1977 GMC K2500 SIERRA CLASSIC CUSTOM CAMPER PICKUP TRUCK


This low miles truck turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever it goes. Originally a western truck, this vehicle has spent most of its life in a dry climate (and its winters in the garage) and it shows. This classic GMC has been driven less than 4,000 miles per year on average since new (five-digit odometer shows (1)29,000 miles, having rolled over once; due to oversized tires, true miles are closer to 145,000; when speedometer shows 60 mph, true speed is 68 mph per GPS). Truck runs flawlessly -- I recently drove it 400 miles in one day and passed PA inspection as-is the next day (May 2014). Rebuilt Jasper Goodwrench 350 engine installed by top local certified shop in 2010. AC converted in 2013 and blows cold. 4WD and lock-out hubs work as they should. 


There is minor rust bubbling along the lower driver's door edge. Other than that, it’s hard to find any rust on this vehicle. Rhino lining in very good condition, and included locking diamond plate tool box added in 2010 looks nearly new. The truck is repainted in its original colors but a style that is more representative of 1980s GM’s than its original factory paint scheme, yet it retains a very classic look. Fiberglass step-in running boards painted to match. The exhaust has a nice throaty rumble to it without sounding at all obnoxious. Toyo tires have aggressive tread resulting in moderate road hum. Dual gas tanks, approx 19 gallons each. Runs best on 89-91 octane. 


Truck appears to have about a 2” lift. Amber running lights on top of cab, plus cab-operated spotlight (yes, it's legal). Dual gun rack in cab. Interior is clean and intact. Carpet is excellent. Factory tachometer. Factory cruise control is not hooked up. Typical heat cracks in dashboard but relatively minor (no holes). Indian blanket seat cover in nice shape and has not been removed in the 4 years I’ve owned the truck; original cloth seat cover underneath in unknown condition. Truck has not been smoked in -- ash tray looks new. New JVC stereo with remote and door speakers installed in 2013. Truck is "cold blooded" and needs about 3 minutes for the carburetor to warm up. This is a heavy-duty, heavy-weight, real-deal truck. It is a not a sport truck and it has not been abused or driven off road. The only material change that I've made to the body or cab is the installation of the wood trim steering wheel, which perfectly complements the interior. However the original steering wheel is included. Vehicle has original seat belts for three passengers, including two shoulder harnesses.


Truck is garaged in Carlisle, PA, the car show capital of the eastern US. I have greatly enjoyed this truck, I just have too many trucks and it's time to let this beauty go. The pictures say the rest. I am an eBay member for 14 years with 100% positive feedback. This is one of my personal vehicles -- I am not a dealer or broker.

Son surprises his dad by restoring his 1949 pickup for Christmas

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Norman Meal, an 83-year-old retired farmer from Rushville, IN, nearly missed his big Christmas gift when his son, Kyle, first presented it to him. Norman was oblivious and was looking all over the garage floor until Kyle pointed out a satin black pickup with a bow on it parked inside. This wasn't just another case of a child buying a parent a dream vehicle; the '49 GMC sitting there was Norman's very first truck that was restored and ready to drive. According to Fox 59 WXIN, Norman's father purchased the GMC in 1949, and Norman bought it from him in the mid '50s to use on the farm. However, for about the past 13 years, the truck had been rotting away in the garage of one of Kyle's friends. As a perfect gift to his dad, Kyle took the pickup to a restoration shop to make the old vehicle roadworthy again. Practically everything was replaced – except for the horn. Thankfully, Kyle filmed his dad's reaction to getting the GMC. Check it out and watch them take a drive in the heartwarming video above.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.
