*dtlilly* · 01-26-2004, 01:26 AM

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.
