Thanks for the info. I've been looking at some vehicles lately on ebay. Have yet to bid though.

Apologies to the OP for the derail...

I have no realistic chance to buy this truck but I often bid on trucks just on the chance that it could be bought cheap. I also like to think it is in helpful in keeping our truck values higher.

I've been doing the same thing lately. I know you can buy one of these cheaper than you can build one, but it's still fun to do the build. I'd like to find one in between.

This is a rare one, it will be interesting to see what it bids to.

When I list my truck on ebay, would you please bid it up?

That truck is gee-orgeous!

That one SPID is my '72 K2500 with Z84. I have seen both codes,too. And,I've seen the Sierra Grande listed as a Cheyenne Super...and,I've seen Sierras with Sierra Grande on the SPID. So,kinda hard to ridicule. If it's an original SPID you just have to go by how well the truck matches it. Basicaly,a person with a Sierra that says Sierra Grande on the SPID can add the Grande parts and pass it off as a legitimate Sierra Grande.

I like the 68-70 grilles better. They are the "cleanest" of 67-72. I guess if someone wasn't concerned with 100% correct and preferred the minor difference they would swap. Or,it could be the owner doesn't even know.

16.6k didnt hit reserve yet looks sweet it has to be kinda rare being a g m c is that hugger orange on it ?

srvivor71 · 03-08-2011, 10:18 AM

I bought my truck on E-Bay and ended up with a pretty good deal. I have to say the seller was a little over-optimistic with his fantastic review of the truck and it's history. It has made me very cautious of glowing reviews. I'm also a little leary of sellers with very little history (he's only sold one other item). He doesn't have a lot to lose if he gets a bad review. It's not like someone that makes a living at it and has established a long history of great feedback. They can't afford bad reviews.

Ebay has an option, for $99, to order an independent inspection. That might be worthwhile. If I buy another one there, I would at least look into that. I think the best protection is what I did - to go take delivery of the vehicle personally and not fork over any cash until you have inspected it to your satifaction.

Other than all that, the truck does look really gorgeous (and so does the one he sold last month: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=200572764235)
Good luck bidding on this! If it's all that he says it is, you'll have a great truck!

Love the GMC's, interested on what this brings.

**70shortfleet** · 03-08-2011, 10:42 AM

With the parchment interior, is that correct to have the black seat belts and carpeting?

That came up just a few weeks ago and we somewhat ended up with a consensus that column color, dash pad and space between the dash pad and the windshield matches seat belt color with the only exceptions found were Highlander equipped trucks. My stone-stock Cheyenne Super with build sheet has Parchment interior, tilt-wheel, black dash pad and black seat belts.

My GMC has parchment interior, but the dash pad and carpeting were missing but the outer seat belts are there and they are parchment, how many color combinations did they have with parchment interior?

19seventeeCustom · 03-08-2011, 11:45 AM

wow, what a NICE truck.

I'm curious to see what it brings. I would drive the PISS outta that truck if it were mine.

justin_nelson · 03-08-2011, 04:24 PM

Can anybody tell me what size wheels those are? 17in?

Zoomin · 03-08-2011, 09:45 PM

Up to $18,600.00 and hasn't hit reserve yet. How many SWB GMC SG's in orange will you run across?

**DANTIP** · 03-10-2011, 02:05 PM

$25,100 and hasn't hit the reserve yet. Go Man Go!!!

19seventeeCustom · 03-10-2011, 02:09 PM

up up up,,,,,,,worth every penny

VA72C10 · 03-10-2011, 02:25 PM

Maybe I should paint my super SWB bb orange???

VA72C10 · 03-10-2011, 04:19 PM

Pic for those who want...

Quick question...wonder why the gray paint is above the ac/heater box?

I sent the guy an email about this, here's the response:

That is a factory light sealer that is sprayed around components passing through the firewall.

News to me.

It's hard for me to pay good money for a great truck when the seller feels the need to

**DANTIP** · 03-15-2011, 07:51 PM

FYI, I am told $27,000 will buy it.

I talked to the owner and he told me the same. Overall in my opinion he seemed to be very straight forward. What do you guys think this truck is worth? I know they are worth what we are willing to pay for them, but whats a fair value?

**70cst** · 03-10-2011, 10:53 PM

AS DANTIP said, its over $25,000 with three days to go...how much will this GMC go for?

Just think if this would have had a factory BB
