Well I scored it 85 S15 77,000 miles $200

350X · 08-12-2009, 07:33 PM

Now just to deice to use for parts or fix.

"1985 GMC S-15, 2.8L Automatic/overdrive. Air conditioner, power steering, power break, and only 77,000 miles!

Engine lost oil pressure and spun a rod bearing. The engine has been removed for inspection and repair, and is included with purchase. The truck ran and drove very well."

FarEastDime · 08-12-2009, 09:19 PM

**** ya. thats what im talkin about. nice score bro, you just saved another from goin to a scrap yard

350X · 08-12-2009, 10:06 PM

Can't wait to get my hands on it for good.
Hes gotta haul it over and do title n pay.

If it looks as good as it does in the pics, Im probably gonna hafta fix it.
[didn't want to get to eager to look at stuff and drive up the price.]

And it does blend in well my my two other black GMs.

Take the 2.8 block out of the Firebird to fix the S15, Take the 350X out of the wagon and put into the Bird, then pick up a good running 455 for the wagon.

As with only the bird and the wagon, the swap would of never worked as id end up with only 1 car. [2.8 T5 would of never went into the wagon easy.] but with the S15, I can swap engines around and buy very little and have 2 running cars easy.

I love it when a plan comes together

can see the other two

MadMikeZ28 · 08-13-2009, 01:07 AM

Looks very nice and worth fixing from the pics. Its just too bad the bird does not have a 3.1

The truck is begging for a 350 swap..

Just listen for a second...

*please*

See, did you hear that?

hoppy45 · 08-13-2009, 12:40 PM

i heard it too

350X · 08-13-2009, 01:32 PM

And of course that was a copy from the add about the spun bearing.

The condition of the truck looks like an older gent who barley drove it.
Which is what probably caused the problem.

The 2.8 in my Firebird is well over 220,000 and moves quiet well.
The T5 n stock 3:42s help that. But Im done fed up with the MPFI computer stuff. Just a money pit once it goes funky. Did got 7 years of reliable trans out of it though. [as of now a new ECM that lasted 2 weeks, with now a constant strobe flashing SES light with no cure in sight.]

350X · 08-13-2009, 02:10 PM

Well Im worried now.
Its been a game of phone n email tag dealing with the seller.
I finally ogt him on the phone n it sounds like a spazed out punk kid.
Maybe just nervous but couldn’t complete one thought.
Or member anytihng I said in the emails, like telling and giving him a map to my house. If I made a baseless judgment on all that, id think he was a crack head.

Send your wishful thought this way plz.

For a while I used to think fyi was fuck you idoit. I could not understand why my mom of all people was saying that too me.

Good luck with the crack baby. If it were a running truck I would not buy it from that type of person because if he worked on it you inherit his crap work. Be sure to carefuly look for his needles as you clean the truck.

jtcfanof3 · 08-13-2009, 04:11 PM

Ya,last Blazer I bought with a spun bearing in it I just swaped in a 350 !!!
LOL
This is what ya do with a 2.8!

350X · 08-13-2009, 05:00 PM

The town, city, his place n all are upper class people with money and brains in a rural setting. Which means if he’s one of the cool kids he has access to the best of the best of the worst stuff. He is also in college, which just gives even more access.

I’m gonna try to get to talk to the guy who is gonna bring it.
Since it all balances on him right now on when it shows up.
As is I offered to pay $50 to bring it over, when it would be like $36 by his $1.25mi. Make sure he knows he get $50 and can maybe find out what the deal is, and what he thinks.

could just be a skittish kid or one on dope and not the good kind.

So he could be one of those that I see a lot of that may have book smarts but no common sense/street smarts. You know the kind of student that thinks the drinking age should be lowered so their binge drinking is then legal. Can come up with all types of reasons saying there are no studies and that dope and other drugs are good for you.

350X · 08-14-2009, 11:32 PM

Ok party like its 2011
[ it was 1999 as Y2k we were all suppose to die, so it 2011 now as 2012 is the next dooms day.]

Just a young nervous kid calling me sir all the time.
Geese I’m not that old dude.

But gonna get it tomorrow around 9am.

As I had done washed my hands of it kinda.
If it was meant to be he would track me down and he did.

Plus sneaky bastard I am had his add flagged for spam so no one else could see it. Ohhh I know thats bad, don't ban me. Its like shile biddin on ebay but its not my fault Craig will let any anonymous goof get a add taken down without proof.

What a turd you are.

But hell, its craigs and some one else would have flagged for no reason except they have nothing better to do and it makes them feel powerful.

But we will be expecting more and better pics at 9:01 am.

now its the waiting game. she has to sell too, shes movin...

350X · 08-15-2009, 01:52 AM

Hehehehehe if I could get auctions on ebay hidden so no one else would bid, id do it too

But Im like so jazzed, feels like xmas.
Don't think Ill be getting much if any sleep tonight.

This will be my first truck.

Speaking of ebay, wish I had a bit more brians a few years back [not such a penny watcher] when they had new GM 2.8 crates for $200 shipped. Some guys got them for $50 .

gbirdsall · 08-15-2009, 03:30 AM

i just use a sniper for ebay it places your bid in the last 4 seconds of the auction

And when she finally comes to you to sell because no one else wanted it offer even less!

That where I was ok on nuking the add, I gave him what he wanted.
My only problem would of been someone offering more or being closer.

MadMikeZ28 · 08-15-2009, 04:22 PM

Its well past 9:01am....I don't see more and better pics. Whats up with that!

Oh and, by any chance are you one of those type of guys that use a craigs flagger or something?

350X · 08-15-2009, 04:45 PM

Well my camera phone wouldn't do any better on pics.

Its a Gypsy model too.

Any chance there is a place to dowwnload the manual for this truck, free?

You can find them all over the place for motorcycles.

Im thinking right now that ill do the carb and junk swap into the Firebird and get that set up running well then change the motor over to the S15.
I don't want to run into any snags along the way.

350X · 08-15-2009, 06:34 PM

So fomr searching the Gypsy option is just a bit more fancy?

Does have buckets n center console, front spoiler, sliding rear window,
factory tinted windows.

3:42 gears which is nice.

MadMikeZ28 · 08-15-2009, 09:15 PM

Not sure but I think the Gypsy is just GMC version of the Tahoe. Same package just different name for obvious reasons.

Its sort of I mean no offence gay the way it has Gypsy on the glove box cover in different odd colors. It does not scream style or upgrade. I can see them being all painted black or red.....

jtcfanof3 · 08-16-2009, 12:30 AM

I love the GYPSY model,pretty unique I think,matter fact I love the fender emblems I bought a couple NOS ones off ebay just to stick on my tool box!

Alanky · 08-16-2009, 12:42 AM

Good score. Theres potential there! If you ever decide to sell those seats let me know! Those are the original seats that were in my S-10. Been looking for a set for years.

Nope I odn't have any such badges.
Regular S15 in red with a letter box under it.
Almost looks like it did say GMC GYPSY or GMC something under the S15 but its gone on both sides.

350X · 08-16-2009, 05:04 AM

Guess Im gonna hafta spend a whole $10 n order a chiltons

TIll then, what the little round gasket for in the intake gasket pic?

http://info.rockauto.com/Fel-Pro/Det...S91022_TOP.jpg

The felpro kits cost $7 more as it has that n the other doesn't.

rockauto sure does have some cheap prices on parts.
Can get a new air dam with the fog light cut outs for only $17
That usually a $50+ part min. Could be used on many cars.
Measure them sucker up and sell em to Hondas or what ever owners for triple cost.

MadMikeZ28 · 08-16-2009, 05:32 AM

That round gasket looks to be the o-ring for the dizzy.

Its a homo truck!
I bet the last owner took those letters off so he would not be mistaken as a homo.

$28 from the dealer... so $17 is still a good price -if it's the stock part.

What I thought, Ill save $7 n get my own 50cent O-ring.

jtcfanof3 · 08-16-2009, 03:21 PM

Ive also got the emblem from the glove box,it says GYPSY in those colors as well.

350X · 08-16-2009, 04:33 PM

Ok here are some pics, best I could do.

jtcfanof3 · 08-16-2009, 04:47 PM

I have this emblem:

Someone may have swapped fenders at some point.

350X · 08-16-2009, 05:06 PM

Don't know if it would be on the RPO sheet but maybe the OO told the dealer to put the regular S15 bages on it over the homo ones or no deal

Or even a factory mistake.

I know a guy who bought a not a s10 but one level higher from an OO and it was suppose to be a 4.3 truck but they put in a left over 3.4, he still had the papers from GM to have it taken back in and change but he never did it.

OO=original owner

jtcfanof3 · 08-16-2009, 05:13 PM

LOL at the gay coments!
I dunno,its just different,I didnt put my badges on my truck,just on my tool box!

MadMikeZ28 · 08-16-2009, 06:20 PM

I used to save the old left over emblems and stick them on my tool bax as well. Never had one with the colors of the homo rainbow though.

OP,
I want to see more of the Fire chicken. I like the hatch. Seen them a few times but never really any feedback on how they were. Did it take away from headroom for passengers in the back?

jtcfanof3 · 08-16-2009, 06:53 PM

MIKE!
NOT HOMO colors!
LOL

No it has no effect on head room but I treat it like a 2 seater as is.
Though I do keep 1 rear seat bottom installed for a possiable 3rd.
Seat behind me is for my 12in sub. Also a ton lighter, the rear looks jacked up now when it use to sit level.

You can see lots of pics n junk here
http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/v6...-all-over.html

So far I have never found one just like it.
Same deal though, craigs list ubar deal I snagged up fast.

If I knew you could get them airdams so cheap, I may of tired fitting one of them on the back to help hide the underside but the inverted wing has worked out well, it will stay that way for now. But one of them airdams with fog light holes would of done nice to help hide the junk under the car in the rear and give two nice exhaust ports.

The rear mounted tach is one of the mods that brings up the most debate but it does it job as intended plus more.....

jtcfanof3 · 08-16-2009, 08:03 PM

Sell me that sweet tach!

350X · 08-16-2009, 08:09 PM

Yea, that tach is about as rare as the notchback.
Not easy to find and took me a few years to get one.

jtcfanof3 · 08-16-2009, 08:13 PM

IS that your vid of it in the wagon on youtube?

350X · 08-16-2009, 08:28 PM

No I don't have any utube vids.

here is the evloution of said rear mounted tach, see the post dates n see its been a long road.

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/el...ight-mods.html

Back to the S15, just looking over my paper work.

The kid was given the truck at 76,596

I bought it and it now has 76,606

Just like he said, he only got to drive it about 10 miles

As is I offered to pay $50 to bring it over, when it would be like $36 by his $1.25mi. Make sure he knows he get $50 and can maybe find out what the deal is, and what he thinks. could just be a skittish kid or one on dope and not the good kind. So he could be one of those that I see a lot of that may have book smarts but no common sense/street smarts. You know the kind of student that thinks the drinking age should be lowered so their binge drinking is then legal. Can come up with all types of reasons saying there are no studies and that dope and other drugs are good for you.

That where I was ok on nuking the add, I gave him what he wanted. My only problem would of been someone offering more or being closer.

Its a Gypsy model too. Any chance there is a place to dowwnload the manual for this truck, free? You can find them all over the place for motorcycles. Im thinking right now that ill do the carb and junk swap into the Firebird and get that set up running well then change the motor over to the S15. I don't want to run into any snags along the way.

Does have buckets n center console, front spoiler, sliding rear window, factory tinted windows. 3:42 gears which is nice.

Same package just different name for obvious reasons.

It does not scream style or upgrade. I can see them being all painted black or red.....

Nope I odn't have any such badges. Regular S15 in red with a letter box under it. Almost looks like it did say GMC GYPSY or GMC something under the S15 but its gone on both sides.

Can get a new air dam with the fog light cut outs for only $17 That usually a $50+ part min. Could be used on many cars. Measure them sucker up and sell em to Hondas or what ever owners for triple cost.
