Highly-Optioned 1977 GMC High Sierra Short Bed

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

The High Sierra trim was one of the nicer trim levels available for ’77 GMC Pickups. This example came with loads of upgrades and features including dual electric horns, heavy-duty springs,  a chain-driven transfer case, gas tank skid plates, and many other items. The third-generation trucks offered far more ergonomic interiors and were GMC’s entry into the square-bodied truck market of the ’70s. This High Sierra is offered for auction on eBay. Bidding ends November, 29th.

This High Sierra is a reportedly rare color combination of two-toned colonial yellow over a buckskin interior. The exterior appears to be in excellent condition, though the seller notes some minor flaws are present in the paint and the windshield is cracked. The truck is equipped with a chrome package, a sliding rear window, and a winch and is a short-bed model. With some minor work, the exterior of the truck could be like new.

The High Sierra’s interior appears to be in decent condition. The cloth seat is finished in factory Buckskin and the door panels are finished in a matching vinyl with wood and embellished metal accents. The dash appears to be free of cracks. However, the owner notes that some of the gauges no longer function. The cabin also has factory air conditioning and a cassette tape.

The seller did not include engine bay photos but did note that the pickup is powered by a 350ci 5.7l GM Goodrich engine. Power is sent to all four wheels via a turbo 400 transmission. The truck is said to have had the transmission and torque converter rebuilt less than 200 miles ago. The truck is a great driver perfect for anyone who wants to further modify and perfect it, or just enjoy it in its current condition. If you want to be this High Sierra’s next owner submit your bid on eBay.

    Nice High Sierra Sara. Well optioned, like the paint too from this era. Manual hubs, dual tanks was a surprise on a short box regular cab configuration. 350 replacing the stock 400 is no problem, however no working gauges is.

    It looks great at first glance, but the paint prep looks more than a bit shoddy. Done right, this configuration of square body should be like printing money. Hopefully potential buyers take the time to pay it a visit before bidding so they can determine its condition first hand.
