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.

Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Fans of truck-based, light-duty vans can officially pour one out for the Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500, as General Motors has officially put its long-serving big/little rigs out to pasture. Things aren't quite as sad as they sound, though. The heavier-duty 2500 and 3500 vans will soldier on, in order to duke it out with the largest members of Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter families.
The move does seem to make a lot of sense. According to GM, customers only purchase the 1500-spec Chevrolet 23 percent of the time, while the GMC captures a mere 7 percent of the Savana family's sales. With numbers like that, it's no shock that GM thinks it can shift some of its buyers into its van family's more capable variants. "We knew we could move a lot of our 1500 customers into 2500-series territory," said GM's Joe Langhauser, the product manager for the company's full-size vans.
It's not just simple sales figures dictating the move, though. The 1500 line is taking up some valuable factory space that will be better spent on an eagerly anticipated new product.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.

GM crab walked the Hummer EV truck up and down Woodward this weekend

Mon, Aug 23 2021

Sometimes, manufacturers like to show off their fancy new wares at the Woodward Dream Cruise. It’s largely done through static showcases with big displays for the public to gawk at. However, GM did something a little different with its GMC Hummer EV truck this year. Instead of parking it at the Chevy and GM display area, it took to Woodward Avenue itself to show off the Hummer in pre-production form. Not only did GM drive the electric truck on the road in front of thousands, but it crab walked the whole way. This was our first time, and probably most of the publicÂ’s first time seeing the Hummer EV crab mode in person. Judging from the crowdÂ’s reaction (GM got its wish of everybody paying attention), folks are impressed, and maybe a bit confused at the HummerÂ’s sideways movements.  ItÂ’s a strange spectacle to see in person. At first, the truck appears as though itÂ’s sliding sideways on ice in a smooth, graceful slide. ThatÂ’s because even though the wheels are turned, the front of the truck is still pointing dead straight ahead. The GM employee behind the wheel of the prototype appeared to be moving forward at about 5-10 mph — it appears shockingly quick in person for the way this behemoth of a truck presents itself. The tech making it work is rather simple in concept. GM simply took existing rear-wheel steering technology, then amplified and modified it for this type of movement. Whereas most cars with rear-wheel steering max out at around 5 degrees of lock with the rear wheels, this Hummer can turn the wheels up to 10 degrees. Turn the wheel left or right in crab mode, and the Hummer moves diagonally down the street. If you use it for its intended purpose, crab mode is meant to help you navigate the Hummer through trails it might otherwise be too big to fit through using regular steering. In reality, we suspect most folks might use crab mode in the exact same fashion as GM did this past weekend: to impress people. And honestly, we canÂ’t blame them. It was a seriously cool sight to see. Crab mode in action: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
