 If you want a reliable and Very entertaining toy, this is it!! Starts and runs easily, looks terrific, gets lots of attention too!! The truck was built in the 80's as a show truck. Fully detailed undercarriage including fully painted frame and suspension. There is absolutely NO RUST. Anywhere. Every part is painted or finished properly. The top is removable. Bolted in the front with clips in the rear. Takes less than 3 minutes to remove. (2 bolts) Top is the original steel roof with rear glass. (Etched with ghost flames) interior is 2 racing buckets with 6 point harnesses, full carpet, custom door panels, stereo with subs in rear (radio works, subs do not),B & M ratchet floor shifter for the auto trans, lockout switch for the nitrous and a line loc button in the shift knob. Most dash gauges are not connected, voltage gauge works as does the huge tachometer, fuel pressure gauge and the oil pressure and temp gauges. Grant type wood rimmed steering wheel. Truck is equipped with power steering and brakes. There is no air conditioning or heat.

Paint finish is glass smooth, looks great but is not perfect. Small dents on drivers side rear of cab and front of bed. Each is about the size of a quarter. The doors open with a push button. There are no door handles. Inside the bed is finished with a platform that incorporates the battery, fuel cell, nitrous tank, and storage. A custom tonneau cover with the Chevy Bowtie covers the bed. There are strobe lights in the bed and grille area for those cruise nights or shows. Under hood is also fully detailed with chrome fasteners or caps, glossy paint on the inner wheelwells and hinges, every item polished or painted.

OK, now my favorite part. 383 Stroker small block V8. With nitrous. Have not had it on a dyno. I can if it is important to you before you buy it. Runs perfect. Starts every time on the first try. Sounds great. Truck is stupid fast. Trans can be shifted manually or leave it in drive. 12 Bolt posi rear. Drums in the back, discs up front. Headers and full welded dual exhaust that exits under the rear roll pan The powertrain was built for maximum power and reliability, normal maintenance is all that is required to keep it running well.

I am sure that you will be impressed with the looks and performance of this truck.  If you have any questions feel free to call. 267-994-8791

GMC to get own model not shared with Chevy?

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

For years, GMC has existed as a brand without a single unique product, reconstituting Chevrolet trucks, SUVs and crossovers with more frosting in exchange for a few extra dollars. The Sierra is a Silverado, the Acadia a Traverse, and the Terrain an Equinox, although admittedly the latter pair are visually differentiated to a significant degree.
GMC could be set to expand beyond its Chevy-based roots, though. During last week's Detroit Auto Show press days, GM's product boss Mark Reuss was asked whether there'd ever be a GMC that wasn't taken from Chevy. "Oh, yes, you will," Reuss told the media. "The health of GMC is astonishingly good from a consideration standpoint." Reuss wouldn't elaborate on what the model could be, although we're quite happy to make some guesses. GMC has its bases fairly well covered, with a mid-size and full-size crossover, as well as a mid-size, full-size and HD pickup. We doubt GMC will be building a family sedan, sports car, or hatchback, so really, the only place we can see the brand going is into a smaller crossover.
Automotive News points out that the most recent small GMC showcar, the 2010 Granite concept (shown above), won't see production according to General Motors. That vehicle likely would have rode on GM's compact vehicle architecture, known internally as Gamma II, which underpins the Chevy Spark and Sonic, as well as the Buick Encore (and its overseas Opel/Vauxhall/Chevy counterparts).

Train derailment leaves Jeep, GMC, Chevy pickups damaged in Nevada

Thu, Jul 11 2019

An unfortunate train derailment is causing some inevitable delays for pickup truck customers west of Nevada. Yesterday morning, 33 train cars derailed in Lincoln County, and the cargo that was being transported consisted of new Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers along with Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras, judging from the photos released by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. The train derailment also caused the adjacent road to be closed, and local law enforcement recommends the area is to be avoided as long as it takes to clean it all up. In the photos, damaged Jeeps and other trucks sit either on their wheels or shiny-side-down as the incident is being assessed. Available information says there were thankfully no personal injuries, but itÂ’s not likely any of these trucks will end up in customer hands, even with a significant discount. Pre-registration transport damage, significant or not, has often resulted in scrapping complete vehicles so that manufacturers can steer clear of liability issues. Hooniverse.com, which also reported on the incident, notes a couple of interesting things. Firstly, the upended Gladiator seems to have a pretty sturdy support structure for its glasshouse, thanks to its new rollbars. Another matter is that the GM trucks, also pictured, wear discreet and temporary transport steel wheels instead of fancier items, perhaps to deter thieves eager to grab a shiny set from trucks on their way to the dealer. Still, itÂ’s a shame these vehicles could never fulfill their hauling purposes in the hands of new owners. Perhaps the manufacturers can at least use the damage for data-gathering purposes.

2020 GMC Sierra HD offers loads of tech

Wed, Jan 23 2019

The 2020 GMC Sierra HD has finally been revealed, and it's a heck of a lot more subtle than the Silverado HD. Whereas the Chevy went with a wildly exaggerated version of the split grille and headlights the truck is known for, the Sierra simply builds on the 1500 model's design with an expanded grille that doesn't appear to be as tall or wide as the Chevy's. That's not to say it looks unimpressive, though. It's still got a massive fascia, it's just not as extreme as the one with a bowtie on it. With the Sierra's unveiling, we get more details about the powertrains available on the heavy duty GM trucks. The 6.6-liter turbocharged Duramax V8 makes 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. That's the exact same output as the engine in the old models. But this time, the engine will be mated to an Allison-branded heavy duty version of the GM 10-speed transmission. A gas engine will also be available, but GMC hasn't revealed details on it yet. The new Sierra boasts a range of new features, some that are unique to it, and some shared with the Silverado. A shared feature is the new steps in the bed sides that are standard on all Sierra HD models. Unique to the brand is the MultiPro tailgate with fancy drop-out step. This tailgate will be available on all trims, and it's standard starting with the mid-level SLT. There are some useful visibility features being shown on the new Sierra, too, such as an available trailer camera system with 15 possible viewpoints, and it can virtually show the rear view on the screen as if there wasn't a trailer in the way. GM's rear-view mirror screen also makes an appearance. An AT4 off-road trim will be available on the new Sierra HD. It has slightly different styling with dark grilles and trim. Off-road upgrades include reworked springs and shocks, skid plates, standard all-terrain tires and a locking rear differential. Pricing has not yet been announced, but the truck goes on sale this summer. Details on prices as well as further specifications will likely be announced near the on-sale date.
