You are looking at a garage stored (when not being used) desert survivor. This truck has never been in a wreck. I bought this truck in 1980 from the original owner. Was purchased new in PHX and has been in AZ its whole life.The only body part that has been replaced is the right side fiberglass fender. A tire blowout took it out. It was replaced with a GM Fender. You read that right, the body is completely GM, not a P.O.S. that sat for 10 years and got restored out of a catalog with garbage parts. When it was repainted 10 years ago the front bumper was re-chromed, not replaced with tin junk. This truck even has the original tire jack and lug wrench. This truck has been maintained, not restored. Being that it is driven and does not sit much it is not perfect but VERY NICE. In 1998 the original engine (at 271k mi.) was replaced with a 1991 4-bolt 454 that was bored 30 and forged pistons were installed. Otherwise built stock. In 2008 the original transmission was replaced with a 4L80E. At that time I installed a GM throttle body injection system and ECM to go with the electronics in the trans. Yes, it does have the ALDL port for diagnostics. This is the classic beauty you want hauling your trailer Queen to the show.
The camper is a Tri-Glas industries camper. It has the bed kit with side box storage, custom cabinet with independent stereo, and a high-end "Fantastic" brand vent fan.
Here is a list of the toys on this truck:::

Tilt Wheel                                                                   L.E.D. Marker lights
Electronic Cruise--no transducer                                   Fog Lights
Dual gas tanks                                                            Aux radiator cooling fan for desert driving
Bench seat with fold down console                               Aux trans cooler and trans fluid temp gauge
Lighted Visor                                                              Sanden SD-10 A/C compressor
Dual Batteries                                                             Rear View mirror w/map lights
Behind the seat toolbox wired with 12volt                      Aluminized dual exhaust

Electronic Trailer brake controller                                 Full Length Split running boards

I challenge you to find a nicer one at any price..Let alone the $12,500 I am asking for this one. I have nothing to hide and encourage you ask questions if I have missed something. Either e-mail me through e-bay or call me at 602-228-9420. I am also willing to take more/different pics if you would like. I also would encourage an independent inspection if you are not used to buying a used vehicle and want an impartial opinion. For the cost of fuel and a plane ticket home I will personally drive this fabulous truck to you (after full payment).

2017 GMC Acadia coming to Detroit Auto Show

Thu, Jan 7 2016

Well, it's about time. If there's one group of vehicles that are in serious need of an update, it's the GM Lambda crossovers. You know, the Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave. They're super old. Good thing, then, that the brand-new Acadia is coming to the Detroit Auto Show next week, as evidenced by this teaser image found on the company's Facebook page. There's not much to see here, except for an LED taillamp signature on what appears to be a much cleaner rear end. We expect the three-row CUV to feature all of the latest GM tech, including a robust infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. V6 power and optional all-wheel drive makes sense here, too, though we won't rule out some kind of four-cylinder option. When GM launched the Lambda crossovers, the Acadia arrived first in late 2006, alongside the now-discontinued (but still very much present in the current Acadia) Saturn Outlook. The Buick Enclave came next, and the Chevy Traverse arrived after that. It's unclear if GM will stick with this rollout plan, of course, but one thing's for sure: all-new versions of these CUVs cannot come soon enough. Related Video:

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:

GM is the latest automaker accused of diesel emissions cheating

Thu, May 25 2017

Volkswagen and Ram need to make room on the diesel-emissions bench for General Motors. America's largest automaker was accused in a lawsuit on Thursday of rigging hundreds of thousands of diesel trucks with at least three so-called defeat devices to ensure that the trucks would meet federal and state emission standards, even if they generated more pollution in real-world driving. According to the complaint, on-road emissions testing conducted for the plaintiffs found that Duramax-equipped trucks produced NOx pollutants, comprised of nitrogen and oxygen atoms, two to five times higher than legally permitted, and "many times" higher than their gasoline counterparts. The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Detroit on behalf of people who own or lease more than 705,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks fitted with "Duramax" engines from 2011 to 2016 model years. The lawsuit seeks remedies including possible refunds or restitution for lost vehicle value, plus punitive damages. It adds to legal problems for Detroit-based GM, which has already paid about $2.5 billion in penalties and settlements over faulty ignition switches linked to 124 deaths. GM joins at least five automakers whose diesel emissions have been scrutinized by regulators or consumers. They include VW, which has admitted to cheating; Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler; Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Peugeot and Renault. GM spokesman Dan Flores called the claims "baseless," and said the trucks comply with US Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards and California's own tough standards. Shares of GM were down 69 cents, or 2.1 percent, at $32.50 in afternoon trading, after earlier falling to $31.93. The GM lawsuit was filed by several law firms, including Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, which helped reach multibillion-dollar settlements with VW on behalf of drivers and dealers. The case is Fenner et al v General Motors LLC et al, US District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, No. 17-11661. The named plaintiffs are Andrei Fenner of Mountain View, California and Joshua Herman of Sulphur, Louisiana. They said they would not have bought their respective 2011 Sierra and 2016 Silverado trucks, or would have paid less for them, had they known about the alleged rigging. Joseph Spak, an RBC Capital Markets analyst, in a research report said "negative publicity" from the lawsuit could drive buyers to trucks from Ford or even Fiat Chrysler's Ram.
