Vehicle Description
This 1968 GMC C1500 has a sleek two-tone, awesome wood, a
houndstooth A/C interior, a crate V8, and more. And as you look
over the full package, you can really see how this is freshly
restored with an eye for details. It all makes for solid
investments that deliver an intoxicating mix of vintage and
modern.
Minty green sandwiched in-between a creamy white lower section and
roof gives this one an instant classic style. But also take some
time to appreciate the details. For example, the reason why a
modern paint application looks so good on this pickup is that it
has some timeless curves. The squared-off hood melts into a rounded
fender line that runs the full profile, and the high gloss finish
loves to show it all off. You also see this so well because there
has been a solid investment in this truck to erase any workman
roots. Heightening its attractiveness is plenty of mirror-like
brightwork on the grille, bumpers, and stylish full-length trim.
And we just love the glossy real wood in the truck bed. But this
one likes to announce it's more than just vintage. A set of CPP
drop spindles give this a sporty stance. Plus, it's wearing a
classic set of American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, but the big
20-inch size gives this icon plenty of modern flair.
The interior continues to give you the desirable vintage style
while also delivering the best in well-integrated modern upgrades.
For example, the houndstooth cloth inserts in the seats are a great
classic GM piece, but the whole seat has the fresh feeling of a
proper investment. Plush carpeting, a smooth dash pad, and plenty
of the exterior green on the metal components complete the classic
truck look. What you'll also love are all the right well-placed
upgrades. This includes a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with
Bluetooth and cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. And while you
have the classic dual-spoke steering wheel, it's now on a tilt
column to give you a nice view of the full gauge package.
The engine bay has proper GM 350 cubic-inch V8 power. You can tell
there were more big investments under the hood simply because no
truck celebrating nearly half a century should look this tidy and
fresh all on its own. There's quite a stock-style appearance
everywhere from the color of the block to the detailed air grabber.
But you can also spot worthwhile upgrades. It's a fresher crate V8
that also includes an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, a spacer,
an Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, and an HEI ignition. There are
updated DJM suspension components, and so this one rides with
confidence going down the road. Plus, a rebuilt three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes w/front discs,
and grippy low-profile tires keep it a great cruiser.
This sharply restored GMC has been given all the right investments
to be the truck you've always wanted. It's a cruiser that leaves
you wanting for nothing, and since it's turn-key ready right now,
you need to call today!
