This is a 1975 GMC Shortbox 4WD Pickup. It has a 4" lift kit by Rancho. It is equipped with a 350 cu in engine, bored 40 over flat top pistons, low end RV cam, a 350 Edelbrock carburetor, and Headman headers. The engine has less than 2500 miles on it and runs out very strong.
It has a lot of low end torque and really gets with the program. The transmission is a 350 turbo rebuilt the same time the engine was, and the transfer case was also rebuilt - all new chains, bearings, etc.
The front and rear differentials are 373 gears. The rear is posi-traction. The wheels are 15" x 12" aluminum Outlaw 1. The tires are 33 x 12.5 R15LT.
This truck has very unique front and rear bumpers. They are made out of oilfield pipe and formed to fit the front and rear very well. They look like factory, and they are very strong. There are homemade nerf bars under the doors, and they are formed to fit the truck very well too - very strong and durable. There is a set of row bars for the back that you can see in one of the pictures, but they are not mounted down because I did not want to drill any holes in the floor of the pickup since the floor is in perfect condition.
This truck runs and drives very well. You can be proud to be seen in this vehicle because there are not too many that look like this. This truck has been sitting in a garage since 2003. The AC is built into the truck, but the hoses and compressor have been taken off. You will have to find different hoses and a compressor.
On the title it shows the mileage at 98239, but the previous owner completely went through the truck from one end to another and put all the right stuff in it to make the truck what it is today. The first speedometer quit, so he found another one. Right now this one shows 33591, and it only has less than 2500 miles on a complete engine, transmission and transfer case rebuild. It also has new paint; and since then, it has been sitting in the garage.
The interior is cloth fabric on the doors to match the seats. The seats are of a fairly new foreign vehicle that had the right look to fit the truck. It has a new dash pad that goes with the truck. It has a nice stereo system.
I know whoever wins this truck will be getting a truck of their dreams. They seldom come around for sale in this great of condition. The person who built this truck put a lot of thought into performance and detail. This truck is a good #1 truck.
This is an "AS IS" Sale - no returns. Buyer handles all shipping costs. Email me with any questions. Serious bidders only.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
GM will no longer remove parts from trucks to calculate curb weights
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Following last week's mild uproar after it was discovered that Ford and General Motors were removing some optional parts from their pickups to lower the curb weight and consequently increase the maximum payload, GM has come out and committed to a base curb weight for its upcoming Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact trucks (although it has yet to publish them) and its current Silverado and Sierra. The company will do the same for its heavy duty offerings, although those numbers have not been finalized yet.
"This will make our curb weight and payload specs more consistent with those of most other truck makers, making it easier for customers to compare vehicles," GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog in an emailed statement.
As GM notes - and as every manufacturer has noted since this story broke - customers still shouldn't take max payload ratings as gospel. Instead, they should refer to their truck's Tire and Load Label, like the one shown at the inset, which will offer detailed information on max payload, specific to their truck.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra first pickups to ace updated NHTSA tests [w/video]
Tue, 20 Aug 2013General Motors has just become the first pickup truck manufacturer to receive five-star overall vehicle scores in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's New Car Assessment Program. The updated safety standards, which went into effect in 2011, are more strenuous than the previous NHTSA curriculum and involve collecting both more and more substantial data, reflecting the improved safety inherent in newer vehicles. This feat is made more impressive by the fact that both Ford and Ram have released brand-new trucks since the new testing went into effect - GM's victory is no technicality.
The rating only applies to the redesigned, light-duty Silverado, Sierra and their upmarket variants, High Country and Denali, respectively, while only Crew Cab variants were tested. Considering that the four-door body style will make up 60 percent of GM's light-duty truck sales, the exclusion of the other variants seems reasonable.
This news is sure to be yet another feather in GM's pickup-oriented cap. Be sure to scroll down for video of the crash testing, as well as the full press release from General Motors.
