My new truck - '76 GMC High Sierra K15
I bought a new truck yesterday!
It's a 1976 GMC High Sierra K15 shortbed stepside. It was custom ordered with a 400cid small block, 4x4 automatic transmission, Posi, AC, PS, PB, dual exhaust, dual batteries, dual gas tanks, tach+gauges. It was a garage-kept one-owner truck and only has 74,000 miles. The original owners manual was in the glove box, and it came with the original sales invoice and a folder full of maintenance receipts. I love it! |

Re: My new truck - '76 GMC High Sierra K15
Here's the original invoice for the truck. It's so cool to have this part of its history.
Anyone know what the "10-15 M/S (5)" is all about in the options list? |

Re: My new truck - '76 GMC High Sierra K15
I was sorta surprised to find the SPID in the glove box and not under the hood. Also strange that the "10-15" stuff shows up three times on there.

Re: My new truck - '76 GMC High Sierra K15
I noticed it parked in front of a business near my house for the last month or more, and I had been meaning to stop in and ask about it. Then on Tuesday afternoon I saw it parked on the main road with a sale sign in it so I stopped to check it out. I went back at 7:45am Wednesday morning with cash in hand, took it for a test drive, made an offer, and drove it home.

Re: My new truck - '76 GMC High Sierra K15
I feel like I stole it because it was less than the original sale price.

Pretty awesome to find a truck in that sort of condition. What are your plans with it? The only major thing I could think to change would be to swap on a set of 15x8 factory steel wheels. |

Re: My new truck - '76 GMC High Sierra K15
It looks much better without the "Extend-A-Mirror" brackets.
Can anyone tell me if these are factory mirrors? |

Re: My new truck - '76 GMC High Sierra K15
Those look like the reproduction Ford style mirrors to me.
