As you might glean from the photos, this isn't quite a regular Sonoma, as it's got some visual and performance upgrades going on. Keep reading to discover what they are, and if this truck strikes your fancy, give us a call or shoot us a message, and we'll tell you how to get your hands on it.
There's nothing quite like a single cab with a truck bed behind it. That's what countless pickup trucks have been offering in America for decades, and it's what this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special offers, too. Decked out in gray paint, this truck's aftermarket alloy wheels are more prominent, especially when wrapped with tires that look more on-road performance-oriented. Then, when you view this truck face-on, its aftermarket hood with massive air intake and twin black stripes become apparent. We also notice that the headlamps have been upgraded on this Illinois-plated truck. The truck's bed has got a tonneau cover for security and weather protection, so you can treat it like a car or SUV in terms of cargo carriage. Meanwhile, there are widebody rear fenders for further visual drama. Yes, this truck is a sort of racing machine, and you're about to discover more. The gray cloth interior includes the original seating, dashboard, and instrument cluster. But you'll note that upgraded Auto Meter Sport Competition gauges have been added, along with a gear shift light. The large tachometer stares at you face-on as you grip a Grant G/T sport steering wheel. Finally, there's an upgraded Kenwood head unit in the center console, offering USB and AUX inputs, as well as good old FM radio capabilities.
The highest engine available for the first-generation Sonoma was a 4.3-liter V6. However, this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special has received something much more potent. Beneath its large air-dammed hood lies a familiar sight: a 350ci V8 with Edelbrock air cleaner and cam covers. Now you know why this truck looks purposeful; it's got the goods to back up its claims. Power goes to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission, as we've told you. How that power goes to the road is entirely up to you - will it be smart, snappy launches, or clouds of tire smoke?

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.
