New guy here with 77 GMC Sierra "LRP"
« on: January 21, 2013, 08:04:18 pm »
Just thought I'd stop in and introduce myself and my new truck. Just bought her saturday, its a 77 GMC Sierra "LRP"....I had no clue what the LRP meant at first but after a little research I found that it stands for "Leisure & Recreational Prducts". These lrp guys worked with GM and created the "lrp package" which from what ive found consisted of a custom paint job, some were like a desert or canyon scene, and i guess they did alot of stuff with the conversion vans.. Anyway this truck I bought has been re-painted so I have no clue which custom paint job it came with. It does have dual tanks still which may have been part of that package......But anyway the truck is beautiful I could not pass it up. It had been sitting in a garage for the past 12 years after a frame off restoration. The guy I bought it from had copys of the title from the previous 2 owners and since 1999 it has only been driven 6,000 miles. It has the original 400, numbers match, 6'' lift with 35'' bfg's, cowl hood and more.... One thing I couldnt believe is that the dash is not cracked anywhere, I have never seen that before. The coolest thing about all of this is that the guy had a glove box full of stuff such as the owners manual still in mint shape, the original warranty brochure from 77, a brochure on the LRP package, and even a brochure from general tire for the oem tires it came with.... Unfortunely I had to give the guy the money and leave it at his house untill this friday when I can afford to get it on the road ( I have the title), so for me friday cant come soon enough I cant wait to drive it I will be taking my 2004 silverado off the road and putting this one on lol.....anyway here's some photos. I plan on taking the cap off most of the time, kinda makes it look like a grandpa truck with it on there....

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
