Up for auction is a Classic GMC Sierra Grande 15 Hundred! This was the top of the line for the 1/2 ton pickups of GMC back in 1973. Detailed Model InformationGeneral Motors' Chevrolet and GMC,C/K-Series pickups débuted in 1972 for the 1973. Development of the new third-generation trucks began in 1968, four years prior to production in 1972, with vehicle components undergoing simulated testing on computers, before the first prototype pickups were even built for real world testing. The redesign was revolutionary in appearance at the time, particularly the cab, departing from typical American pickup truck designs of the era. Aside from being near twins, the Chevrolet and GMC pickups looked like nothing else on the road. As a result, the third-generation trucks are officially known as the "Rounded-Line" generation. Some people may refer to them as "square bodies", given that the trucks appear square-like when compared to more modern automotive design standards.GM's design engineers fashioned the "Rounded-Line" exterior in an effort to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, using wind tunnel technology to help them sculpt the body. Third-generation design traits include "double-wall" construction, sleek sculpted body work, flared secondary beltline and an aerodynamic cab which featured rounded doors cutting high into the roof and steeply raked windshield featuring an available hidden radio antenna embedded into the glass. The Rounded-Line generation ultimately ran for a lengthy 15 model years (1973–1987). This was the first year. Detailed Condition Information Engine and Transmission: The vehicle has plenty of power and the noise of the 350 gives it some swagger. The transmission shifts as it should and was recently rebuilt. Odometer works and it reads as, "24901". I am assuming that its actually 124,901 but that is merely an assumption.Body: The Body is only in fair shape but appears to be the original color. It may have been a two tone with a white band down the sides which could be restored in that way. There is bubbles and rust in several areas of quarter panels and along the bottom of the sheet metal. This could be cut out and restored, roughed up and painted over with some bondo or kept as is. The original owner planned to rough up the paint and put on a glossy coat of black before selling.Title: The title is a clear State of Nevada Title. I believe that the truck would be exempt from smog in California because of the year.Brakes; The brakes work fine. No known leaks of any fluids. Fluids have not needed to be filled up for many months.Interior: Interior is in fair condition and could use a good cleaning from the dust.Glass: Glass appears to be in good condition with no known problems.A/C: A/C is not hooked but the system is in place and can be restored.Radio: The radio works and it is an upgrade from the original.Electrical. Lights and heater work. Tires are very good with only 500 miles on them. Battery is brand new and I installed it yesterday as a gift to the winning bidder.I am describing this vehicle to the best of my ability.
