The GMC Sonoma is a badge-engineered version of the Chevy S10 compact pickup truck. Introduced in 1981, it was initially called S-15 by GMC. However, the name Sonoma debuted for the 1991 model year, making this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special the first of its kind. As you might glean from the photos, this isn't quite a regular Sonoma, as it's got some visual and performance upgrades going on. Keep reading to discover what they are, and if this truck strikes your fancy, give us a call or shoot us a message, and we'll tell you how to get your hands on it.
There's nothing quite like a single cab with a truck bed behind it. That's what countless pickup trucks have been offering in America for decades, and it's what this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special offers, too. Decked out in gray paint, this truck's aftermarket alloy wheels are more prominent, especially when wrapped with tires that look more on-road performance-oriented. Then, when you view this truck face-on, its aftermarket hood with massive air intake and twin black stripes become apparent. We also notice that the headlamps have been upgraded on this Illinois-plated truck. The truck's bed has got a tonneau cover for security and weather protection, so you can treat it like a car or SUV in terms of cargo carriage. Meanwhile, there are widebody rear fenders for further visual drama. Yes, this truck is a sort of racing machine, and you're about to discover more. The gray cloth interior includes the original seating, dashboard, and instrument cluster. But you'll note that upgraded Auto Meter Sport Competition gauges have been added, along with a gear shift light. The large tachometer stares at you face-on as you grip a Grant G/T sport steering wheel. Finally, there's an upgraded Kenwood head unit in the center console, offering USB and AUX inputs, as well as good old FM radio capabilities.
The highest engine available for the first-generation Sonoma was a 4.3-liter V6. However, this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special has received something much more potent. Beneath its large air-dammed hood lies a familiar sight: a 350ci V8 with Edelbrock air cleaner and cam covers. Now you know why this truck looks purposeful; it's got the goods to back up its claims. Power goes to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission, as we've told you. How that power goes to the road is entirely up to you - will it be smart, snappy launches, or clouds of tire smoke?

While Ford had the legendary Bronco, General Motors was backing their own iconic horse in the full-size SUV category of the ‘70s. It fielded their ever-popular Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models. By 1975, the Jimmy was into its second generation. Known as the “Rounded Line” or “Square Body” generation, these models were available in both two and four-wheel drive and were closely related to the Chevrolet C/K trucks. The classic styling of this generation of Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmys is loved by fans of old-school offroaders. It's where good looks, functionality, and off-road prowess all converge at one intersection. Our featured 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD has been lovingly upgraded for life in the 21st century, with many new parts and subtle improvements made along the way. It features a 350ci V8 engine with 65,000 miles on it.

This era of post-war pickups can claim to be host to some of the most beautiful yet utilitarian designs of our time, and the 1950 GMC FC101 is no exception. Following the course set by Chevrolet, GMC’s pickup offering followed a clean design with a rounded bonnet and fenders, a prominent grille, and fender-mounted headlights. It was also a time that saw consumers gravitate towards more car-like features, including improved comfort and visibility. GMC responded by increasing the size of the door apertures, increasing legroom, and adding a larger glasshouse, However, ruggedness and dependability were still the names of the game in the pickup segment, and the GMC FC101 delivered in spades. Our featured car has reportedly been owned by the present keeper for the last six years.
