In the world of muscle trucks, the GMC Caballero always lived in
the shadow of its Chevy El Camino sibling, but today that makes it
an even cooler find. Produced in far fewer numbers, the Caballero
brought a little extra swagger to the car-meets-truck formula. By
1987, it was one of the last of its kind, blending classic American
utility with performance-oriented DNA.
This example brings serious curb appeal with its two-tone blue and
gray paint set off by 14-inch Cragar SS wheels. The stance is
right, and the styling screams late-80s cool. Pop the hood and
things get even better: a 350ci V8 topped with an Edelbrock carb
and aluminum intake makes this Caballero a whole lot more fun than
stock ever intended. An aluminum radiator with dual electric fans
keeps everything cool even when the pavement gets hot.
Inside, this isn't your average parts-runner. Bucket seats with a
center console, billet steering wheel, and digital gauges transform
the cabin into something that feels more muscle car than utility
hauler. Power windows and power steering round out the upgrades,
making it as comfortable to drive as it is fun to show off.
Back in its day, the Caballero was a rarity compared to the El
Camino, and survivors this well-done are hard to come by. This
truck captures the spirit of late-80s performance style with
tasteful upgrades that blend reliability with flash. It's the kind
of ride that turns heads everywhere, whether cruising Main Street
or pulling into a car show.
If you want something unique that blends street-machine attitude
with pickup practicality, this 1987 GMC Caballero delivers the
goods. Equal parts conversation starter and boulevard bruiser, it's
proof that rare doesn't have to mean forgotten.
