71 GMC 4X4 Short Bed For Sale
I never thought this day would come, but I'm putting O'Reb up for sale to the board, and ebay if it doesn't sell here. I am going to go into GREAT detail describing the good, the bad, and the ugly about this truck, so PLEASE READ EVERYTHING, as it will describe everything I can tell you about it. If you need additional pictues let me know, I do not want to hide anything, and want the buyer to be as pleased as I have been with the truck. The truck and all extras are sold as a package deal, do not want to sell seperate. Please note all the extras included with the deal, as I have accumulated a lot of extra parts to finish or supplement the restoration of this truck. Asking price is $2900.
The Truck 1971 GMC 4X4 Short Bed. The frame # matches the vin # matches the # (wrong Super Cheyanne glove box door and data sticker) on clear title in my name. 350ci/th-350/np-205. This truck was originally a short fleet side , but I liked the short step better. I include many options that will allow you to turn this truck in to a Sierra Grande if you so decide. The 3/4 ton springs have been recurved and give about 4-5" of lift without blocks. 16.5" aluminum rims with 33" all terrains. PS, PB. Many, many extras are included (read everything). This truck runs very strong and is built to perform in the toughest conditions. Asking price is $2900 The Motor Done prior to my purchase, has less than 2000 miles on complete rebuild. I have no documentation but believe everything to be true and correct that this motor has been done right and everything stated is true. I have previous owners info to contact. The motor has not been touched by me, and still looks and runs like a high performance machine. (see pictures). It has definately been taken apart, rebuilt, and painted prior to installation. It has a nice lope to the idle from the hotter cam. 350 block, 4 bolt main, bored 30 over 10:1 compression flat top pistons and new rods Lunati 268* cam 87-95 300hp heads with hardened seats and valves Weiland dual plane aluminum intake Holly 750 carb with manual choke Hooker headers Electronic ignition distributor MSD Blaster 2 external coil MSD 6A ignition New fuel pump New starter New water pump New 5 blade fan Boiled out rodded 4 core radiator The Drive Line Done prior to my purchase (except NP-205), has less than 2000 miles on complete rebuild.

There is no repair to steering sector section. The truck drives straight and clean with no dog tracking. The frames original engine cradle was cut out by a previous owner to allow a deep sump oil pan clearance. A piece of stock was welded in the cut out area below the motor mounts. I have a replacement 1/2 ton engine cradle to replace the fabricated one. The motor mounts were fabricated and welded to the old cradle, and the replacement will allow for original small block motor mounts to be used.

71 4X4
This is a picyure of the motor after a light cleaning. It still has evidence of muddy water that splashed up and hasn't been cleaned. This is not a quick repaint, all I did was wipe things down.

Original Short Fleet 4X4
Here is a picture of the driver side rust in the floor. Fiberglass was used to try and repair the holes, as well as sheet metal. As I said in description, the cab (in my opinion needs replaced), but I have a clean A/C cab included.

71 GMC Shoet Bed 4X4
No picture of a GMC is complete without showing the front grille. Notice the new bushings in the 3/4 ton recurved springs. Front bumper is 71-72 Chevy, and buyer elects to keep, or I will remove.
There is more rust there than in picture, look close and you can see it. Last edited by dtlilly; 01-26-2004 at 01:48 AM. |

Extra Wheels For The 4X4
The rims and tires I got when I bought the truck are also included. The cool looking rims and tires on the truck were bought from a board member in late 2003 and come with the purchase.

71 4X4 GMC
This is a picture of the short step side bed and the 71 A/C cab I bought from board member jacquesdean (Jock), who owns a powder blasting shop in Alabama. The bed is on the truck and the cab is included with the purchase. Both have been aluminum oxide blasted to bare metal, then etching primer used to prepare for whatever paint you decide.

Buy This Rare Short Bed 4X4
This is a picture of the included front clip I am getting from Ozark Hippy. The Chevy hood on the truck is not included, but the hood on this front clip will go with the whole deal. More good fenders here (passenger side has messed up marker light in it).

WELL worth the money IMO. Somebody is gonna get a steal on that. I wish it was me, I've been sitting here trying to figure out how I can afford it, but haven't come up with anything yet. Can you hold it till I get my taxes done?

Trucks For Sale
I'll be sending you a PM. I hate to be doing this, but my C-30 is also going to be sold soon. I may have to move to Milwaukee Wisconsin to take care of my mother and I'll have no place to keep them up there.

If this was April, I'd be bringing my trailer to the truck show in Pigeon Forge. A little trip west on the way home is all it would take.

I'm interested, how about detail pics of the extra cab. What kind of rust did it have? Do you still have the fleetside bed?

Barrza, I can get pics of the extra cab Thursday AM. It's a manual tranny A/C cab. The cab supports are real good as are the window frames, kick panel areas and fire wall area that usually rusts. The only rust is rockers, minimal floor next to rockers, and might need corners. It's a low hump cab.
Where in N. Alabama are you? I was down to Sneed then across Wheeler Dam on the way to Killen, then 72 back to Memphis. |
