1972 GMC Sierra Grande, Camper Special, 3/4T, 2WD pickup in original condition. Third state of Washington owner. 126,000 miles. Original 402 cc big block with TH400 transmission and factory AC. Power steering and brakes, bedside factory toolbox, front disc brakes & rear drum brakes, factory camper wiring package. Newer HEI distributor, but have the original factory distributor and coil. Not a tach dash and not a tilt column. Interior is original and exceptionally clean. Exterior is a bit rusty but intact. This truck runs and drives great. Not sure if I would drive it across the country just because I'm not up for an adventure this year, but would drive it 500 - 1000 miles easily.
Bodywork: Original two-tone paint. No signs or stories of any collision damage at any time. The hood, fenders and cowl vent panel have surface rust, but no rust through and are structurally sound. The doors have some corrosion in the typical lower front and rear areas as well as exposed original mirror holes, but are useable, repairable, and structurally sound. It needs both lower cab corners and probably rocker panels. The cab floor pans and cowl area appear fine. The upper cab and the roof panel are fine. The upper box sides have rust through areas on the upper rails - I was told that it had a camper on it for a long time and there must have been moisture in the area between the camper base and the box upper rails. The factory side tool box door is pretty much shot and needs replaced. The tailgate has a fair amount of rust, but could be sandblasted and refinished.
Most of the chrome trim including grille, headlamp surrounds, logos, side marker lamp surrounds, and tailgate trim is pitted and rusty. The front bumper is in pretty fair condition. The rear step bumper is the old style, dealer installed, painted step bumper and in useable condition.
The frame is fine with surface corrosion only and no structural rust through areas. It has rear leaf springs.
The interior is original and about as clean as I have seen in the last few years. The seat has a couple of tears in the side panels, but overall is in great condition.The dash pad is cracked and needs replaced. Door trim panels are in excellent condition. The factory carpet is in excellent condition as are the factory seat belts. The glove box cardboard interior looks brand new. The headliner is sagging a bit. Locks, keys, radio, heater and AC controls all work.
I don't believe that the motor has ever been out of the truck and it starts up immediately and runs out fine with no smoking or hesitating. The transmission shifts fine and the driveline and rear end have no abnormal noises. The wheels are from an 05 Sierra and the tires are in decent shape. All the glass is in good condition.
All in all, a great truck to simply use and drive, or restore at your convenience.
Clear Washington title and current tabs in my name. Delivery is the responsibility of the purchaser, and I will assist in any reasonable manner. If you need more information or pictures, please ask. If purchased, the deposit can be done with PayPal, but the balance due needs to be done directly with the seller.

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip
Thu, Jul 20 2023J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."Â Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.

GM expanding Lansing Lambda CUV plant
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Considering that crossovers are a rapidly growing portion of the US auto market, it's not surprising to hear that General Motors is preparing to build even more of them. The company is investing $63 million to expand its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant that builds Lambda platform CUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave.
According to GM, the expansion will add roughly 263,000 extra square feet of space to the plant. Of that, 181,000 square feet will be for an updated body shop with cutting-edge robots. There will also be 54,000 square feet of additional room in the paint shop and 28,000 square feet of more area for general assembly.
GM isn't saying as much, but there is the possibility that this extra space could allow for additional models produced at the factory. Cadillac reportedly dropped plans to build a three-row SUV on the Lambda platform earlier this year, however, dealers for the luxury brand were recently pitched the possibility of adding large and small CUVs, an ATS convertible or a sedan below the ATS.
