Rustiest best 50$ deal ever - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gmc.guy · 11-16-2015, 08:25 PM

Picked up this 77 sport last month. I chained the truck down like I usually would but it took 7 straps to hold the body to the frame after that!

I got 4 nice rallies with rings and gmc caps, the red dash, red rubber floor mat, vinyl seat were mint, tilt column. I also got the sport light bar with harness and switch(maybe hard to come by), a tach dash, and a 12 bolt(unknown ratio, haven't looked yet). And some other bits

Frame and body were wasted but the exhaust was almost usable. Haha
Pics on their way (wish I took more as always)

Damn I never thought I would see a Sport so close to me haha I'm down in Calgary and never even seen one listed in the provincial classifieds

Gmc.guy · 11-16-2015, 11:21 PM

I seen a 4x4 once. Haha. This was a gmc too

pistonbroke800 · 11-17-2015, 12:04 AM

That's a crazy amount of rust! That thing musta been from out east or something. Sweet score on the parts though

Gmc.guy · 11-17-2015, 12:22 AM

It had a foot of leaves in it. Windows down part way. It was registered last in 87 I figure it sat since then.

enaberif · 11-17-2015, 12:34 AM

You can ship me that light bar sir! :P

Gmc.guy · 11-17-2015, 12:41 AM

If you want it you can have it. Lol. The truck didn't come from our east. It actually came from Whitecourt I bought it near Rocky Mountain house I brought it back up here it seems. Haha

That is quite the journey for that truck!

Got any pictures of that light bar?

Gmc.guy · 11-17-2015, 01:07 AM

Not handy but I'll try to snap a couple tomorrow

80SPORT · 11-17-2015, 01:25 AM

The bar/switch/harness are very rare.COPO 9J9.
Did it have the SPID sticker;also the build sheet may be under the seat.
GM vintage can do a build report and tell you where it was sold new.
I have a 77 but it is a black stepside.

E.D.75GMC · 11-17-2015, 01:26 AM

Those appear to be original shock absorbers in the last picture!

Gmc.guy · 11-17-2015, 01:36 AM

The spid was faded bad enough that could not be read I looked for the sheet but wasn't there The front clip was off for a lot of years Looks like the clip was pulled to swap motor or something and never put back together. I think it had 70 or 80k on it. The steering was tight an the brake pads were like new. Rusted up. Was a nice truck in its day

Gmc.guy · 11-17-2015, 01:41 AM

That's a sweet stepside. I have a 74

Gmc.guy · 11-17-2015, 01:45 AM

Do you know if the front bumper with the rubber pads was a sport thing? I think I have seen them in suburbans but I do not remember seeing them on trucks of these years

Gmc.guy · 11-17-2015, 04:59 PM

Light bar

The 78 thru " 81 Chevy Sport "came standard with a body colored bumper with impact strips.

The 76 and 77 came with chrome bumpers;the impact strips were an option.

You would need the original SPID or the GM option sheet to verify.

We have trucks going thru Whitecourt ...I used to build aluminum jet boats and lots of my customers are up there.

Gmc.guy · 11-18-2015, 01:56 AM

I am not sure I can sell? Or is it I cannot advertise for sale? Sorry I did not read the selling buying code of conduct there. I didn't intend to sell anything. I will for sure look at it. I would just as soon trade or barter than sell. I more than enough got my money out of the truck, and I'm not a greedy person anyways. I did offer to him first but let's see what happens

Rubble · 11-18-2015, 09:27 AM

Too bad mother nature had her way with it,cool truck back in the day.There was a guy in high school that had a similar one like that around 1983. We didn't know at the time they would be collectable 30 some years later.
