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.

Chevy Silverado edges Ram 1500 in Consumer Reports two-truck shootout
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Forget Corvette versus Viper. When it comes to important head-to-head comparisons, fullsize trucks are where domestic automakers really care. And until the redesigned Ford F-150 makes its debut, the Chevrolet Silverado is going to have plenty to brag about thanks to a new Consumer Reports shootout against the Ram 1500.
It was a tight race among these V8-powered titans, but the all-new 2014 Silverado (and its GMC Sierra twin) barely edged out Ram's updated pickup with a score of 81 points - enough to make it the institute's top-rated fullsize truck on the market. Its narrow victory over the Ram, which finished just three points back, was due to its superior fuel economy, better towing and payload capacity and conveniences like a lower step-in height, easy-to-use tailgate and rear bumper steps that make loading and unloading less of a chore.
Importantly, CR notes that buyers with less heavy-duty truck needs might actually prefer the Ram over the Chevrolet, since its high points include a smoother ride thanks to its coil spring rear suspension, dominant infotainment system with Uconnect, and a big thumbs up for the available Hemi engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.
GMC boss wants a Jeep Wrangler rival
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Challengers come and challengers go, but the Jeep Wrangler continues to push forward even after vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the entire Hummer brand have been shut down. Now GMC reportedly wants to take a stab at the quintessential Jeep, as well.
The news comes directly from Buick-GMC vice president Duncan Aldred, speaking with our compatriots over at Edmunds. Although Aldred said there are no plans currently on the table to expand GMC's lineup beyond the current range, "there is plenty of room everywhere in the hierarchy."
That could include a rival to the Wrangler, as well as a flagship luxury SUV positioned above the current Yukon Denali (pictured above). Just when (or for that matter, if) such models might come into fruition remains a big question mark, but it's certainly interesting to see what GM's dedicated truck brand has on the drawing board.
2015 GMC Yukon erupts into flames during Anaheim test drive [w/video]
Mon, 24 Mar 2014A 2015 GMC Yukon burst into flames while on a test drive in Anaheim, CA on Sunday after smoke filled the cabin. Residents of the neighborhood where the driver abandoned the redesigned Yukon reported hearing a series of small explosions (likely the tires, based on the video), according to a report from KTLA and The Los Angeles Times.
No one was injured in the incident, which The Times reports occurred after a possible oil or fluid leak. As you can see in the image above, the Yukon was engulfed in flames, although the Anaheim Fire Department was able to put out the blaze in about 15 minutes.
"We're very lucky that no one got hurt, and it was in an area that... was safe," Lt. Tim Schmidt of the Anaheim Police Department told KTLA reporters. "If there was any place that was going to be safe, it would be this area. It's very open. It worked out for us."
