For Sale: 1966 GMC 1000 in Kentwood, Michigan

Bold, distinctive, and built with purpose, this 1966 GMC Pickup stands as a true testament to when trucks were engineered to work hard and look good doing it. Finished in striking Hugger Orange with a beautifully coordinated black interior accented in matching orange, this fully restored classic commands attention while honoring its hardworking heritage.

At the heart of this GMC is the legendary 305 CID V6-a purpose-built truck engine designed exclusively for GMC's lineup. Known for its durability, dependability, and straightforward design, this heavy-duty powerplant was engineered to handle real work. In fact, it's often noted for weighing more than the later 454 that succeeded it, a reflection of its robust construction. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this truck delivers an authentic, hands-on driving experience that connects you directly to the road.

Adding to its versatility, this example has been professionally converted to four-wheel drive, giving it both a commanding stance and enhanced capability. The slight lift complements its rugged personality, while aluminum wheels complete the look with a subtle modern touch.

The 1966 model year is especially desirable, featuring the unique two-year-only hood design and the first year of dual front headlights-styling cues that set it apart from earlier models. As a GMC, it represented the top tier of GM's truck offerings at the time. Unlike its Chevrolet counterpart, GMC operated as a truck-only division and equipped its models with the exclusive 305 V6, reinforcing its reputation for purpose-built performance.

This particular truck benefits from a comprehensive restoration and presents in excellent condition throughout. The Hugger Orange paint is stunning, showcasing the truck's crisp body lines and classic proportions. Inside, the cabin has been newly upholstered and thoughtfully detailed, offering a fresh yet period-correct feel. The restored wood bed floor is a standout feature, adding warmth and craftsmanship to the rugged pickup box. The desirable 8-foot bed further enhances its unique appeal.

With its rare 305 V6 engine, sought-after front-end design, four-wheel-drive conversion, and show-quality restoration, this GMC is more than just a vintage pickup-it's a statement piece. Whether you're a collector seeking something uncommon or an enthusiast who appreciates authentic American truck heritage, this 1966 GMC offers both visual impact and mechanical substance.
