1989 GMC K1500 SLE - almost everything is new/rebuilt

Turbo Dog · September 23, 2015

I have owned this truck for about 15 years. It started out as a daily driver, then work changed to a travel position and it went to the airport once a month. About 5 years ago I bought another truck so this one doesn't get driven much anymore. It is very dependable, just look at the list of what has been done to it while I owned it. I used to make my living as an ASE certified Master Automotive Technician, and then I went on to do development work for GM at the Desert Proving Ground. I have all the receipts for the work that has been done. I can help with shipping if you live in a different part of the country. This is a solid RUST FREE truck.

350 engine out of a 1994 K1500 with about 140K miles on it.
The transmission was already rebuilt when I bought the truck.
Rebuilt transfer case
Rebuilt rear end - new gears, new bearings, new limited slip diff, new axels, new brakes, new drums and hardware - all that was kept was the housing and brake backing plates
Tires were put on last year, Firestone Destination A/T with only about 1000 miles on them
New spare tire and custom bed mount
All the computer sensors on the engine have been replaced
New alternator, not rebuilt
New Starter, not rebuilt
New water pump, not rebuilt
All the engine rotating items have been replaced except the power steering pump
Right side wheel bearing and ball joints
New Optima red top battery
Custom made front bumper with a receiver hitch and .120" wall DOM tubing

The down side...the paint is the typical peeling paint for that year. Sand it off an put on a new coat, the body is nice and straight. Only things that don't work are the AC and cruise control.

$3800.00

So far the only offer I have gotten was to trade the truck for a dirt bike...already have 4 motorcycles so I don't need another. So it's still for sale

I'm wondering if I put a new paint job on it if someone would like to buy it...but of course it would cost more.

Personally I would leave it as is. How does the frame and underside look? Is there rust? You may want to add some pictures from underneath and under the hood as well.

The truck is rust free and clean underneath. I've been out on the road working but I can email more pictures if you want them. Other than my phone my only Internet connection is at work and for some reason they are now blocking this site.
