed is all steel and the tailgate is one big panel. Pricing still hasn't been revealed for the Sierra. But this and the other Sierra trims will go on sale in the fall, with pricing likely announced sometime in-between. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Editors’ Picks October 2022 | Electric trucks and some excellent SUVs

Wed, Nov 2 2022

This month sees a bevy of totally new or totally redesigned cars gain Editors’ Pick status. Important EVs like the F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer EV quickly jump into the list, and they do so with authority, as all our editors love these trucks. The Range Rover is always a superb experience, and this generation proves to be no different. Plus, the new generation of Kia Sportage continues to surprise and impress. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in October that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 GMC Hummer EV The Four-Wheel-Steer system lets the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup m View 17 Photos Quick take: The Hummer amazes as an electric supertruck with its wild acceleration, incredible off-road capability, luxuriousness and epic utility. It's far from a "green" eco-friendly vehicle, but that's not the point of this technological powerhouse. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Raptor R, Ram 1500 TRX Pros: Stupid quick, tons of tech, off-road capability in spades Cons: Not efficient, annoying in tight spaces, price From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I don't think I've driven a more ridiculous vehicle this year, but that's sort of the point with the Hummer. There's a great argument against this sort of EV in that it doesn't live up to being an efficient and planet-friendly vehicle, but hey, that's not the point. The Hummer EV is a supertruck and wild technological masterpiece for off-roading in the same way that a mid-engine supercar is to track performance. It's not meant to be the EV everybody drives to work and back (mostly because few can afford it), but it serves as a line in the sand of what can be done with electric off-road trucks. This pickup rules, and if you can afford one, you're going to love it." Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder — "This Hummer revival is a showcase of technology and capability on the part of GM, making it an absolute blast to drive and a joy to use.
