1971 GMC K1500 Stepside

1971 GMC Sierra 1500 K1500 Additional Info:

Bought via a dealer from the estate of original owner (farmer) in arid eastern Washington state in 2012. All original, numbers-matching rare 4x4 long-bed step side. I executed a complete drive train (engine, transmission, transfer case, brakes, new tires) rebuild in 2013. Edelbrock intake and carb installed at rebuild for better performance (original parts retained and will come with truck). Dual exhaust with stainless mufflers. All glass replaced, interior completely restored to original specs with added sound barrier insulation. Exterior unrestored and maintains original patina. 7000 miles since rebuild. Fully loaded for the time: power steering, power disc brakes, turbo hydra-matic auto trans, 373 ratio rear axle, factory a/c, AM radio (I added MP3 port), camper mirrors. Original and working Warn winch. Minor corrosion beginning at step/rear fender joints and driver-side rocker panel (see photos). Passenger side rocker replaced during rebuild. Truck drives like new, strong and smooth with zero creaking.
