1976 Gmc 3/4 Ton Royal Sierra Camper Special Real Survivor!!!! on 2040-cars
Chestertown, Maryland, United States

1976 GMC 3/4 Ton Royal Sierra Camper Special. I purchased this truck from the original owner 8 years ago. It has been garaged kept since I have had it and from the looks of it, most of its life prior. It is in very nice original condition. I replaced the hood when I got it with a used one and also replaced the hinges with factory GM hinges. The hood is Dupont Base Clear and an excellent finish inside and out. I had the transmission rebuilt by Deltrans in northern Delaware and it is awesome! We pulled the engine right away and replaced the timing chain, put a small RV cam in it, New push rods, roller tip rockers, oil pump and completely resealed it. I had the carburetor professionally done and it works great (choke is wired open and inop). It has Heartthrob 2 1/4 mandrel bent duel exhaust with turbo mufflers and it sound great. I replaced the power steering pump and both lines, fuel pump, water pump and put a Edelbrock performer intake on it. This truck runs fantastic. uses no oil and had great power. We put a factory posi (gov-lock) unit in the rear (from Gevo's Gears). I put 2 new E-Load-Rated tires on it when I got it and the rear tires are at least 80%. Has new front calipers, rotors, pads and brake lines on it. I replaced the rear springs with 8 leaf units as it had 10 leaf units on it which were very harsh. New shocks out back too. The bed has a wooden platform in it which I have never removed. The bed floor and tail gate I don't believe have ever seen water and are extremely nice and clean. The body: New hood and hinges. Rockers appear 100% solid. Windshield is perfect. The bottom of the front fenders have small holes and have been touched up prior to my owning it. The only other rust is behind the left rear tire and is smaller then a pencil eraser. The previous owner loved undercoat. Under the hood has plenty. Both inner fenders are rusty (visible in one of the pictures) and the left front inner fender has been patched for some reason. The radiator support is 100% solid as is the battery tray. The grill is perfect save for some paint loss, I do have a spare grill to go with the truck of the same year and earlier years if desired. The doors are 100% solid. The right door has a stress fracture at the top hinge requiring a little more effort to get closed but functions properly otherwise. All 4 wheels have been bead blasted and repainted in Imron 817 white. I put the camper mirrors on it and have the original ones which will go with the truck. The previous owner had apparently experimented with other mirrors evidenced by the screws in the doors at non-factory locations. Both front and rear bumpers are mildly bent but nice other wise. I have a new aftermarket chrome front bumper that can be purchased by the winner for what I paid if desired. Duel Tank Fuel system: I replaced the fuel sender in the driver side fuel tank and all the fuel hoses bypassing the "broken" selector valve. I have a new NOS GM selector valve and also a new fuel sender for the right tank. These go with the truck. Easy fix if you want to use both tanks, if not leave it like it is. Interior: the seat looks perfect but is showing its wear. It is splitting at the seams and has been stitch a little on the drivers side before I got it. An upholstery shop can save it as it is quite unique and original. The dash has one crack in it in the speaker area but is near perfect otherwise. The 70's carpet if really nice too! It has a tilt column in it which is tight as the day it was new and the column shifter feels like the day it was new also. The steering wheel has the grain still on it with almost no wear. The A/C works when charged but doesn't stay charged more than a day or so. Believe the compressor is leaking. The radio is not original but looks very similar and works. Towing: it has a class III hitch on it, a 7 pin round connector and a very nice brake controller. This truck tows like a dream when set up properly. This is a very nice survivor which has been mechanically updated professionally and properly. I would not hesitate to drive it to California. I do not need to sell it and would love to keep it, but am running out of garage room. Please ask questions before bidding. Additionally, I ask that you call me for other details or clarifications as well please don't call and waste your/my time if you cannot afford the truck or do not intend on buying it. I am setting the reserve at $5000, I paid 2500 for it 8 years ago and have done much to update and preserve this truck. I have never seen another one like it. Shipping: I will aid in having it loaded and handed off to a carrier, arranging shipping is up to you and they will need to communicate with me. You can drive it home with no issues!!!! Payment: I am requiring a NON-REFUNDABLE $500 PayPal deposit within 24 hours after the auction ends so make arrangements! The buyer will have 5 days to make the balance of payment unless we agree on different terms. The title is in my name and is clean/clear. I will FedEx it overnight once payment is made at the cost of the buyer. Please call me with questions and/or to arrange payment/pick-up Etc. If you have bad feedback or less then 50, call before you bid. I only speak English. This vehicle is located in Chestertown Maryland. Justin 443-480-2779 On Jun-30-14 at 03:01:29 PDT, seller added the following information: The drive shaft was professionally rebuilt with a new carrier bearing, all U-joints and balanced by Maryland Truck several years ago. On Jun-30-14 at 15:31:31 PDT, seller added the following information: The truck is a Long Bed (8 foot) which I thought was evident by the pictures. All 3/4 ton trucks were long beds unless you ordered a cab & chassis and built what you wanted. I have had 2 questions about the price. Here is the deal: this is an AUCTION and I am not ending the auction early. The reserve is $5000 which is stated in the description above. If you are the high bidder over $5000 then you are legally obligated to pay for it. It's just that simple. Again, under 50 feedback, please contact me if you intend to buy it. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. Happy Bidding, someone is going to get a very nice survivor!!!!! On Jun-30-14 at 17:35:49 PDT, seller added the following information: I also have a factory Tach Dash for this truck with a new tach lead wire that will be available to the buyer if they are interested in purchasing it and it will not be expensive. |

GM appears to repurpose Saturn Outlook parts on new Acadia
Thu, 09 Feb 2012General Motors unveiled the company's refreshed GMC Acadia at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show yesterday, and if you were paying attention, you may have noticed something curious about the vehicle. While the new Acadia looks considerably better than its predecessor, a few components of the design looked more than a little familiar. Upon closer observation, it appears that GM has simply repurposed elements of the now defunct Saturn Outlook crossover on the 2013 Acadia. Both vehicles seem to share the same wrap-around rear glass, back hatch, tail light openings and exaggerated, squared-off fender arches.
While the vehicles are differentiated by badging, tail lamps and a rear valance, there's no denying the similarities toward the vehicle's rear. Up front, both share similar fenders, though adjustments have been made for the varying headlight designs.
That's good news if you just can't imagine life without the Saturn Outlook.
GMC shows how the 2022 Hummer could have looked even more futuristic
Fri, Oct 23 2020Excitement filled the room when GMC asked its designers to resurrect the Hummer in April 2019, but a tinge of uneasiness permeated the department after executives locked in an early 2020 unveiling date. Luckily, stylists knew what they wanted early on in the development phase, and preliminary design sketches give us a fascinating look at how they shaped the electric off-roader that ended up making its global debut online in October 2020. Hummer, the brand, unceremoniously shut down in 2010 after General Motors failed to sell it to the Chinese, but its design DNA was so strong that stylists were able to pick up where their predecessors left off. All of the sketches published on Instagram by the official General Motors Design account show a boxy truck with a tall front end, a short windshield, and a generous amount of ground clearance. These styling cues trace their roots to the AM General Humvee that entered production in 1984 and made its combat debut when the United States invaded Panama in 1989. Even the wildest drawings still depict a pickup that's immediately recognizable as a Hummer. Most of the early design sketches wear some variation of the seven-slot grille that characterized Hummer's production models; it's a styling cue that hints at a heritage shared with Jeep under the American Motors Corporation (AMC) umbrella. Oddly, none wear the round headlights seen on the H2, the H3, and the HX concept that nearly became the H4. Was GMC afraid that its Hummer would end up looking too much like a Jeep? And, at least one sketch shows a fold-down windshield, a feature that will not make it to the assembly line. Sketches never reach production without modifications made in the name of packaging and safety concerns, and the Hummer is no exception, but stylists did a good job of reinventing the brand's design language without copying or erasing the past. If the company had stuck around long enough to make a second- and a third-generation H2, odds are it would look a lot like the GMC-branded model that will enter production in a year. GMC remains on track to start 2022 Hummer deliveries in late 2021, though it told Green Car Reports that it still hasn't built a fully functional prototype yet. When it arrives, this outdoorsy pickup will land in a burgeoning segment of the truck market that numerous models (including the Rivian R1T and Ford's electric F-150) will also call home.
GMC Sierra Elevation Edition is a dark take on a tough truck
Wed, Sep 23 2015GMC proved that it knew how to make a mean-looking pickup with the 2015 Sierra Elevation Edition. For the 2016 model year, the company is applying that aggressiveness to the refreshed Sierra that already looks tougher than the predecessor. The result is a seriously brawny truck that hits the market in the first quarter of 2016. Still based on the Sierra Double Cab, this latest take on the Elevation Edition starts with all of the styling tweaks for the standard 2016 truck, including a reshaped grille and headlights. From there, the pickup gets monochromatic with body-color parts for the door handles, mirror caps, grille surround, and bumpers. Black, 20-inch wheels finish the aggressive aesthetic. Drivers get an interior packed with tech, complete with a six-speaker stereo and seven-inch infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. All the occupants can also stay connected anywhere with OnStar 4G LTE and a WiFi hotspot. Under the hood, the Elevation Edition comes standard with a 4.3-liter V6 making 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. A 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower is also optional. Regardless of the powerplant, both come with a locking rear differential and the choice of two- or four-wheel drive. Check out the video below for a closer look at last year's truck, then scroll just a little bit further for the complete press release from GMC.

The Elevation Edition – available on Sierra double cab – has a street-smart stance, thanks to body-color moldings, door handles, mirror caps and a body-color grille surround, as well as body-color bumpers. It also rolls on 20-inch black-painted aluminum wheels and is further enhanced with new Elevation Edition badging. "The Sierra Elevation Edition offers a boldly styled pickup for customers who want a truck that looks as good as it performs," said Duncan Aldred, U.S. vice president, Buick and GMC.
