Vehicle Description
This 1988 GMC 2500 4x4 pickup is finished in brilliant silver
metallic. Some of the subtle modifications include a cowl-induction
hood, chrome bed rails and LED taillights. The interior is almost
entirely new, with a few custom touches. Loaded with options,
including air conditioning, power windows, power locks and a tilt
wheel. The original AM/FM/cassette stereo system remains in place,
along with some strategically placed speakers throughout the cab.
Motivation comes from a very stout 421ci V8 that started out as a
400ci small block and was bored and stroked to better emulate the
performance of a muscle car. It has a big Holley carburetor, an
Edelbrock Air Gap intake manifold that replaces the wheezing
original TBI setup and a set of Brodix Track 1 aluminum cylinder
heads. The dress-up parts have a satin black finish. A set of
shorty headers dump into a true dual exhaust that give it a
suitably sporty tone, and the 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission
offers an overdrive range for easy cruising, yet still retains the
rugged off-road 4x4 hardware that was originally installed. Shiny
18" chrome wheels wear large BFGoodrich radial tires and round out
the look of this pickup, which also has a spray-in bed liner.
CARFAX shows manufacturer safety recall issued on 03/01/1993:
