Vehicle Description
With a mean-looking upgraded style, strong V8 power, and the right
added details, this 1988 GMC 1500 is a custom pickup that
understands how to deliver distinction for a value price.
This truck is a mean machine. The upgraded black paint strikes the
right balance where it retains a good gloss in the sunshine, but it
also looks like it won its share of blacktop battles. Yes, you can
use the value price as a base for upgrading some areas, but really
take a look at the full package. The imposing billet grille
surrounded by the blackout treatment, a tall cowl hood, smooth rear
pan, custom taillights, and sleek stepside bed really make this an
intimidating pickup. It even has bright Rally wheels to look like a
muscle car. And the way those painted metallic gray racing stripes
look so good on top of the battle-tested black, it gives this that
same kind of attitude that other people look for on pre-war hot
rods. So yes, this one really has personality.
The tasteful gray interior is a nice choice against the black
exterior. The contoured cloth bench, good headliner, and plush
carpeting make it a good package. There are fun driver-ready
upgrades like the Grant sports steering wheel on the tilt column
and added gauges pod mounted on the A-pillar. Plus, the radio has
been upgraded to AM/FM/CD stereo with modern Bluetooth. The air
conditioning is running on modern R134a refrigerant (it will need
servicing to blow cold again.) But we bet your favorite breezes
will really come from the sliding rear window.
Under the hood is a 5.7-liter V8. This is a younger Jasper crate
motor installed around 2010. It has the right components you want,
like throttle body injection and a large aluminum radiator. This is
mated to a four-speed automatic transmission w overdrive that was
rebuilt in 2018. It makes for a full package that fires up eagerly,
runs well, and shifts smoothly. Power steering, power brakes, front
discs, and those wide Cooper Cobra tires make for an easy everyday
driving pickup.
The sale comes complete with the maintenance records and build
receipts. This is a street machine look with a hardy and useful
heart, and that makes for something special. Call now!
