1980 GMC Sierra Classic; 4x4, SWB
I just bought this fleetside GMC half ton. The story goes that it has been through a couple of local owners, & been around my area for a bit. I finally convinced the last owner to part with it. It is fairly original (occasional paint work, period correct accessories, big tires, rear bumper appears not stock, etc), complete, numbers matching & everything is there.
According to GM vintage, it is 1 of 1,199 produced for sale in CANADA for 1980. 1 of 351, with YE9, top level Sierra Classic trim 1 of 201, with AV5, high back bucket seats & console (the cloth trim piece on the console cover is still good & something you dont see anymore). 1 of 3, ordered with the 10R-15LT tires. 350 CI, SRW, locking Differential, 4 spd standard, everything except AC. Really nice project truck, but generally speaking, U.S. production is 10x Canadian, so I'm not sure it is all that rare, but nice to have & know. Any thoughts? |

Spent a few hours cleaning it up. Exterior is excellent.

Very clean truck! I'm jealous. What are your plans for it?

Thanks. The true mileage is unknown.

I am so disappointed. I've become emotionally attached! & i believe with its good, low production options that this is a great project. It's all original, everything is there, numbers match, etc. After the original owner passed, apparently it sat in the yard for a couple years, & though its been a daily driver for years now, it needs & deserves more $$ than i want to part with. It really deserves the TLC required to make it good & has a great back story of the local original purchaser. I am going to have to make a decision on what to do next. ![]() |

Re: 1980 GMC Sierra Classic; 4x4, SWB
Indeed. So I know that the math on cost of panels, paint, labour, etc from my list... Is not the end. Harsh realizations!
Needs Beyond usual minor mechanical fix ups & repairs (ie leaky PS), Mostly sheet metal. Floors, inner fenders, bottoms of rear quarters, box possibly, big rust clean up on frame & suspension parts. Sound, but in need of care. Paint. Poss a drive shaft. Sigh... |
