1969 Gmc Custom Truck on 2040-cars

I have a project 1969 GMC Custom Longbed Truck with a 350 engine. Truck is just about complete. I have a clean title, truck does turn over with no issue, I see almost no dents. Truck is A/C & Heater ready (meaning it is already installed on truck) & has the big glass back window. 
I do not want to sell, but I am way too busy to work on, with classes, full time work (I am an accountant), & studying for my CPA (Certified Public Accountant) Exams, plus I have a 3 year old little girl that DEMANDS/COMMANDS all my attention. :)

The only BADs:
* Carburetor needs to be rebuilt.
* Gas tank needs cleaning. (estimates about $100.00+/- for any local shops to professional clean) (note this truck has a 2nd gas tank that is working fine that I re-routed the gas lines to so truck will run)
* Whoever last had truck - jacked up the wiring - needs to be re-done. (Complete wire harness from LMC magazine is about $600.00+/-)
* Tires need to be replaced. (estimates about $25.00 a tire for good used tires at any local used tire shops) - (still has all 4 original GMC hubcaps)
* Drum Brakes are shot. (estimates about $400+/- for any local shop to convert to discs).

Other than that just need outside mirrors, a paint job, and maybe some interior work done. I have original door covers, arm covers, rearview mirror, carburetor cover, seat belts. 
Again this truck is amazing - Chevys are a dime a dozen, Fords are everywhere, the old Dodge's body tend to bend in the middle - these GMCs are more classic because not many were made opposed to their counterparts and with the double headlights (only trucks that have those) and this is also a Custom truck meaning even less of these were made; I could sell for much more since you can see other GMCs around the same year non-Customs are selling for a little less, the same, or more, but they have no engine/transmission and are all rusted and dented out. Mine turns over with ease, I have listed all the main issues, & it was supposed to be my Zompacolypse get-way machine.
Come check it out and we can talk about price all day, but I need to know it is getting a place unlike mine where it has sat for over a year.
God Bless and lets see if we can work a deal - I am open for anything other than trades - in other words no trades.

GMC considers adding more vehicles to broaden product line

Tue, Mar 3 2015

GMC is considering expanding its product portfolio in the next 10 years to allow it to reach more potential buyers and grow sales, a top executive said Monday. The small and midsize sport-utility-vehicle segments are two possibilities, said Duncan Aldred, GMC sales and marketing vice president. He also said GMC won't make a car, preferring to reinforce its reputation as a maker of trucks and SUVs. "There's plenty of opportunities even if we define ourselves as a we do as a truck and crossover brand," he said. He wouldn't comment on the possibility of adding a Jeep Wrangler-fighter, though rumors have swirled for months that GMC is considering a product to compete with the iconic off-roader. "I can't confirm that ... everything's on the table," he said. He also said that it's possible GMC could get a unique set of underpinnings – all of its vehicles share platforms that are also used by Chevrolet – but it's not needed to differentiate his brand. "I'm very happy sharing underpinnings and everything else," he said. "All of the good-performing automakers do that." Speaking to journalists at a roundtable at General Motors headquarters in Detroit, Aldred said GMC received an investment from GM that is double what the brand has historically spent to fund its growth plans. Advertising spending alone will increase 50 percent this year compared with 2014. The brand rolled out a new ad campaign on Monday, called "Precision," that will underscore attention-to-detail and the premium features of GMC vehicles. Two of the commercials have a sporting theme, and the third focuses on modern menswear. GMC called it a "contemporary interpretation" of the brand's traditional positioning, and it will also continue to use its long-running "Professional Grade" tagline. The premium positioning of the ads come as buyers are increasingly outfitting their trucks as near-luxury vehicles. The percentage of buyers opting for the top-end Denali trim has increased from 17 percent in the middle of 2014 to 21 percent now. The goal is to get Denali to make up 25 percent of GMC sales by the end of 2017, Aldred said. Spurred by the higher Denali take-rate, the brand's transaction prices leapt by $3,000 last year. "It's [Denali] really kind of this jewel in the crown," Aldred said. GMC sales increased 11.3 percent in 2014 to 501,853 units, making it GM's-second-best-selling brand behind Chevrolet.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.
