Up for sale is a 1981 GMC pick up truck. I really don't know much about the truck. I bought it for the bed and was going to use it on my truck. It's a pretty solid truck for an 81. It does have the rust on the rockers and bottom of the doors and such but over all, pretty solid. The box is amazing in and out. It did have a topper on it so the inside is above average and the outside has a little rust on passenger side down behind the rear tire above the exhaust. The truck is pretty straight over all as well. The motor sounds really good and always has started right up for me. I know the truck was out in California and Texas earlier on. I have a paper and receipts showing the engine was done as well as the tranny and rear end also the carb was replaced.... All I can say is what the papers say?? The interior isn't in to bad of shape. The dash pads not all cracked up like most. I found one small crack back by the defrost vent. Look at the pictures and if you have any questions please ask. Starting the sale out at what I have in it with no reserve so it will sell. I know the box is worth at least $400, engine $350, tranny $200, front shade $100 not to mention what the recycler will give you for it. The trucks definitely worth restoring in my opinion.
I do have extra rust free doors and fenders I would sell if who ever buys this is interested!!
The truck can sit here with no problems for a few weeks if you need to line up a shipper. I will help on my end if needed.
Thank you
I've had several questions asking if it runs. Yes, it's a running and driving truck....It has sat for several years I believe so it would need a good going over but I do drive it around here. In and out of the shop or pull a car into the garage etc....

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem
Thu, Feb 11 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog.

If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
