1976 GMC 3/4 Ton Royal Sierra Camper Special. I purchased this truck from the original owner 8 years ago. It has been garaged kept since I have had it and from the looks of it, most of its life prior. It is in very nice original condition. I replaced the hood when I got it with a used one and also replaced the hinges with factory GM hinges. The hood is Dupont Base Clear and an excellent finish inside and out. I had the transmission rebuilt by Deltrans in northern Delaware and it is awesome! We pulled the engine right away and replaced the timing chain, put a small RV cam in it, New push rods, roller tip rockers, oil pump and completely resealed it. I had the carburetor professionally done and it works great (choke is wired open and inop). It has Heartthrob 2 1/4 mandrel bent duel exhaust with turbo mufflers and it sound great. I replaced the power steering pump and both lines, fuel pump, water pump and put a Edelbrock performer intake on it. This truck runs fantastic. uses no oil and had great power. We put a factory posi (gov-lock) unit in the rear (from Gevo's Gears). I put 2 new E-Load-Rated tires on it when I got it and the rear tires are at least 80%. Has new front calipers, rotors, pads and brake lines on it. I replaced the rear springs with 8 leaf units as it had 10 leaf units on it which were very harsh. New shocks out back too. The bed has a wooden platform in it which I have never removed. The bed floor and tail gate I don't believe have ever seen water and are extremely nice and clean. The body: New hood and hinges. Rockers appear 100% solid. Windshield is perfect. The bottom of the front fenders have small holes and have been touched up prior to my owning it. The only other rust is behind the left rear tire and is smaller then a pencil eraser. The previous owner loved undercoat. Under the hood has plenty. Both inner fenders are rusty (visible in one of the pictures) and the left front inner fender has been patched for some reason. The radiator support is 100% solid as is the battery tray. The grill is perfect save for some paint loss, I do have a spare grill to go with the truck of the same year and earlier years if desired. The doors are 100% solid. The right door has a stress fracture at the top hinge requiring a little more effort to get closed but functions properly otherwise. All 4 wheels have been bead blasted and repainted in Imron 817 white. I put the camper mirrors on it and have the original ones which will go with the truck. The previous owner had apparently experimented with other mirrors evidenced by the screws in the doors at non-factory locations. Both front and rear bumpers are mildly bent but nice other wise. I have a new aftermarket chrome front bumper that can be purchased by the winner for what I paid if desired. Duel Tank Fuel system: I replaced the fuel sender in the driver side fuel tank and all the fuel hoses bypassing the "broken" selector valve. I have a new NOS GM selector valve and also a new fuel sender for the right tank. These go with the truck. Easy fix if you want to use both tanks, if not leave it like it is. Interior: the seat looks perfect but is showing its wear. It is splitting at the seams and has been stitch a little on the drivers side before I got it. An upholstery shop can save it as it is quite unique and original. The dash has one crack in it in the speaker area but is near perfect otherwise. The 70's carpet if really nice too! It has a tilt column in it which is tight as the day it was new and the column shifter feels like the day it was new also. The steering wheel has the grain still on it with almost no wear. The A/C works when charged but doesn't stay charged more than a day or so. Believe the compressor is leaking. The radio is not original but looks very similar and works. Towing: it has a class III hitch on it, a 7 pin round connector and a very nice brake controller. This truck tows like a dream when set up properly. This is a very nice survivor which has been mechanically updated professionally and properly. I would not hesitate to drive it to California. I do not need to sell it and would love to keep it, but am running out of garage room. Please ask questions before bidding. Additionally, I ask that you call me for other details or clarifications as well please don't call and waste your/my time if you cannot afford the truck or do not intend on buying it. I am setting the reserve at $5000, I paid 2500 for it 8 years ago and have done much to update and preserve this truck. I have never seen another one like it. Shipping: I will aid in having it loaded and handed off to a carrier, arranging shipping is up to you and they will need to communicate with me. You can drive it home with no issues!!!! Payment: I am requiring a NON-REFUNDABLE $500 PayPal deposit within 24 hours after the auction ends so make arrangements! The buyer will have 5 days to make the balance of payment unless we agree on different terms. The title is in my name and is clean/clear. I will FedEx it overnight once payment is made at the cost of the buyer. Please call me with questions and/or to arrange payment/pick-up Etc. If you have bad feedback or less then 50, call before you bid. I only speak English. This vehicle is located in Chestertown Maryland. Justin 443-480-2779 On Jun-30-14 at 03:01:29 PDT, seller added the following information: The drive shaft was professionally rebuilt with a new carrier bearing, all U-joints and balanced by Maryland Truck several years ago. On Jun-30-14 at 15:31:31 PDT, seller added the following information: The truck is a Long Bed (8 foot) which I thought was evident by the pictures. All 3/4 ton trucks were long beds unless you ordered a cab & chassis and built what you wanted. I have had 2 questions about the price. Here is the deal: this is an AUCTION and I am not ending the auction early. The reserve is $5000 which is stated in the description above. If you are the high bidder over $5000 then you are legally obligated to pay for it. It's just that simple. Again, under 50 feedback, please contact me if you intend to buy it. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. Happy Bidding, someone is going to get a very nice survivor!!!!! On Jun-30-14 at 17:35:49 PDT, seller added the following information: I also have a factory Tach Dash for this truck with a new tach lead wire that will be available to the buyer if they are interested in purchasing it and it will not be expensive. |

2015 GMC Canyon is a Chevy Colorado in Sierra clothing [w/video]
Sun, 12 Jan 2014Ford may not offer the Ranger in America anymore, nor Dodge (or Ram) its Dakota. But General Motors - not unlike Toyota with its Tacoma and Nissan with the Frontier - isn't about to give up on the midsize pickup market. Less than two months ago, it revealed the new Chevrolet Colorado, and now it's following up with its mechanical twin, the 2015 GMC Canyon.
Launched today ahead of its reveal at the Detroit Auto Show, the Canyon slots into the GMC lineup (and differentiates itself from its Chevrolet twin) with styling that closely apes the larger GMC Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD, only a size or two smaller. Oh, there are visual differences, like a subtly different grille treatment and lower fascia, but it still maintains its big brother's square-jawed good looks and rectilinear flared fenders.
Two aluminum-block engines with direct injection and variable valve timing are available: a 2.5-liter inline-four comes standard with 193 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and a 3.6-liter V6 is available with 302 hp and 270 lb-ft. Buyers will also be able to choose between three bodystyle configurations, three trim levels and either two- or four-wheel drive. A six-speed automatic transmits the power to the road, but a six-speed manual is available on the base model with the 2.5 and 2WD, and there's an All Terrain package available on SLE models. A diesel is expected later.
GM confirms 2015 Silverado, Sierra to get 8-speed automatic
Fri, 18 Jul 2014When viewed alongside the next Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500, there is one thing that seems to be missing from the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Where the F-150 will rely on turbocharging and aluminum architecture and the Ram sports an eight-speed automatic and an air suspension, the General Motors twins lack a big, calling-card feature. They're very good, very refined trucks, but one could argue that they're not terribly innovative.
And while it might not be as flashy a feature as air suspension or a lightweight skin, the Silverado and Sierra will get their own eight-speed automatic for 2015, a transmission that will be paired with the company's Ecotec3 6.2-liter V8. The new cogswapper will also find its way into the GMC Yukon Denali, but for now, there's no indication why the Cadillac Escalade, Suburban, Tahoe and standard Yukon are being left out.
According to GM, the new gearbox is about the same size and weight as the current Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed. By the time the new powertrain combination enters production late this year, the EPA will almost certainly have gotten around to certifying the vehicles' fuel efficiency. Until then, feel free to speculate. The current Silverado with the 6.2 and six-speed auto returns 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway. How much do you think the eight-speed will improve those figures? Scroll down for the official press blast from General Motors, and then head into Comments.
2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon all spied with production lights
Fri, Mar 22 2019One of our spy photographers just caught a smattering of full-size GM SUVs out testing, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon. Previous spy photos of the next-generation of these big GM SUVs have revealed that GM is going with an independent rear suspension design, and these shots confirm the news once again with our best look at the hardware yet. Check them out from the rear, lined up like ducks in a row to see the beefy control arms down there. This will undoubtedly give the big SUVs a more compliant ride, and should bring it back into touch with the refinement from the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. The new bits we get to see with these shots are production headlights and taillights that are shaping up to look pretty neat. Most distinguishable are the GMC Yukon's LED DRLs. These look a lot like the C-shaped LEDs outlining the headlights on the Sierra, but they have an extra LED strip on top of the C. The parts of the taillights that we can see look significantly different than that found on the Sierra, showing GM is planning on having a great deal of differentiation there. We can sort of see through the mesh covering the grille to what appears to be a classic horizontal bar style front opening. Chevy is predictably dialing the crazy LED strip design back for the Tahoe and Suburban. The parts that are lit up look a whole lot like the headlight fixtures on the 2019 Silverado. That truck uses a stack of lights with the actual headlights separated from the DRLs. We can see the same thing going on here, with the headlight up top and curved LED DRL strip sitting below. It's tough to say if the designs are exactly alike, but we expect to see an extremely Silverado-esque look once all the camouflage comes off. Chevrolet's taillight design differs from its donor truck like the GMC, showing off a curved, vertical series of LEDs out back. Once production lights start popping up like this, we know the vehicle is moving closer to its end game. A reveal sometime later this year could be in the cards for GM's next batch of full-size SUVs. It certainly needs them quick, as Ford rockets ahead with increased Expedition production announced earlier this week.
