The GMC Sonoma is a badge-engineered version of the Chevy S10 compact pickup truck. Introduced in 1981, it was initially called S-15 by GMC. However, the name Sonoma debuted for the 1991 model year, making this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special the first of its kind. 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?

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.
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 90s brought some of the most iconic motors to life; the Japanese had their range of performance machines, the Europeans had their M spec and AMG machines, and over in the US, machines like the GMC Syclone stole the show. With its unassuming features and high performance, the GMC Syclone kicked off the performance truck craze that is still present today and is a hot seller for many manufacturers. Present here is this 1991 GMC Syclone that is only 1 if 2,998 total Syclones produced. This classic American performance machine is a time capsule from the '90s and is reported to be an all-original example with a documented 73,500 miles on the clock.
The Jeep CJ series can trace its roots back to the original Willy’s Jeep, the car that mobilized the American forces during the Second World War. Since then, the Jeep CJ has found its way into the hearts of many around the world, who appreciate this quintessential offroader for its rugged abilities and backyard mechanic simplicity. The CJ-7 was introduced in 1976 and would be the last “CJ” Jeep before the introduction of the Wrangler that we know today. Our featured 1978 Jeep CJ-7 is described as a restomod, with a 304ci V8 engine, and a whole host of improvements to be found under the metal — that’s in no small part thanks to the owner reportedly spending over $13,000 in aftermarket work alone!
People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
Classic cars from the ’60s are hot property. But it’s not just cars that have found their way into the hearts of enthusiasts. Humble work trucks like the 1963 Chevrolet C10 are just as desirable. With values for these historic workhorses climbing year after year, it’s getting hard to find good examples of these classics. Our featured 1963 Chevrolet C10 Stepside appears to be largely original and features a 230ci engine, with a four-speed manual transmission. Whether you’re looking for a well-preserved classic truck or the perfect basis for a restomod, this C10 could be the answer you’re looking for.
