Today, the GMC Sierra 1500 is known as quite a sizeable light-duty pickup, but it started its life as a much different square-body pickup. The early GMC Sierra shared its platform with the Chevrolet C/K, offering a silhouette that has been embedded in American car culture. Our featured car has been extensively upgraded, but visually and under the hood. This 1986 GMC C1500 Sierra Classic features a monster of a motor powering it: a blueprinted 355ci V8 Crate engine. With a reported 21,500 miles, this stunning pickup could be a brilliant addition to anyone’s automotive arsenal.
The Chevrolet C/K Series of pickup trucks was introduced for the 1960 model year and ran until 2002, when the Silverado series took over. GMC also got in on the action with badge-engineered variants, such as this 1971 GMC C1500 from the second generation of the model series. However, this isn’t just another C1500, but a fine restomod with some great modern creature comforts to make it a pleasant daily driver, as well as a showstopper.

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 first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
