1971 GMC 2500 PICKUP

This truck underwent a body off frame restoration recently, and has only been driven 2951 miles since!

Keep in mind that the mileage will change, as I still drive it almost daily. This truck was equipped from the factory with Air Conditioning. The cab components are intact, missing the condenser, and compressor, Easy to put back to working order. We are up in the mountains, doesn't get too hot up here.

This is a 3/4 ton, 2 wheel drive, longbed pickup. Everything from front to back, inside and out has been replated, repainted, rebuilt, or replaced. Nothing was left untouched. The list of what has been done to it, is a very long list. But, I will try and summarize, to give you an idea.

Body; cab, bed, front end, suspension, both front and rear, gas tanks, engine, trans. etc. completely disassembled. The body was painted inside and out. Metallic green. Has the paint code sticker attached to the spec. sheet on the inside of the glovebox.

New:

Rubber body mounts, Rubber bed mounts, radiator, upholstery, all new Pro Comp gauges (full set) Sony CD player in dash, 2 stereo amps under the seat. 4 speakers in the doors, 2 each side. Suspension all gone through, ball joints, A-arm bushings, drag link, pitman arm, tie rods, springs (2" longer than factory to correct the front end droop) truck sits level! New brakes: Power booster, dual master cylinder, front disc rotors, calipers, pads, bearings, seals. Rear drums, shoes,  and hardware kits.  New weather stripping, new window rubber, new tinted glass (ALL) New window rubber, fuzzies, door glass, window regulators, wing windows, wing rubber, and latches.

Totally rebuilt small block Chevy 350. 30 over, RV cam, Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock 600 carb. vac secondaries, electric choke, Hedman headers, full length, HEI ignition. Rebuilt TH 400, with RV shift kit, and cooler.  Was a power steering truck, power box replaced with a manual box. Steers very easily, even when sitting still. Class IV 2" receiver hitch with trailer wiring, electric brake controller (dash mounted) New 8 lug alloy rims with new Michelin Radials LT 235/85/16 "E" load rating. over $2k in tires and wheels. Leaf spring rear suspension with air bags above the springs on both sides. Valves on a custom made bracket, locater near the license plate. Corvette style wooden/aluminum steering wheel.

All wiring replaced with a factory kit. New front to back, including lighting and engine harness. Full cab carpeting, recent visors, carpet, door panels, sill plates, seat upholstery, dash pad, glove box, gauges, stereo (nice system) seat belts. Stock gas tank was removed from inside the cab, and replaced with a 24 gallon tank. This tank is mounted under the bed, between the frame rails. Fills from inside the bed. Sprayed in bedliner also.

This truck starts, runs, shifts, steers, drives, and stops excellent. Everything works as it should. A lot of time was put in to lovingly restoring this GMC truck, and it is apparent. I don't think you could find a better one out there. Sure, you may find one with more "bling," but mechanically, this truck is it! Its been a California truck since new (as far as we know) and as such, it is a very dry, rust free truck.  This truck was painted almost 10 years ago, and stored inside while the rest of the build was going on. It was just recently machine polished, and hand waxed. Full detail was just done, inside and out.

In closing, if you want one of the nicest restored classic trucks out there, then you've come to the right place. New projects have got in the way, and it's time to make some money, and room. No disappointments, bid to win!! I will do my best to answer all questions, so please ask before you bid. Inspect BEFORE winning this auction. Thank You

GM 6.2L EcoTec V8 rated at 21 mpg by the EPA

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

General Motors is already laying claim to best-in-class power for its new 6.2-liter V8 that will be offered in the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra this fall, and now it has released fuel economy numbers for the big engine. Available as an option on the Silverado LTZ and High Country (shown above) models as well as the the Sierra SLT and Denali trims, the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 will return 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 mpg on the highway on rear-wheel-drive trucks; these numbers drop by one mpg each on four-wheel-drive models.
These estimates are in addition to the engine's 420 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque and max trailering capacity of 12,000 pounds, and considering all that power it's not terribly far away from the fuel economy of GM's equally new 4.3-liter V6 and its rating of 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. This announcement comes just days after a report indicated that GM is unable to keep up with the demand of the 5.3-liter V8 in the fullsize Chevy and GMC trucks due to supplier issues. GM's official press release for the 6.2-liter V8's fuel economy is posted below.

2014 GMC Sierra Regular Cab revealed

Thu, 16 May 2013

Despite initially launching in just the Crew Cab configuration, the lineup of 2014 GMC Sierra and 2014 Chevrolet Silverado trucks will eventually grow to include three cab sizes and three bed lengths. Oddly enough, our first look at the Regular Cab bodystyle has arrived in a General Motors press release discussing the aerodynamics of the new truck, with an image showing a Sierra Regular Cab testing in the wind tunnel. GMC's website says that Regular Cab and Double Cab models will be available by summer.
While it really didn't take too much imagination to figure out what the two-door version would look like, this Regular Cab Z71 looks pretty sharp with its standard-length (6.5-feet) bed - a longer bed will also be offered. In regards to the aero tuning of the 2014 Sierra, these images show just how far GM has gone in maximizing the truck's fuel efficiency and reducing its noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels. Interestingly, the press release shows visual evidence that keeping the tailgate up is best for aero - there's always been some Mythbusters-level contention about such things -but GM also says that adding tonneau covers (preferably soft) and running boards can also help improve the overall aerodynamics. Scroll down for all of this aero info in the official press release.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
