Up for Auction is an Original 1986 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4 3/4 ton pick up.

First and Foremost...This truck IS NOT RESTORED!!  IT IS ALL ORIGINAL except for the steering wheel.

The Story....

Originally a NEVADA State Truck...was brought to California in 1994 and was owned by the same owner for the last 20 years and used a extra truck for the home, dump runs etc.  When the clutch went out the truck was parked for the last few years.  I purchased the truck to make it my dump runner etc. but I recently had buddies get into jeeping so I am looking to find a CJ instead!

FACTORY OPTIONS:

Air conditioning, 4.10 gears with Posi-traction rear end, 4 speed tranny, ORIGNIAL PAINT (no secrets, no bondo)

I have done the following in the last few months:

Brand NEW LUK Clutch, pilot bearing, re-surfaced fly wheel, all new fluids in tranny and transfer case

Brand NEW Hydraulic brake system, new master cylinder, slave cylinder

Completely rebuilt factory Non-tilt Steering wheel

New idle sensor selenoid

The previos owner was smart when he parked it and drained, oil, fuel and water...So these systems have new fluids and are in complete working order!

Air conditioning is all intact (minus one vent in cab) and works, but does not blow cold.  Heater, defroster, and wipers all work.

 

WHAT IT NEEDS...

Tires...All four tires were slashed at the sidewall years ago...they have been patched for years to move around the previous owners property...THEY ARE NOT ROAD WORTHY.  They do completely hold air for months.  I was going to purchase tires but heres the deal....I don't want to spend money on tires if the next owner, wants a factory tire, a slightly upgraded size or if they want to lift it etc. 

The hood release handle is broken...it still works as it should it is just not mounted to the kick panel

No stereo

Dash is cracked

I removed the clutch safety switch because it didn't work, so stuck a 30 amp fuse as a relay and by passed it.  Works perfectly!

According to the previous owner the plugs and wires were replaced right before the clutch went out a few years ago.  They LOOK LIKE IT.  I did NOT replace them.

Rust:  Each cab corner has the beginning of paint bubble.  They metal is still very solid and all there, but there is the early stage of minor rust in these areas.  OTHERWISE There is NO RUST IN THE ENTIRE REST OF TRUCK. 

You will see the windshield is cracked in the pictures...THIS WILL BE REPLACED PRIOR TO SALE with a brand new Windshield!

This truck spent 20 of its thirty years in the suburbs of the San francisco Bay Area....NO SNOW, SALT and way inland from the coast.

 

Overall:

This truck runs like a top, shifts smooth and true and stops on a dime.  It drives straight as an arrow down the road.  ALL WINDOWS roll up and down perfectly, door locks work perfectly.

The body is straight with body flaws to be expected from a 30 year old 4x4.  The bed is in way above average condition, with minimal flaws.  The tailgate operates perfectly and is straight!

All this being said....It's a 30 year old bare bones 4x4 truck.  It will need some attention to above listed areas as well as a saturday afternoon doing belts etc. 

My reserve is extremely fair for such a truck.  Hard to find these that aren't all rust out and beat to hell.  I am a private party guy who is not selling to make a living, so your not gonna pay some inflated price if you were buying from dealer.

DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO BUY.  AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A RESTORED OR REFURBISHED TRUCK.  IT is driver quality.......

Pleas call or text with questions.  (925) 323-5747.  I have a 100 percent positive feedback on EBAY, and I intend on keeping that.  This truck has been described 100 percent accurately.

I would not plan on driving this truck across country..as it has minimal use in recent years and therefore its long distance reliablity is unknown.

If your a California Buyer...SMOG certification will be buyer responsiblity.  The truck is sold AS IS.

Good luck

2015 GMC Canyon

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

As discussed earlier today, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado is a new standout in terms of midsize trucks. But the Colorado wasn't the only pickup the General Motors team brought to San Diego for us to sample. Also along for the ride was a pack of GMC Canyons, the slightly more expensive and polished platform-mate to the Chevy.
There's no question that the Canyon and the Colorado are a lot alike under the skin - almost entirely, in fact - so GMC has worked to first create some daylight between the two trucks by way of sheetmetal. This is most obvious from the front view, where the blocky and blingy GMC grille replaces the more subdued tone and shape seen on the Chevy's nose. Projector headlights with LED running lights come as standard, and, again, with the squared-off look that is typical of the brand. 16-inch aluminum wheels come stock on the GMC, too, with the 17-inchers seen on my photo truck offered as standard equipment on the top-trim SLT.
GMC considers the Canyon to be the only premium truck in the segment (which is clearly true), and the team has spent a ton of time and effort to get the interior correct to prove out that point. "Any trim that looks like metal, is metal," I was told at the product briefing, a certain indication that the company is serious about bringing a new class of buyer to a truck segment that it hopes to redefine.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
