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.

GMC's Denali offerings are going great guns

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

The Denali trim that GMC uses to denote its top-of-the-line vehicles was introduced back in 1999, partly as a way to challenge the recently introduced Lincoln Navigator. Fifteen years later, and with GMC the tenth-largest US automotive brand by itself Denali has become a sub-brand that keeps the cash registers ringing at the Renaissance Center HQ. While GMC increased sales by 9 percent in 2013, TheDetroitBureau.com reports that that Denali sales rose by 20 percent.
There are currently five Denali models in the GMC line, with the Denali trim available on all but its commercial vans. In 2010, when the now-discontinued Yukon XL Hybrid was also on sale, GMC sold 32,886 units of its top trim. Last year, that number had increased to 75,558, with almost no help from traditional marketing spends. Go to YouTube and search for "GMC Denali commercials" - the few actual commercial results are from years ago. GMC marketing director Roger McCormack tells TheDetroitBureau.com, "It's largely all been organic."
As sales have grown, so has the tide of money GMC rakes in from the additional luxury features on Denali models. The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at $44,600, yet its 2014 Yukon Denali doppelganger starts at $58,320, pricing that includes additional features like the larger 6.2-liter V8, nicer interior, head-up display and magnetic ride control suspension. The Yukon XL Denali starts at $60,965, but the article says the "average customer" likely to spend "up and above $70,000" to take one home. How does that happen? On a top-trim Tahoe LTZ, the top-tier wheel option is a set of 20-inch chrome wheels for $400; on the 'base' Yukon Denali you can swap for a set of 22-inch chrome alloys for $2,995. Add it up, and an analyst at AutoTrends Consulting said that kind of margin "epitomizes the concept of obscene profitability." We say when it comes to Denali, GMC appears to stand for "Grabbing More Cash."

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.

GM will no longer remove parts from trucks to calculate curb weights

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Following last week's mild uproar after it was discovered that Ford and General Motors were removing some optional parts from their pickups to lower the curb weight and consequently increase the maximum payload, GM has come out and committed to a base curb weight for its upcoming Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact trucks (although it has yet to publish them) and its current Silverado and Sierra. The company will do the same for its heavy duty offerings, although those numbers have not been finalized yet.
"This will make our curb weight and payload specs more consistent with those of most other truck makers, making it easier for customers to compare vehicles," GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog in an emailed statement.
As GM notes - and as every manufacturer has noted since this story broke - customers still shouldn't take max payload ratings as gospel. Instead, they should refer to their truck's Tire and Load Label, like the one shown at the inset, which will offer detailed information on max payload, specific to their truck.
