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!

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

2018 GMC Yukon Denali gets a sculpted new grille

Wed, May 24 2017

More than half of all GMC Yukon and Yukon XL models sold wear top-level Denali trim. That's a profitable scenario for the automaker, so, perhaps above all else, GMC needs its premium Denali series of vehicles to continue to stand out in a line of trucks and SUVs at the dealership lot. Hence, chrome, and lots of it. But for 2018, GMC is blessing the behemoth Yukon Denali with an added dose of class with a new multi-dimensional grille. "The new grille, which is flanked by HID headlamps and LED Signature Lighting, advances the design legacy established with the very first Yukon Denali in 1999," said Matt Noone, director of Global GMC Exterior Design. In addition to a sophisticated new look, the grille adds customizable cooling capabilities to the Denali range. Active shutters open when additional cooling is needed, or close to reduce aerodynamic drag when the engine isn't too warm. Further increasing the efficiency of the big brutish 'ute is a new 10-speed automatic transmission. That's two extra gears over the 2017 Yukon Denali, leading to a numerically lower final drive to help save fuel at highway speeds. Inside, Mastique Ash wood trim differentiates the 2018 model from previous years. A 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine remains standard for 2018, as do blingy 20-inch wheels with 22 inchers optional.

GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
