For Sale: 1977 GMC 1500 in Lutz, Florida

This 1977 GMC C1500 has an extra-sleek exterior, a custom/comfy air-conditioned interior, and V8 power under the hood. It makes for the kind of total package that makes for an awesome cruiser.

Sleekness is at the heart of the custom build. The black paint has a nice gloss and the color-matched front bumper and flush roll pan add to a slicker style. The body is both custom and smooth with a cowl hood, deleted door mirrors, an aerodynamic tonneau cover, and a custom tailgate with deleted handle and frenched license plate. They even shaved the door handles and put them on a remote key fob popper. And because everything is so dark, you really see the remaining brightwork pop in upgrades like the billet-style grille and sporty rally wheels. We especially like the total package because it was built to be a cruiser. That means it's an overall road-ready style that looks good when it's out there in the world.

Another part of being road-ready is delivering a more comfortable interior. The upgrades start with the seating. This is the kind of modern split bench borrowed from a much younger GMC. So you get bucket-like comfort on both sides and integrated shoulder belts, and when the center jump seat isn't needed, you can fold it down for an armrest console. There's also a nice headliner, good carpeting, and upgraded aluminum accents on the dash to make this feel inviting. Plus, you have some great cruising features. Some add comfort like the tinted windows, factory AM/FM stereo, power windows, and cold-blowing air conditioning. Others make for a better driver like the upgraded sports steering wheel and full gauges with tach.

Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8. While there are some nice polished upgrades, the investments we really like are the things that keep it a hardy runner, like the HEI distributor, newer plug wires, and a four-barrel carburetor. It makes for a nice power today, and we all know there are plenty of easy ways to unlock some more power whenever you want. The V8 is at the heart of this truck's solid cruising attitude, and it also helps that you have easy driving features like power steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As.

This GMC is distinct, comfy, and ready to hit the road. So if you're looking for a driver's classic pickup that knows how to turn heads, call today!!!
