Vehicle Description
Here's a 1972 GMC 1500 Sierra that has been restored to have a
screaming small block V8 and great two-tone paint. While we know
this one will have you instantly interested, once you check out the
affordable price, you'll know this pickup is irresistible.
A vintage GMC 1500 is already a cool idea. After all, you'll always
be welcomed by the GM enthusiasts and truck fans, but it also has a
design that makes it distinctive in a crowd. That idea is amped up
even further on a this freshly restored machine. The sheet metal
looks great. Plus, the custom blue and silver two tone has the kind
of solid investment in highly metallic paints that makes sure
you'll always be proud when you see the sunshine hit this modern
clear coat package. If that wasn't already sporty enough for you, a
bold red pinstripe provides the dividing line around the whole
body. The intimidation factory continues with the forward-leaning
stance, 15-inch wheels, and the power bulge cowl hood. Add in the
extra shine of GMC's larger grille, sport mirrors, and chrome
bumpers, and you have one stellar muscle pickup.
Once you open the door, you can see the full quality in the paint
job by how even the door jambs were properly completed. The
metallic blue continues throughout the interior, and now it's
joined by plenty of dark components. There are some nice updates
like the Grant GT steering wheel, auxiliary gauges, and new
carpeting to keep everything fresh, but we're particularly happy to
see the bench seat remain original. It looks correctly restored so
that the premium western-style texture that came from the factory
is still in place. Another great classic feature is the sliding
rear window. When combined with the side vent glass, you get to
experience the old-school truck breezes through the cab... and it
also gets you closer to the rumble of the dual exhaust.
Under the hood is more signs of a solid investment. Nestled within
the brightly painted engine bay is an aggressive-looking 350
cubic-inch V8. With the blacked-out valve covers, red lettering,
and a matching air topper, this one makes quite a first impression.
But also the bright paint and plenty of shining components tells
you this one is fresh. In fact, there's only about 30 miles on the
small block since it came from VZ Racing Engines. They built this
V8 with a .60 bored over kit, Eagle rods, flat top pistons, port
matched aluminum heads, mild cam, a 9.5 compression (to run good on
93 octane gas), and topped it with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor. Ceramic coated headers add even more power as they
contribute to the thunder of the Dynomax dual exhaust. The full
package is rated around 350 horsepower or more. That's why it's
mated to a TH350 three-speed automatic with a shift kit that was
added when the motor was rebuilt. This feed the stout 12-bolt rear
end running a versatile 3.08 gear. Plus, power steering, front disc
brakes, and Cooper Cobra radials keep this muscle truck riding
easy.
You would expect to pay a lot more for a fully restored truck like
this, and if you're not quick enough to grab this one, you will!
