You'd have a hard time finding a truck from any era that
effectively combines the sensibilities of this 1970 GMC 1500 Patina
Restomod. The natural patina derived from years of service is
proudly displayed over its exterior, serving notice that this
venerable pickup has seen a lot in its considerable lifetime and is
all the better for it. By contrast, an aggressive lowered stance
and a set of attention-grabbing 20" KMC wheels add a definite
aftermarket sensibility. Add to that a frame that's been properly
prepped for a premium aftermarket suspension, with the dual air
compressors already in place, and you have one seriously
distinctive ride, a ride you're unlikely to come across anytime
soon on the road.
The interior has been largely left in its native configuration,
with some aftermarket touches blended into the mix, including an
upgraded, split-bench seat that provides plenty of comfort for even
the longest of road trips, a sharp-looking Grant steering wheel now
in place on a tilting column, and a set of aftermarket gauges in
the instrument cluster to keep tabs on motoring functions. A
Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo sits at the center of the dash but will
need a little attention to get back online. Just below, a display
is mounted securely in place to control an Air Ride suspension.
Climb inside, settle onto the bench seat, and you'll have plenty of
power at your disposal, courtesy of the 383-cubic-inch stroker V8
that sits inside the engine compartment. Equipped with a Holley
Sniper fuel injection system that offers a level of adjustability
and all-weather dependability unattainable in its original
configuration, the engine is in top form, pulling with enough
strength to knock you back in your seat as it pairs with an
automatic three-speed TH350 transmission that shifts seamlessly. An
added set of shorty headers minimizes performance-robbing
backpressure, while a dual exhaust that terminates in a pair of
Flowmaster mufflers provides just the right note as you tap on the
gas pedal. This 1500 is also equipped with power steering and power
brakes that feature discs in front, so it handles easily and comes
to a stop with no fanfare.
