Vehicle Description
This 1986 GMC High Sierra 1500 is the long bed classic pickup with
a cool vintage style and solid classic V8 power. There's even
likely a low ownership history. So it's hard to resist a vintage
truck like this, especially at this obtainable price.
The story that we were told was that this GMC spent decades under
one family's care. We don't have the confirming paperwork, but you
get that kind of sense from the way this one is presented. It feels
like a well-respected pickup that also wanted to earn its place
with the family. This is finished in its correct two-tone color,
and it's hard to deny the appeal of a red and tan to represent a
1980s machine. It's believed to be mostly the original paint, and
pieces like the patina bed and dealer tag help to tell the story of
where it came from and its prior life story. Overall, it's the
right level of aged-in kind of style to look right on a truck that
was an heirloom. The full-length premium trim, a diamond plate rear
step bumper, and rally wheels finish off this attractive vintage
package.
The interior has the feeling of a comfortable classic. There have
been recent investments in the bench seat, door panels, carpeting,
and headliner to make this one quite inviting. Plus, there are some
nice details of pickups of this era. This generation GMC has
instruments that wrap around the driver almost like a sports car.
And the sliding rear window gets the right old-school style breezes
blowing through the cab. There's also a retro-style AM/FM digital
tuner that now gives you modern USB and Bluetooth connections so
that you can plug in your phone and get the ideal road trip
music.
Under the hood is the correct-style 305 cubic-inch V8, and just
like the rest of this truck, it's very stock and honest. Topped
with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, this fires up and runs
with the smoothness of a well-respected powerhouse. And this one
wants to be a solid total driver. That's why you have a recent
investment in new front coil springs, front ball joints, and shocks
all around. Plus, the three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, and power brakes with recently serviced discs up front
are all part of an attractive cruiser package.
Complete with the owner's manual, we love a good classic pickup
with history and character. That's why you know this affordable
long bed GMC is irresistible. Call today!!!
