Vehicle Description
This is the kind of truck to get excited about. This 1971 GMC 1500
C10 pickup has a great stance, plenty of chrome, and oh yeah, a
supercharged 383 stroker V8 that's putting some serious muscle on
the street.
When you see the color and the good sheetmetal, your first
impression of this classic truck might just be the nice guy dressed
in a crisp white shirt. But then you begin to pick up on the
details. The chrome grille shines a bit brighter; the lowered
stance seems a bit meaner; and those low profile tires on the large
17-inch Riddler alloys are pure intimidation. This GMC has some
serious presence for those who give it a second glance, and they
are quite right to pay attention because there is a real beast
lurking within (more on that in a moment.) But as much as this will
be a great vintage performance truck, this pristine white pickup
has not lost its blue-collar roots. Beneath the rear cover is a
steel bed that's ready to get to work if need be, and the trailer
hitch can make this the meanest machine at the boat ramp.
The enhanced attitude continues inside. Just like the exterior, the
interior shines a bit brighter with added trim below the AM/FM/CD
stereo and on the mirror-like glovebox door. The gray cloth bench
seat is wide enough to make sure you can carry more than one extra
person with you in comfort, but really, this truck was made with
the driver in mind. The three-spoke wood and chrome Grant steering
wheel feels great in your hands. You have a commanding view of the
full gauge package, including the large central tach and airbag
suspension controls below the dash. It's all there to help you
recognize there's something special under the hood, even before you
hear that unmistakable whine of power.
The engine bay was kept tidy so everyone could have a clear look at
all the awesome hardware. That Powerdyne supercharger is like a big
bright beacon calling others to take a look at this pickup. And
when they get closer, they're going to see a 383 cubic-inch stroker
V8 that's been further enhanced with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum heads, and an MSD ignition. This is
a huge power package, and it has been treated with respect since it
was built around six years ago. So all the right maintenance has
been performed, including a new battery, starter, fluids, pan
gasket, and more in recent servicing. On the road, it's your choice
to keep this one mild or wild, because the TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission is smooth and comfortable when you want it,
and stout enough to take on the supercharged power at a moment's
notice. Plus, the suspension is ready, too, with dropped spindles
and springs in the front, as well as adjustable air bags on the
trailing arm rear. Add in power steering and front disc brakes, and
this GMC is a wild power pickup that's easy to drive like a
cruiser.
If you can't decide between the ultimate muscle machine and a great
vintage truck, this supercharged GMC gives you both. When something
so unique is also quite affordable, you know you have to act
quickly to take it home. Call now!!
