and stall converter • Power steering, power front disc brakes, long
tube headers, and dual exhaust • Black velour interior with custom
blue suede headliner, Autogage gauges, and Retrosound stereo •
Tonno Pro tonneau cover and subtle custom touches throughout! BODY
OVERVIEW: This GMC C1500 has the kind of presence that makes people
stop mid-sentence. The lowered stance, big wheels, and crisp body
lines give it the silhouette every squarebody fan dreams of.
Believed to be a Carolinas truck since new, the body is clean and
straight. Buyers should note that there are some dings inside the
bed, but it is a pickup truck after all! The Tonno Pro cover adds a
clean, finished look to the bed, while the overall proportions and
stance scream custom without trying too hard. It's tasteful, tough,
and unmistakably cool! PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The House of Kolor
black/blue two-tone is the star of the show. Deep, glossy, and laid
down with care, it shines brilliantly in the sun and has the
richness you expect from a quality custom finish. It isn't a
brand-new paint job, but it presents extremely well and delivers
maximum visual impact with visible imperfections at a minimum. This
is a truck built to turn heads, and the paint makes sure it will!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Inside, the GMC blends functionality
with mild custom flair. The black velour bench seat looks sharp and
inviting, the blue suede headliner adds a custom touch without
being flashy, and the blue aftermarket steering wheel ties the
whole interior theme together. Power windows and a tilt column
bring convenience, while the Autogage cluster keeps you informed.
Tinted glass keeps everything cooler in the summer, and adds a
tasteful touch of privacy to boot. Aftermarket dash and door trim
add to the overall mild custom vibe, and the Retrosound stereo adds
modern audio without ruining the classic look. Overall, the
interior presents very nicely and feels purpose-built for cruising.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood, this truck brings real muscle.
Believed to be a stroked small block Chevy, the engine features an
Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor, Edelbrock intake, electric choke,
polished valve covers, and a chrome/blue air cleaner. Thanks tolong
tube headers and dual exhaust, this GMC has a healthy rumble. Power
front disc brakes and power steering make it easy to handle, while
the TH350 automatic transmission, which is believed to have a shift
kit and performance stall converter, delivers crisp, powerful
shifts. With the performance stall converter, it takes some
throttle to get this thing moving, but if you want to make a
statement as you pull off from the function, this GMC will
certainly do it! The 10-bolt rear end has what is said to be a 3.73
gear, which keeps it lively around town without making it
undrivable. Mechanically, it's exactly what you want in a custom
squarebody: strong, loud, and built to cruise! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE
ABOUT THIS CAR: • Stunning House of Kolor two-tone paint that looks
custom without being too much • A lowered stance that's absolutely
dialed in • Strong-running SBC with the right mix of performance
parts • Comfortable, cool interior with custom touches WHAT YOU
MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: • If you want a factory-stock,
time-capsule truck, this won't scratch that itch • The lowered
stance may test your patience with steep driveways, parking lots,
etc. • No A/C might be a bummer in the summer DOES IT NEED
ANYTHING? This GMC is ready to be enjoyed as-is, however there are
a few odds and ends (such as wipers not parking, speedometer not
accurate) that the next owner may choose to address. WHAT BUYER IS
LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This truck is perfect for someone who wants a
squarebody with personality, power, and presence. If you want a
slick cruiser that gets compliments everywhere it goes, or if you
simply aspire to be the coolest person in the Home Depot parking
lot, this GMC C1500 is exactly your kind of ride! The advertised
price for this vehicle includes the $250 document fee added by Rare
