The sister vehicle to Chevy’s C/K Series, GMC’s Sierra line-up has been a stalwart in the light and medium duty pickup truck scene for decades on end. You can still buy a Sierra today and it’s closely related to the Chevy Silverado. What about classic GMC trucks, then? They are excellent for collectors who don’t want a classic car, but prefer something a little different. For them, we’ve got this nice 1987 GMC R3500 for sale from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Coming from the third generation of the Chevy C/K Series, this sub 94,000-mile truck offers a torquey V8, a manual gearbox and a high bed.
Exterior and Interior
Just take a look at this 1987 GMC R3500 and the possibilities for customization are endless. Or you could leave it as is. The most notable feature has got to be its high-sided truck bed, with wood sides and a dually rear axle configuration for better load carrying capacity. Those shiny chromed wheels bear proper meaty tires that can easily bear loads. You’ll also note the low-slung taillamps that don’t interfere with loading and unloading of the truck bed. Then, we’ve got side exit exhaust pipes that allow that characteristic V8 grumble to easily be heard as you roll by. The single cab configuration of this 1987 GMC R3500 offers a blue bench seat that’s comfortable for two adults, but can cozily accommodate a third when required. It’s a fairly spartan affair with wind-up windows and a floor shifter, but there’s a modern JVC radio in the dash for a broader choice of music. We also see a control panel for heating and ventilation, but there doesn’t appear to be air conditioning. No worries, it’s supremely easy to fit an aftermarket system that will seamlessly blend in with the vehicle’s modern classic aesthetic. The vehicle also includes seat belts for better safety.
Engine
Moving this 1987 GMC R3500 is no small task, which is why the 350ci V8 under the hood is a suitable choice. It may not be a drag king, but it’s got ample amounts of low-end torque to keep you moving along smartly. Power is sent to the rear axle through a manual transmission for maximum driving pleasure.
