1977 GMC Sierra Classic 4x4 Restored

1977 GMC Sierra 1500 Deluxe Chrome Description

This is the last year of the non-catalytic California 1/2 Ton Heavy Duty GMC / Chevrolet 4x4 Pickup Trucks. If you are a California bidder you can bid with confidence as this truck is 100% smog legal and just passed its emissions test and is California licensed through November of 2018. It has a new 350 cid engine from S&J Engines Inc. of Spokane, WA - "Built To Improve, Not Just Replace". I urge you to look them up online to appreciate the quality of their engines. Note: this engine is still within the recommended break-in period. As such, it is still running on break-in oil, which will need replacing before driving long distances or in demanding conditions. A partial list of the new components installed within the last 330 miles includes the following: 350 cid Engine (long block), Quadra-jet Carb, all fan belts, all rubber hoses, alternator, distributor, coil, ignition module, battery, water pump, fuel pump, cruise control, master cylinder, front rotors, brake pads, rear drums, rear brake shoes, rear wheel brake cylinders, steering box, turn signal switch, fuel tank transfer solenoid valve, complete dual exhaust, back-up camera & monitor with warning beeper, weather stripping throughout. New exterior marker & tail lamps. New 1977 Chevrolet Grill ( I apologize to all GMC enthusiasts as I was unable to locate a new 1977 GMC Grill ). New chrome body trim. New hood insulation pad & hood bumpers. The ice cold R-134 air conditioning system is new throughout including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, heater core, and blower motor, including removal of all ducting for complete cleaning. New chrome bumpers front & rear ( rear step bumper has integral high intensity back up lights ). New front and rear windshields & rubber seals. New windshield washer system. New GT Brand Mahogany steering wheel. 5 new all terrain tires. New AM/FM/CD/MP3 Radio with Bluetooth & remote control including dual cone high performance front and rear stereo speakers. The original steering wheel and sliding rear window will be included at no cost should the buy want them, as well as a factory service manual.
The automatic transmission, differentials, axles, and transfer case have been opened for inspection, and are in excellent condition and functioning properly. Drive train gaskets and seals have been replaced throughout so there are no leaks. The properly functioning full-time four wheel drive transfer case provides the following operating ranges: Low Lock, Low, Neutral, High, High Lock. This truck is completely solid with no rust damage or pitting anywhere. This truck features the very desirable full instrumentation with large factory tach option. All gauges, electronics and lights are functioning properly. The elevated off-road suspension system was cleaned and inspected with replacement bushings and parts installed as needed. New gas tanks, sending units and lines had been installed prior to my acquisition of this truck. Camera inspection of these tanks indicated them to be extremely clean.
The interior was restored four years ago, so some scratches and imperfections will be found due to the many times it has been entered for completion and repair of the vehicle. ( Had I realized in the beginning that I would eventually decide to do a complete restoration, I would have left the interior restoration for the end of the process ). Nevertheless, it still looks exceptional and even retains its new car smell. The interior features beautiful solid oak door and passenger side dash panels finished in marine grade spar varnish. A dual cup holder accessory which slips into the ash tray is also included. During the restoration, the entire interior was removed down to the metal. The floor received two layers of insulation prior to the carpet installation. A new headliner was installed but subsequently has begun to wrinkle in spots, as can be seen in the photos. The edge piping on the driver's side of the seat has pulled away where the driver enters and exits the cab. Polished Aluminum steps have been installed to allow the occupants to enter and exit, without sliding over the piping, which caused it to pull away in the first place. The seat seam itself is not tearing or opening up. The hazard lights do flash as they should but the hazard switch ( mounted on the steering column ) does not remain engaged without being held in the "ON" position. I have been unable to locate a new switch, so I have fabricated a Velcro strap that can be easily wrapped around the column to hold the switch button in the 'ON" position.
The base coat / clear coat Mahogany Brown Metallic Paint is 6 months old and is spectacular in appearance and quality, costing over $7,000. Receipt and warranty documents for the paint will be provided to the buyer. Original GMC Owner's Manual and Radio Manual will also be provided. In addition, California Emissions and Registration Documentation will also be provided.
All investment documentation may be reviewed by prospective buyers by appointment. The buyer will, be provided with manufacturer warranty papers where available, however, they may not be transferable to the new owner. This vehicle is sold strictly "AS-IS" with no warranty either expressed or implied. There is a $500.00 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of an offer acceptance. The buyer is responsible for paying all shipping costs, however, I will gladly assist the buyer with transport arrangements. I am located near the Los Angeles Harbor and am willing to drive this truck to a shipper in the area for overseas transport.
I encourage bidders to make an appointment to view and drive this vehicle to truly appreciate how nice it is. Call or Text 310-874-0648 to make an appointment or ask questions. I also respond to all eBay messages.
