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 to long 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
