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 corporate cousin of the Chevrolet Silverado range, GMC’s Sierra line-up of pickup trucks is positioned at a slightly more luxurious point than its Chevy counterpart. Currently in the fourth generation of Sierra (which is the fifth generation of Silverado), the duo got a mid-cycle refresh in 2022. Changes included a revamped front end and an updated interior design, plus some tweaks here and there. That’s what you’ll be availing yourself to with this sub-34,000-mile 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation from Pompano Beach, Florida. It’s got the Elevation Premium Package, Elevation Black Package, X31 Offroad & Protection Package and a stout Duramax diesel under the hood. So, if you want a family-friendly truck that can take you further than where the tarmac ends, this is one fine option to consider.
The Chevrolet C/K Series of pickup trucks was introduced in 1960, and is the sister of the GMC C/K Series. General Motors knew that by sharing platforms, engines and other mechanical componentry across brands, they could realize synergies and enhanced economies of scale. This is seen today, with the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra duo. Here, we have a 1970 GMC C2500 Fleetside which comes from the second generation of the Chevy/GMC C/K-Series line-up. This era ran between 1967 and 1972, with the trucks assembled in a variety of places across the country. This particular truck comes from Hemingford, Nebraska and is a two-wheel drive variant, denoted by its C moniker. Furthermore, its 2500 designation tells us that it’s a ¾-ton truck. If you’re on the lookout for a classic American truck with some capability but in great condition for showing off as well, this is the ideal candidate to pick.
The GMT400-generation GMC Sierra is remembered for its durability, clean styling, and capability, offering a blend of workhorse toughness and daily comfort. This 1995 GMC Sierra 1500 SL, finished in Dark Garnet Red Metallic over a burgundy interior, is powered by a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 with throttle-body injection, paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission and selectable four-wheel drive. Showing 117,297 miles, it comes equipped with a Convenience Package, power features, and a sliding glass sunroof, making it both practical and comfortable while retaining the charm of a mid-1990s American pickup.
