1989 GMC Sierra 4.3 (Vortec) pick up running on gas. Taxed, MOT'd and cool as you like. Basic spec, no fancy shizzles like electric windows etc but makes it all the better in my opinion. Off hand without looking it's done about 170,000 miles which is naff all for a relaxed old plodder like this! Vinyl bench seat with two 'normal' and one lap belt. LHD of course, alllegedly used to belong to Texas Animal Rescue. White with reflective blue stripe. Starts first crack and is a joy to drive with it's lovely sounding engine, slick autobox and road presence! I find it much nicer to drive than the GMC Suburban I had before it and despite it's size it's easy to drive. It only runs on gas, NOT petrol and NOT diesel. Yes, it DOES start in all weathers and so far seems very good on gas too, which is about 50p per litre by the way. Huge 300litre tank mounted to the bed but still loads of room for stuff you might want to pick up. Chrome wheels with near new tyres, cd player and power steering etc. No history. Known faults: crack in top right corner of windscreen but have found a place you can get one. Not got any worse since I've had it but you need to know about it. Radiator was leaking (pin hole) but has been filled over and whilst it looks rubbish it's only just dripped a little so far, and have sourced another one at a good price. Paint ok but not brilliant, appears that the bodywork is galvanised and it's a nice solid truck. You could look on it as a blank canvass anyway I suppose. If I keep it I'll get it resprayed in some lurid colour or other! Any inspection invited, I don't bite and genuine viewers etc are welcomed. *Apologies for rubbish pictures, will get some better ones and post them up soon as. *NOW *£1750* Truck is near Chester, Cheshire. VERY close to M53/A41/A55/M56/A483/A5 and easy reach of M6 North and South.

Interior photos? What's the length of it? Seems massive but also fits in a normal parking space in that last photo?

Will get other pics asp, probably weekend now unfortunately due to work and not being around truck when it's light. Bed is very large and still has masses of useable space, will measure up when I can. It has proper eyelets bolted to either side of bed at top to hold stuff down too. It will fit in a normal car parking space, little longer and wider than boring stuff like Hilux and similar though!
Miketdsw: What's a T4 mate? Cheers.

Thanks for the measure, I make that 5.5m, about 1m longer than a Prius! So won't fit on my main drive, wonder if it will fit on the side one. I'll have a measure and let you know.

No worries, measurements might not be 100% incidentally but I think they're about right. Anything else you need to know please just ask, thanks.

Bump and price reduced. I still use this quite a bit and it's still great fun.

well it needs one lol.
I only use the car for the shows so it sit for all of winter. so has not done much as it has rained for the last 2 years of shows.
I know it will need a very small pach of welding inside the door shut ( a post to sill ) its only the size of a 5p.
maybe 1 tyre as it spins big time in the wet and does very good burn outs . pleanty of go out of the 2.2 engine.
but thats about all I think.
also what mot or tax is on your truck ?

Off hand at least four months of each Ozzy. Only thing is I don't need a project at the moment sorry, it'd have to be something on the road (MOT'd etc) as I'm surrounded by vehicles vying for my cash and tme at the moment and I'm supposed to be on a fleet reduction excercise!
