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 tells NHTSA pickup truck electronic glitch is 'inconsequential'
Wed, 26 Feb 2014
General Motors has been enduring some serious problems with recalls recently, and it is hoping to avoid launching another major safety campaign. 200,921 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups are under the microscope due to a rare problem with their instruments, an issue GM calls calls "inconsequential to motor vehicle safety." The Detroit-based automaker believes that the glitch is so minor that it has filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asking the government safety watchdog for permission to pass on recalling the vehicles.
The fault at issue can occasionally cause the instrument cluster to reset when drivers use the steering wheel controls to browse songs from an external media device connected to the truck's USB ports. If a song's title information exceeds 2,000 bytes, according to The Detroit News, then the instrument panel can reset, which in turn causes the gauges, shift position indicator and cruise control telltale to turn off briefly. When rebooting, other instrument panel lights may briefly illuminate without their functions actually being activated. GM claims that if this does happen, the instrument display lights go out for about 1.5 seconds and the bulb check lasts a further five seconds. However, this snafu has no actual affect on the truck's operation. The glitch is present in trucks built between January 29, 2013, and October 28, 2013.
Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance
Sun, May 13 2018I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive
2019 GMC Sierra revealed with CarbonPro bed and new diesel engine
Thu, Mar 1 2018It's only March, and it's already been one hell of a year for trucks. January's Detroit Auto Show saw the reveals of the 2019 Ram 1500, 2019 Ford Ranger and the 2019 Chevy Silverado. The Chicago Auto Show brought new versions of the Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Today, we finally got our first look at the Silverado's twin, the 2019 GMC Sierra. The truck features new styling, a new diesel engine and — on the Sierra Denali — a carbon fiber bed. As with every new full-size truck, the Sierra is larger than the outgoing model in almost every dimension, though exact dimensions haven't been revealed. For reference, though, the Chevy Silverado's bed is 7-inches wider than before. The new Sierra grille is more upright than before and features new C-shaped lighting. The Denali gets LED headlights, tail lights and fog lights. Both SLT and Denali trims get unique 22-inch wheels. As we saw in spy photos, the Sierra's interior is mostly just a copy of the Silverado's with some chrome accents sprinkled throughout. If you like the current truck interiors, you'll be pleased with the new model. Those hoping for a wholesale change will be left wanting. The big improvements inside include a full-color heads-up display, trailer hitch assist apps and cameras, and the rear-camera mirror found in models like the Chevy Traverse and Cadillac CT6. Safety and convenience features include a surround-view camera, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection and low-speed automatic braking. Like the Silverado, there's been a significant effort to cut weight in the new Sierra. The 2019 model loses as much as 360 pounds compared to the current truck. It uses aluminum for the doors, hood and tailgate. Steel is still used for the fenders, roof and standard cargo box. The Denali, however, gets the real surprise here. Available only on the top-tier trim, the bed box will be constructed of carbon fiber rather than steel, saving 62 pounds. Carbon fiber only replaces the steel inner panels and floor. GMC says the carbon fiber will also help scratch and corrosion resistance. SLT and Denali models also get a new MultiPro tailgate. This is unique to the Sierra and separate from the Silverado's power assist unit. A new feature that helps one get into and out of the bed using an assist handle. The tailgate step has a maximum weight capacity of 375 pounds. There multiple positions that allow customers to extend the bed, or drop the center vertically to gain easier access to the back.
