You are looking at a garage stored (when not being used) desert survivor. This truck has never been in a wreck. I bought this truck in 1980 from the original owner. Was purchased new in PHX and has been in AZ its whole life.The only body part that has been replaced is the right side fiberglass fender. A tire blowout took it out. It was replaced with a GM Fender. You read that right, the body is completely GM, not a P.O.S. that sat for 10 years and got restored out of a catalog with garbage parts. When it was repainted 10 years ago the front bumper was re-chromed, not replaced with tin junk. This truck even has the original tire jack and lug wrench. This truck has been maintained, not restored. Being that it is driven and does not sit much it is not perfect but VERY NICE. In 1998 the original engine (at 271k mi.) was replaced with a 1991 4-bolt 454 that was bored 30 and forged pistons were installed. Otherwise built stock. In 2008 the original transmission was replaced with a 4L80E. At that time I installed a GM throttle body injection system and ECM to go with the electronics in the trans. Yes, it does have the ALDL port for diagnostics. This is the classic beauty you want hauling your trailer Queen to the show.
The camper is a Tri-Glas industries camper. It has the bed kit with side box storage, custom cabinet with independent stereo, and a high-end "Fantastic" brand vent fan.
Here is a list of the toys on this truck:::

Tilt Wheel                                                                   L.E.D. Marker lights
Electronic Cruise--no transducer                                   Fog Lights
Dual gas tanks                                                            Aux radiator cooling fan for desert driving
Bench seat with fold down console                               Aux trans cooler and trans fluid temp gauge
Lighted Visor                                                              Sanden SD-10 A/C compressor
Dual Batteries                                                             Rear View mirror w/map lights
Behind the seat toolbox wired with 12volt                      Aluminized dual exhaust
150 watt power inverter--hardwired                              Dakota Digital Dash
Electronic Trailer brake controller                                 Full Length Split running boards
Power Door Locks w/2 remotes

I challenge you to find a nicer one at any price..Let alone the $12,500 I am asking for this one. I have nothing to hide and encourage you ask questions if I have missed something. Either e-mail me through e-bay or call me at 602-228-9420. I am also willing to take more/different pics if you would like. I also would encourage an independent inspection if you are not used to buying a used vehicle and want an impartial opinion. For the cost of fuel and a plane ticket home I will personally drive this fabulous truck to you (after full payment).

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.

GMC vehicles earn spot on Madden NFL 25's roster

Wed, 17 Jul 2013

In the real world, the Super Bowl MVP gets a Chevrolet Corvette. Last year's MVP, Joe Flacco, took delivery of a C7 Corvette Stingray after leading the Baltimore Ravens to victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
In the video game world of the Madden NFL series, the Super Bowl MVP gets a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali. Why no Stingray in the video game? Because GMC inked a deal with EA Sports for the truck and SUV builder to be named the official vehicle of the football video game's twenty-fifth anniversary edition.
The new Sierra Denali will be joined by the Yukon, Acadia, and Terrain in game, with stadium promotions for the brand throughout the season. Yes, even when you're beating the hell out of your buddy who insists on playing with the hateful Cowboys, you'll be seeing commercials. (Hold your keystrokes, Cowboy fans. We're just kidding. Sort of.)

2015 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon unveiled

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has today unveiled its new family of fullsize SUVs, including the 2015 Chevy Tahoe, its longer Suburban sibling, and their GMC Yukon, Yukon XL and Yukon Denali cousins. More efficient powertrains, improved aerodynamics, increased connectivity and better overall refinement are what Chevy and GMC say will separate their new SUVs from the current generation.
Sporting a tried-and-true body-on-frame architecture, these full-size SUVs feature platforms that are stronger and offer a wider rear track for "a more planted stance," according to Chevy and GMC. Mounted at the front of each SUV is an EcoTec3 powertrain, which consists of a standard 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter V8 (or a 420-hp, 6.2-liter V8 for the GMC Yukon Denali alone) with direct injection, cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing, that's paired with a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. The setup is said to be more efficient than before, though official EPA fuel economies for each vehicle are not yet available. To help the powertrain achieve the best possible fuel economy in these 5,000+ pound SUVs, the new styling was developed with aerodynamics in mind. For the same reason, electric power steering also makes its debut in the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon family.
The front fascias of the Chevy Suburban/Tahoe and GMC Yukon are distinct, but from the base of the A-pillars back, they share most of the same styling cues. This now includes inlaid doors that tuck into the door sills, instead of over them, which improves aerodynamics and fuel economy, and lessens interior noise. The hoods and liftgate panels now are made of aluminum in an effort to reduce vehicle weight. Chevy and GMC also tout that the Tahoe/Suburban and Yukon don't share a single piece of sheetmetal or lighting element with the brands' full-size pick-up trucks.
