Make: GMC
Model / series: K15 Sierra Grande long-bed pickup 4×4

Evidence status

Verified exact VIN on the photographed metal GM identification/camper-loading plate and Service Parts Identification label. A separate white federal conformity label is documented, with faint VIN and 04/76 date readings kept qualified; its axle ratings are not established. The SPID establishes the listed original configuration, while present component originality, ownership count and lifetime mileage remain unverified.

Factory documents

The photographed metal GM identification/camper-loading plate and SPID both bear TKL146F739414. A wider door-jamb photograph also shows a separate white GM federal conformity label above the metal identification/camper-loading plate. Its faded printing appears to repeat TKL146F739414 and date 04/76. Those readings remain qualified and are weaker than the clear metal-plate and SPID VIN matches. Exact white-label axle ratings remain unreadable or disputed in the available view; figures from the separate metal plate are not substituted. The SPID identifies TK10903, LS9 350 V8, M20 four-speed manual, H04 4.11 rear axle, Z62 Sierra Grande, ZY3 two-tone, Frost White/Sky Blue paint and blue custom-cloth trim. No build sheet or invoice has been recovered.

Physical vehicle evidence

Restore a Muscle Car and preserved Streetside galleries depict the same long-bed GMC and photograph the metal identification/camper-loading plate and SPID label. A wider door-jamb view also shows the separate white federal conformity label, whose faded variable data are qualified separately. The photographs do not establish that current drivetrain, paint or trim components remain original.

Owner or seller statements

Restore a Muscle Car stock 1226 described one owner and 24,153 miles. Streetside Classics stock 2580-TPA advertised 25,782 miles as believed actual and displayed $21,995 with a SOLD marker. Ownership count and lifetime mileage are unverified; $21,995 is an advertised price, not a disclosed transaction amount.

Later research

The Restore a Muscle Car and Streetside Classics appearances are the same exact-VIN truck. The preserved Streetside gallery pictured a GMC warranty booklet, 1976 manual and maintenance folio naming Crawford Implement Co. in Nebraska, but personalized fields cannot be read reliably. Original dealer detail pages were unavailable in the September 25, 2026 link check.

Open questions

Recover a readable build sheet, invoice or complete paperwork; verify ownership history and lifetime mileage, current component originality, completed sale amount and date, and current custody and location. Resolve the faint white conformity-label VIN/date readings and both white-label axle ratings from a sharper source; do not copy ratings from the distinct metal plate.

Appearance and provenance

Restore a Muscle Car stock 1226 and a separately preserved Streetside Classics stock 2580-TPA gallery depict this same exact-VIN truck. Restore a Muscle Car described one owner and 24,153 miles; Streetside advertised 25,782 miles as believed actual. Those are dealer claims, not verified lifetime mileage or ownership count. The preserved Streetside gallery pictured a GMC warranty booklet, 1976 manual, and maintenance folio naming Crawford Implement Co. in Nebraska; personalized fields are too soft to transcribe reliably. Streetside displayed $21,995 and SOLD, but the amount was an asking price, not a disclosed sale result.
