Vehicle Description
This big 1983 GMC K1500 4x4 has a lot going for it. The distinct
color, sinister black details, custom/comfy air-conditioned
interior, V8 power, overdrive transmission, and slick wheels set
atop an imposing lift all create the ultimate dream square-body
pickup for many of us.
You know why this truck has an instant presence. Everyone really
has to look up to you, and we'll get to all those cool suspension
details in a moment. But first, let's appreciate the total package.
The light blue paint is a high-quality application that shows off
the well-creased sheet metal that makes this GMC look imposing. In
fact, while this is the kind of color we've seen on many "nice guy"
trucks in the past, this color just seems to serve as a great way
to make the contrasting darker elements look even more sinister.
This now has black bumpers, black trim, black side mirrors, and
deeply tinted windows. And we love the mean style of the black
background over the billet grille that covers the upgraded LED
headlights. And of course, the 26-inch TIS Offroad wheels give this
a terrific dark side imposing stance. And as custom as this all
looks, this GMC wants to remind you that it's still a truck. So the
useful bed and proper trailer hitch mean it's always ready for
pickup duty.
The interior continues the nice contrast of light blue and black.
The two-tone is quite inviting with a fresh style to the carpeting,
door panels, dash, and cloth bench seat. The full setup is nicely
done with classic premium features like power windows, power locks,
and a tilt steering column. These are joined by upgrades like R134a
air conditioning, a retro-style AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth, and a
cool overhead console with speakers. Plus, the AutoMeter full
digital gauge cluster is one of the coolest modern upgrades
around.
The color theme even continues in the engine bay, where the bright
blue intake seems to be radiating from around all the dark black
components. This has proper GM small block power, and this V8
inhales deeper with a Pro-Form four-barrel carburetor. It also
exhales with added power and rumble as long tube headers feed the
dual exhaust and Thrush mufflers. You'll also appreciate nice
driving details, like the aluminum radiator with electric fans,
power steering, power brakes, front discs, and an upgraded 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission. And of course, this custom is a
true go-anywhere machine with a two-speed 4x4 transfer case, Rough
Country shocks, a lift kit, and Gladiator X Comp M/T tires.
You want this truck because it has the look of something big,
unique, loaded, and absolutely custom. And this appearance only
gets better in-person. Call today!!!
