GMC is a division of General Motors that primarily focuses on SUVs, trucks, vans, buses, motor homes and military vehicles. Some of GMC’s vehicles were actually built by Chevrolet before being rebadged as GMC models. In the 1960s, Chevrolet’s range of C/K light-duty trucks was rebadged as the GMC 1000 (½ ton), 1500 (3/4 ton), 2500 (1 ton) and 3500 (1½ ton). This example is a 1966 GMC 1000 Series Big Window Fleetside light-duty truck that has undergone a ‘restomod’ – in that it has been restored, as well as given a modern makeover in certain areas. Coming from Texas with less than 200 miles on the clock after the rebuild, this vehicle is sure to get your pulse racing, as well as turn heads as you drive by.
A cursory glance at the exterior of this 1966 GMC 1000 Series Big Window Fleetside will not reveal much as to what lies beneath the skin. Finished in an eye-catching red paintwork, the first thing that your eyes will pickup are the Raceline Executive 22” billet wheels wrapped in Continental rubber. You may notice the disc brakes lurking behind, appreciate the red-stained wood in the bed that matches the paintwork and the chrome detailing, as well as the ‘Custom’ and ‘V6’ badging too. Peeking inside will reveal a cabin that retains the original leather bench once again wrapped in red leather, as well as a modern Pioneer head unit and upgraded speaker system that the current owner claims “sounds phenomenal”, as well as a VintageAir AC system with its controls sitting in the center of the red-painted dash. You will then notice the custom Billet Specialties steering wheel, and sitting behind it, a Racepack electronic digital gauge cluster. By now, you must be realizing that this isn’t a regular GMC 1000. The vehicle has new carpets, as well as new glass with vent window and replaced tracks and felts.
That V6 badge? It’s a red herring. Whilst the GMC 1000 range did come with a 305ci V6 option, as well as a smattering of in-line sixes, this 1966 GMC 1000 Series Big Window Fleetside packs a LSX 440 Dart motor which is based on the Chevrolet LS7 V8 from the Corvette. The block is rated at up to 1,200 hp, as are the Holley Dominator dual sequence fuel pumps. A custom grind cam by Texas Speed is installed, as are Greg Good machined heads. Drive is to the rear wheels via an RPM 4L60 automatic transmission that is rated for up to 900hp. Disc brakes are installed all-round, and electric power steering is another upgrade under the hood. The fuel tank has been relocated beneath the bed. Finally, it’s received a custom tune by HPC, and has been dynoed at 619hp at the rear wheels.
GMC and Chevy have been making pickup trucks together for ages. In fact, this stretches way back to the Chevy Task Force series and beyond. When the popular Chevy C/K series debuted in 1960, naturally, GMC would get its own variants. The GMC 1000 was the half-ton variant, equivalent to a Chevy C10 or K10. In terms of mechanicals and styling, the models were basically indistinguishable except for badging, unlike today, where the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra have some visual differences. However, this 1966 GMC 1000 Fleetside is definitely a stand-out sort, because it’s a restomod. Packing a potent engine and some neat creature comforts, you could be the next lucky owner of this beauty. But you’d better act fast!

The Chevrolet Silverado’s corporate cousin is the GMC Sierra. It’s a smart move by General Motors to broaden their line-up across their various brands by sharing synergies. In fact, the Silverado and Sierra have been like this since 1999, when the Silverado became a separate nameplate. Hence, the first generation Silverado/Sierra was made between 1999 and 2007. In fact, variants like this 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT were only made up to 2004, as the heavy-duty line. This particular truck has done a light 64,000 miles and is up for sale in Orange, California. It’s got a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel under the hood, a 62-gallon fuel tank, and is four-wheel drive. That makes it ideal for someone who wants a sturdy truck that can venture off-road when needed.
An old icon, reborn! That’s what the GMC Hummer EV is. General Motors dusted off the famous Hummer name a few years back, and created a fittingly imposing EV pickup truck and SUV to go with it. Now placed under the GMC umbrella, the Hummer EV is quickly finding favor with old stalwarts of the brand, as well as new enthusiasts. So, if you’re on the hunt for a Hummer EV Pickup that you can get ASAP, this 2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup Edition 1 from Greenville, South Carolina is a great choice. It’s got 1,000 horsepower to give you, which is a great headline feature, isn’t it? Plus, this Satin Gray vinyl-wrapped example boasts just under 23,000 miles on the odometer, the Edition 1 Accessory Package, and a set of Fuel Off-Road Fortress wheels! Yes, it’s a proper off-roader in case you didn’t guess already. And yes, it’s also an EV – in fact, the charging cable is also included in the sale.
The second generation of Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks would see a sister model created, called the GMC Sierra. Today, you can still buy a GMC Sierra, which is closely based on the Chevrolet Silverado, which is what the C/K line-up became. Yes, General Motors’ boffins have used synergies and economies of scale to ensure that they can offer two similar pickup trucks from different brands under their umbrella. Today’s example is a 1986 GMC Sierra Classic 1500 from Crosby, Texas, and it’s done under 25,000 miles since receiving quite a bit of attention. The truck comes with the original owner’s manuals but there’s a 355ci Blueprinted crate V8 under the hood, an aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket wheels and so much more. Read on to find out why this truck deserves your attention.
