For Sale: 1985 GMC 1500 in Lutz, Florida

This 1985 GMC C1500 Restomod is a custom truck that feels like they thought of everything when building this one. That means sleek paint, a custom A/C interior, an overdrive transmission, an upgraded suspension, and a powerful fuel-injected stroker V8.


This truck is coming from a restoration that was completed about 2500 miles ago, and so the White Hot paint lives up to its name with a radiant glow that looks scorching in the sunshine. And you can tell there was a good amount of time invested in making the whole truck look custom. The color-matched front bumper, upgraded grille, and clear headlights really put a distinct and clean face forward. The profile looks terrific with crisp sheet metal, deleted badging, and upgraded 20-inch Boss alloys on a sporty lowered stance. The rear has a smooth rear pan and aerodynamic tonneau bed cover. Plus, beneath the bed cover is a liner paint so that you can pull real truck duty when you want. And that's how to see this whole truck. A restomod like this is built to look great without shying away from the kind of pickup you'll actually drive and use.


The white returns inside on the dash and even the steering wheel. Now it's joined by tasteful black. The bench seat is redone in velour cloth to look and feel quite nice, and the door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dash pad coordinate in both darkness and freshness. We especially like the detail upgrades like the newer stainless and carbon fiber style trim. There are upgrades for a more enjoyable classic, like a Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input, a Memphis Audio speaker system, and cold-blowing air conditioning. And the driving experience is upgraded with features like the grippy sports steering wheel on a tilt column and AutoMeter gauges.


The engine bay has a distinctive appearance with clean inner walls, polished components, and an overall tidy style. And those bold orange valve covers boldly announce this is a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. That means big block displacement in a small block weight. Plus, this has been enhanced with aluminum heads, an Edelbrock intake, and wrapped long tube headers feeding the x-pipe dual exhaust. Plus, it's topped with Edelbrock electronic fuel injection system which gives you better power and consistency. There are also good supporting components like MSD ignition, upgraded pulleys, dual batteries, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. It makes for a proper driver's classic, and this one even loves to hit the highway with its 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The suspension is a set up to confidentially handle the upgraded power with tubular front A-arms and a four-link rear with Panhard bar and adjustable coilovers. There's also power steering, power brakes, front discs, and ZR-rated sports tires.


Complete with service manuals, this is the custom truck that is fresh, powerful, comfortable, and all-around awesome. So you know you need to be the one cruising this one all summer long. Call today!!!
