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.

This 1973 GMC C1500 Sierra Grande Long Bed combines classic square-body styling with the kind of big-block power that makes these early GM trucks especially appealing to enthusiasts. Showing approximately 39,376 miles, this example is powered by a 454ci big-block V8 paired with a Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in a striking Orange & White two-tone exterior with a Black interior, it also brings together desirable comfort and usability features including power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. With its long-bed configuration, upgraded dual exhaust, and period Sierra Grande trim details, this GMC delivers both vintage truck character and strong cruising appeal.
The 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate sits at the top of the Yukon range, blending full-size SUV capability with a level of luxury and technology that pushes well beyond the traditional truck-based formula. Showing just 22,413 miles and offered by its original owner, this example is finished in Onyx Black over an Alpine Umber full-grain leather interior and powered by a 6.2L naturally aspirated ECOTEC3 V8 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and 4WD. Its specification reads like a highlight reel: Super Cruise, Magnetic Ride Control, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, an electronic limited-slip differential, 22-inch machined wheels, a power panoramic sunroof, rear-seat media, 16-way power front seats with massage, and an 18-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system. It is the kind of SUV built to handle long highway trips, family duty, towing, and everyday commuting without giving up the comfort, road presence, or performance expected from a flagship Denali.
Built to tackle the toughest jobs of its era, the 1968 GMC C3500 represents a time when durability and simplicity defined American heavy-duty trucks. Today, examples like this have become increasingly sought after thanks to their unmistakable styling and endless versatility. Showing 108,258 miles, this C3500 has been tastefully customized with a rugged flatbed while retaining its hardworking character. Power comes from a 350ci V8 backed by a 4-speed manual transmission, making it equally at home hauling equipment, attending truck shows, or serving as a standout addition to any vintage collection.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.
The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.
Few vintage 4x4s have the enthusiast following of the first-generation Ford Bronco, and this 1971 Ford Bronco Restomod takes that classic formula in a decidedly performance-oriented direction. Showing approximately 2,242 miles, this build combines a 302ci Ford Racing crate V8 with a Holley 570 CFM Street Avenger 4-barrel carburetor, a 3-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel drive. Finished in Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue with dual Blue stripes, it also features James Duff suspension, Dana 44 and Ford 9-inch axle hardware, Warn locking hubs, roadster-style doors, a family-style roll cage, and a long list of custom audio and trim upgrades. The result is a Bronco that retains its unmistakable early off-road character while incorporating the mechanical and aesthetic touches enthusiasts look for in a thoughtfully executed restomod.
