This 1985 GMC K15 is the kind of truck that elbows through time
without apology. Cloaked in clean white with a custom bench-seat
interior, it looks like it just rolled out of the later years of
Chevrolet's "Rounded-Line" era-the boxy, computer-aided,
wind-tunnel-optimized workhorses that defined full-size American
pickups from 1973 to 1991. For 1985, these machines received a
fresh front grille treatment and-for the first time on a
C/K-half-ton-optional cast-aluminum wheels, marking them as the
swan song of a dying design before GM ushered in the smoother
GMT400 generation
Under the hood sits a 350 cubic-inch V-8 mated to the stalwart
Turbo-350 automatic. Powerful, predictable, and bullet-proof for
the kind of miles trucks like these were made to absorb. Add in
power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, tilt steering,
power windows and locks, and a sliding rear window, and you've got
comfort features befitting a sedan nestled inside a brawny two-door
truck cab.
To make sure it not only walks the walk but stomps the stomp, this
K15 is fitted with a Rough Country lift kit, giant Mud Grappler
35�14.5�15 tires wrapped around modern MT slots, and a steering
stabilizer. It's as ready to crawl rocky trails as it is to turn
heads cruising downtown. Complement that with a cool aluminum
Edelbrock intake, Delco AM/FM radio, dual fuel tanks, and even the
high-rolling High Sierra package mixed with the practicality of a
factory jack, and you see a build that honed both style and
substance.
This K15 isn't just a truck, it's a slice of '80s GM muscle, built
to dominate both backroads and brake-light showdowns. Step into the
seat, and you'll feel the weight of automotive legend in your hands
and the lift kit under your feet to prove it.
