Vehicle Description
This 1987 GMC R1500 has a true shop truck look and true shop truck
ability. But while you'll admire the cool/classic patina style,
this one proves its all-around appeal with its fuel-injected V8,
cold-blowing A/C interior, and a ton of useful features.
The reason why we all love shop trucks is because of what they
represent. They're workhorses that have to be kept in tune for
daily tasks. This one represents that perfectly. After all, it has
the logos and scripts like a pickup that was parked in front of a
service station (we bet you can already see yourself creating your
own shop logo for the doors.) And the patina appearance backs up
that lifetime outdoors feeling. Plus, the bed has been upgraded
with a steel sheet on the floor and liner paint to make it ready to
haul anything home. But the bright bumpers, LED headlights, LED
tail lights, dual exhaust tips, and clean billet grille give this
more flair than you'd get on your average service station hauler.
There's a large locking toolbox, and you can tell those 15-inch
Rally wheels are new. So you can really start to see how this shop
truck has been carefully crafted to be useful, stylish, and
distinct.
While the exterior tries to show off some workhorse style, the
interior is pure leisure time. That's because the full red package
is well finished. The comfy velour on the seat, clean carpeting,
and smooth dash pad give you good fundamentals. It also has the
right features, like power windows, cup holders, LED lighting, and
an upgrade to an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth. Plus, there's a
new full air conditioning system that's blowing nice and cold. You
have a grippy sports steering wheel on a tilt column, and so that
makes it easy to get comfortable and get a good view of the
wraparound gauge panel. And since this is such a thoughtful driver,
it also wants you to go further with dual fuel tanks.
Shops take good care of their vehicles, and so this keeps that
theme going with the clean engine bay. You're looking at a hardy
350 cubic-inch V8 that is backed up by fuel injection. So this one
fires up as a reliable worker should. And the very straight pipes
of the glasspack dual exhaust give this a terrific sound. The TH400
three-speed automatic transmission is the kind of stout piece
that's great for real work. There's also power steering, power
brakes, front discs, new tires, and new shocks for a solid total
driving package.
Complete with build receipts, this one not only has the cool shop
truck look, but also the power and features you really want. It
makes for an irresistible classic GMC you need to get your hands on
right now.
