Completely transformed from its humble origins, this 1982 GMC K1500
4X4 ZZ4 shows off its Carmine Red Metallic finish with an
unapologetic presence that demands your attention. Originally a
diesel-powered workhorse, this truck has undergone a full
restoration completed in 2023, emerging as a different animal
altogether. The upgraded grille and headlights give the front end a
modern edge, while the clean, badge-free body panels accentuate its
muscular proportions. Riding on 15" Ultra wheels wrapped in meaty
32x11.50R15 BFG tires from 2022, this K1500 has an authoritative
stance that makes ordinary trucks move aside. A textured spray-in
bed liner protects the cargo area, completing the rugged yet
refined exterior presentation.
The black and maroon custom leather interior elevates this truck
beyond its utilitarian roots. Custom billet accents throughout add
a touch of sophistication while maintaining the truck's rugged
character. Bucket seats with a folding armrest provide long-haul
comfort while keeping you planted during off-road excursions. The
Alpine audio system, featuring AM/FM/USB/CD head unit and
strategically placed speakers including kick panel units and a
small subwoofer behind the seat, delivers premium sound quality
wherever your adventures take you. Additional creature comforts
include power steering, tilt column, and cruise control for those
extended highway stretches between trail sessions.
The mechanical transformation is the true star of this build,
featuring a potent 350 V8 ZZ4 crate engine that replaces the
original diesel powerplant. Breathing through an Edelbrock
carburetor on an aluminum intake manifold and expelling spent gases
via Hedman headers connected to a dual exhaust system with
MagnaFlow mufflers, this powertrain delivers ample thrust in all
conditions. The 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission smoothly
transfers power to both axles through the 4-wheel drive system.
Modern upgrades continue with March accessories, a contemporary
radiator, and electric cooling fans ensuring optimal temperature
management. Power disc brakes up front provide confident stopping
power, while the front sway bar helps keep body roll in check
during aggressive cornering.
