Hey Guys and Gals,
VEHICLE & MOTOR:
I have a '76 GMC Seirra Grande with I believe is a blown 350ci motor and 350 turbo tranny. Edelbrock intake, edelbrock valve covers, and headers. Truck ran fine 1 week ago then the owner said he heard some knocking and the truck turned off. I cant get it to even crank over. Im not a mechanic by any means. I checked the dip stick and theres no water in the oil. I have not tried to manually turn the motor yet. There is no oil leaking from the bottom of the motor either. So I dont really know whats wrong.
INTERIOR:
Clean, new carpet throughout and professionally done. Rather new bench seat, not sure if it is factory, though I dont think it is. Looks great though, no rips or tears. 4x4 on the floor hi and lo. rubber boot around the shifter is like new. Dash is very clean, normal blemishes for a almost 30 year old vehicle. 1 crack in the dash approximately 6 inches long. Barely noticeable. 1 window handle missing. Sliding rear window in awsome shape. No cracks on any of the windows. Inside door panels look worn but not beat up. The inside was professionally painted lime green. Overall this truck inside is clean and crisp!!! Definetley an 8 out of 10!!
EXTERIOR:
The Body is in wonderful shape. No dents or repairs from what I can see. I did notice that when they painted the truck lime green that they sprayed over some bubbly parts maybe rust. Im not sure. But its not a problem at all. Have to look really close to tell. The paint is in great new condition. A couple scrathes here and there. Nothing bad at all. The tires are 31" BFG's on American Racing Chrome rims. Very nice. One rim does have a few rust spots but hardly noticeable. The hood is in like new condition as is basically the entire truck. Tailgate works awesomely with no problems whatsoever. All decals are on truck and overall I give the outside an 8 of 10!!
Im looking to get $1700 for the truck as is. Maybe you'll find out the motor is not blown and you have a steal. I paid $1500 for the truck and I just dont have the time to mess with the motor or replace it. Full tank of Gas, this truck is a keeper!!!
I am open to trades of equal value with items such as waverunners, jet skis, small fishing boat, smaller truck in good condition that runs well or pay the $1500 for the installation of my Central Air in my house. Thankx guys and if you have any questions, email me or write me here.
