Vintage 1976 Gmc Chevrolet C15 Sierra Classic Standard Cab Pickup 5.7l Wood Bed on 2040-cars

Year:1976 Mileage:85243
Location:

VERY ORIGINAL 1976 GMC Pickup with original WOOD BED

I'm the second owner of this pickup and have owned it since 2005.

Garaged since 1976.

YES, ONLY 85,243 miles!!!!

The previous owner had it rustproofed in the 70's and used it only to tow his pontoon boat.  I've used it to tow our boat, motorcycles and pickup appliances and large items.

Very original.  However, non-original items are: air conditioning converted to R-134, for safety reasons I replaced the original driver side and passenger side lap seatbelts with new shoulder harness type belts, by-passed the original (non-repairable) cruise control with a new cruise control, the radiator is not the original brass unit (replacement is aluminum/plastic), replaced the headliner and reupholstered the seat. I have pictures of the original headliner and seat.

Meticulously maintained.  All regular maintenance up to date with full records since I owned it and some from previous owner.  Maintenance DUE mileages / dates included such as: Engine oil and filter, transmission fluid and filter, differential fluid, coolant, brake fluid, bearings packed, power steering fluid.

If you provide me an e-mail address I can send the maintenance log in Microsoft Word format.

Air conditioning is COLD and heat is HOT.

NO cracks in original dash.

Antenna in windshield.

In the last 20,000 miles the following have been replaced: Radiator, coolant hoses, thermostat, water pump, alternator, air conditioning compressor, air conditioning dryer, all air conditioning O-rings, U-joints, all belts, windshield washer pump, rear leaf springs, all 4 tires (6 years old / 10,000 miles), 6 year battery replaced in 2010, master cylinder, front rotors, front calipers, front brake pads, rear wheel cylinders, rear brake shoes, all brake hoses.

Although she gets looks and compliments everywhere she's a driver not a show truck.  We have used this truck only on fair weather days but we have USED this truck.  Although the paint has been touched up over the years it does have its fair share of nicks and scratches.  The worst scratches are just behind the fuel cap (picture included) and of course in the bed, but there are chips on the door edges, the hood, the tailgate....  There is still rustproofing dripping from the bottom of the doors and in the bed, underneath some of the undercoating is peeling off (see pictures).  I would call her 99% rust free with no rust holes in the body work.  The frame is 100% solid.  The wood bed is 100% solid. 

Mechanically this truck is in excellent condition with all maintenance up to date.  You can purchase knowing that nothing needs to be done to have a comfortable, cool, reliable and safe vintage classic truck.

I am selling since my wife purchased a Suburban and I can hardly justify having 2 truck sized vehicles.

Although she's been very reliable and maintenance is up to date (I probably don't need to say this), but NO WARRANTY is included or implied.  Acceptable condition of the truck is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer.....it is, after all a 38 year old vehicle.

A $500 deposit to be made by paypal within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction.

The balance of the auction in cash to be paid within 7 days.  If paid by cashiers check, check will clear before truck is shipped.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.

I do have the truck listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells here.

Please feel free to call me with questions,

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.

GM recalling Silverado and Sierra HD diesel pickups over fuel gauge follies

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

General Motors is recalling 9,733 of its heavy-duty twins over concerns with their 6.6-liter diesel engines and dual fuel tanks. The recall covers some Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from model years 2012 and 2013, although the exact dates that the recalled trucks were built isn't specified. There's also no mention of how many models come from Chevrolet and how many are from GMC.
The problem rests with the transfer pump responsible for moving fuel from the rear tank to the front tank - it could fail, resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge. It hardly requires explaining, but a faulty fuel gauge could leave drivers in a situation where they run out of diesel.
GM will begin notifying customers of affected vehicles, who will be asked to report to their dealers for a free replacement transfer pump.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
