1982 GMC long stepside UTILITY








Until very recently I worked at a Wrecking Yard in northwestern Washington (State). One day they brought in a 1982 GMC C25 that looked to have a low-profile utility bed on it. I always go look at every square that came in there, ALWAYS...didn't matter how rusted or munched, I looked for interesting/rare parts. It took me a whole trip around this thing to realize it had a wooden bed floor that looked like those in stepsides... waaaaaait a minute, that looks like a GM front bulkhead...(tailgate was down)...closed the tailgate and just about peed all over it instantly. HOLY CRAP! A GMC longbed stepside with utility boxes!!! I found a tag on the front corner of the driver's side box, it was upfitted/converted by company in Seattle, WA. I don't remember the details, but the tag is still there. I talked to one of the parts guys and worked out a deal to buy the back half of the truck. I unbolted the cab and sawzalled the frame where you can see in the pictures. I wanted to clean it, patch up a couple things, and build it into a trailer to tow behind my truck. I had envisioned putting a pop-up camper in it and having one sweet setup for the weekends. Eh, decided to go finish my education first. Projects later.

I don't have the time or the money to take care of this how it deserves. Neither can I store it anywhere. I would like to see this go to someone who appreciates it for the uniqueness and would be interested in either restoring he long stepside bed or keeping the boxes.

Note: The truck was a single fuel tank truck so the driver's side utility box would have to be pocketed like the passenger side is, if used on a dual tank truck. Also the tailgate is in GREAT shape, call it an 8.5/10. No big dents, no cancer, no bad bends.

Asking $500 OBO.
