This big 1983 GMC K1500 4x4 has a lot going for it. The distinct color, sinister black details, custom/comfy air-conditioned interior, V8 power, overdrive transmission, and slick wheels set atop an imposing lift all create the ultimate dream square-body pickup for many of us.
You know why this truck has an instant presence. Everyone really has to look up to you, and we'll get to all those cool suspension details in a moment. But first, let's appreciate the total package. The light blue paint is a high-quality application that shows off the well-creased sheet metal that makes this GMC look imposing. In fact, while this is the kind of color we've seen on many "nice guy" trucks in the past, this color just seems to serve as a great way to make the contrasting darker elements look even more sinister. This now has black bumpers, black trim, black side mirrors, and deeply tinted windows. And we love the mean style of the black background over the billet grille that covers the upgraded LED headlights. And of course, the 26-inch TIS Offroad wheels give this a terrific dark side imposing stance. And as custom as this all looks, this GMC wants to remind you that it's still a truck. So the useful bed and proper trailer hitch mean it's always ready for pickup duty.
The interior continues the nice contrast of light blue and black. The two-tone is quite inviting with a fresh style to the carpeting, door panels, dash, and cloth bench seat. The full setup is nicely done with classic premium features like power windows, power locks, and a tilt steering column. These are joined by upgrades like R134a air conditioning, a retro-style AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth, and a cool overhead console with speakers. Plus, the AutoMeter full digital gauge cluster is one of the coolest modern upgrades around.
The color theme even continues in the engine bay, where the bright blue intake seems to be radiating from around all the dark black components. This has proper GM small block power, and this V8 inhales deeper with a Pro-Form four-barrel carburetor. It also exhales with added power and rumble as long tube headers feed the dual exhaust and Thrush mufflers. You'll also appreciate nice driving details, like the aluminum radiator with electric fans, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and an upgraded 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. And of course, this custom is a true go-anywhere machine with a two-speed 4x4 transfer case, Rough Country shocks, a lift kit, and Gladiator X Comp M/T tires.
You want this truck because it has the look of something big, unique, loaded, and absolutely custom. And this appearance only gets better in-person. Call today!!!
