1977 GMC K2500 SIERRA CLASSIC CUSTOM CAMPER PICKUP TRUCK


This low miles truck turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever it goes. Originally a western truck, this vehicle has spent most of its life in a dry climate (and its winters in the garage) and it shows. This classic GMC has been driven less than 4,000 miles per year on average since new (five-digit odometer shows (1)29,000 miles, having rolled over once; due to oversized tires, true miles are closer to 145,000; when speedometer shows 60 mph, true speed is 68 mph per GPS). Truck runs flawlessly -- I recently drove it 400 miles in one day and passed PA inspection as-is the next day (May 2014). Rebuilt Jasper Goodwrench 350 engine installed by top local certified shop in 2010. AC converted in 2013 and blows cold. 4WD and lock-out hubs work as they should. 


There is minor rust bubbling along the lower driver's door edge. Other than that, it’s hard to find any rust on this vehicle. Rhino lining in very good condition, and included locking diamond plate tool box added in 2010 looks nearly new. The truck is repainted in its original colors but a style that is more representative of 1980s GM’s than its original factory paint scheme, yet it retains a very classic look. Fiberglass step-in running boards painted to match. The exhaust has a nice throaty rumble to it without sounding at all obnoxious. Toyo tires have aggressive tread resulting in moderate road hum. Dual gas tanks, approx 19 gallons each. Runs best on 89-91 octane. 


Truck appears to have about a 2” lift. Amber running lights on top of cab, plus cab-operated spotlight (yes, it's legal). Dual gun rack in cab. Interior is clean and intact. Carpet is excellent. Factory tachometer. Factory cruise control is not hooked up. Typical heat cracks in dashboard but relatively minor (no holes). Indian blanket seat cover in nice shape and has not been removed in the 4 years I’ve owned the truck; original cloth seat cover underneath in unknown condition. Truck has not been smoked in -- ash tray looks new. New JVC stereo with remote and door speakers installed in 2013. Truck is "cold blooded" and needs about 3 minutes for the carburetor to warm up. This is a heavy-duty, heavy-weight, real-deal truck. It is a not a sport truck and it has not been abused or driven off road. The only material change that I've made to the body or cab is the installation of the wood trim steering wheel, which perfectly complements the interior. However the original steering wheel is included. Vehicle has original seat belts for three passengers, including two shoulder harnesses.


Truck is garaged in Carlisle, PA, the car show capital of the eastern US. I have greatly enjoyed this truck, I just have too many trucks and it's time to let this beauty go. The pictures say the rest. I am an eBay member for 14 years with 100% positive feedback. This is one of my personal vehicles -- I am not a dealer or broker.

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.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
