Up for Auction is an Original 1986 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4 3/4 ton pick up.

First and Foremost...This truck IS NOT RESTORED!!  IT IS ALL ORIGINAL except for the steering wheel.

The Story....

Originally a NEVADA State Truck...was brought to California in 1994 and was owned by the same owner for the last 20 years and used a extra truck for the home, dump runs etc.  When the clutch went out the truck was parked for the last few years.  I purchased the truck to make it my dump runner etc. but I recently had buddies get into jeeping so I am looking to find a CJ instead!

FACTORY OPTIONS:

Air conditioning, 4.10 gears with Posi-traction rear end, 4 speed tranny, ORIGNIAL PAINT (no secrets, no bondo)

I have done the following in the last few months:

Brand NEW LUK Clutch, pilot bearing, re-surfaced fly wheel, all new fluids in tranny and transfer case

Brand NEW Hydraulic brake system, new master cylinder, slave cylinder

Completely rebuilt factory Non-tilt Steering wheel

New idle sensor selenoid

The previos owner was smart when he parked it and drained, oil, fuel and water...So these systems have new fluids and are in complete working order!

Air conditioning is all intact (minus one vent in cab) and works, but does not blow cold.  Heater, defroster, and wipers all work.

 

WHAT IT NEEDS...

Tires...All four tires were slashed at the sidewall years ago...they have been patched for years to move around the previous owners property...THEY ARE NOT ROAD WORTHY.  They do completely hold air for months.  I was going to purchase tires but heres the deal....I don't want to spend money on tires if the next owner, wants a factory tire, a slightly upgraded size or if they want to lift it etc. 

The hood release handle is broken...it still works as it should it is just not mounted to the kick panel

No stereo

Dash is cracked

I removed the clutch safety switch because it didn't work, so stuck a 30 amp fuse as a relay and by passed it.  Works perfectly!

According to the previous owner the plugs and wires were replaced right before the clutch went out a few years ago.  They LOOK LIKE IT.  I did NOT replace them.

Rust:  Each cab corner has the beginning of paint bubble.  They metal is still very solid and all there, but there is the early stage of minor rust in these areas.  OTHERWISE There is NO RUST IN THE ENTIRE REST OF TRUCK. 

You will see the windshield is cracked in the pictures...THIS WILL BE REPLACED PRIOR TO SALE with a brand new Windshield!

This truck spent 20 of its thirty years in the suburbs of the San francisco Bay Area....NO SNOW, SALT and way inland from the coast.

 

Overall:

This truck runs like a top, shifts smooth and true and stops on a dime.  It drives straight as an arrow down the road.  ALL WINDOWS roll up and down perfectly, door locks work perfectly.

The body is straight with body flaws to be expected from a 30 year old 4x4.  The bed is in way above average condition, with minimal flaws.  The tailgate operates perfectly and is straight!

All this being said....It's a 30 year old bare bones 4x4 truck.  It will need some attention to above listed areas as well as a saturday afternoon doing belts etc. 

My reserve is extremely fair for such a truck.  Hard to find these that aren't all rust out and beat to hell.  I am a private party guy who is not selling to make a living, so your not gonna pay some inflated price if you were buying from dealer.

DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO BUY.  AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A RESTORED OR REFURBISHED TRUCK.  IT is driver quality.......

Pleas call or text with questions.  (925) 323-5747.  I have a 100 percent positive feedback on EBAY, and I intend on keeping that.  This truck has been described 100 percent accurately.

I would not plan on driving this truck across country..as it has minimal use in recent years and therefore its long distance reliablity is unknown.

If your a California Buyer...SMOG certification will be buyer responsiblity.  The truck is sold AS IS.

Good luck

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.

GMC Canyon will debut in Detroit

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

With the debut of the Chevrolet Colorado at November's Los Angeles Auto Show, perhaps it was only a matter of time before we saw the small truck's GMC counterpart. That time will be January, as we've received official confirmation that the GMC Canyon will be revived at next month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The news came in the latest issue of the Detroit Auto Show's newsletter, NAIAS Connect. The article hasn't been posted online quite yet, but it details the Canyon as one of the world production debuts slated for the show.
While we've heard rumors that the Canyon would arrive in Detroit, this is our first concrete bit of evidence. As we've detailed before, we expect the Canyon to be stylistically quite different than the Colorado, though the underpinnings will be shared. The teaser image we have above is currently our only look at the new truck. We'll hopefully have more details in the next few weeks as the GMC Canyon draws closer to its official debut.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
