While the Blazer is an iconic and forever etched sturdy off-road vehicle in the minds of most American people, its ancestor or progenitor was the Chevrolet and GMC C10 models. The C10 was a reliable workhorse with either an Inline-six or a V8 engine. Initially designated and sold as the Action-Line pickup trucks, the GMC C/K series sold well, with production plants all over the USA, Canada, and South America. Our subject vehicle, a 1971 GMC C10 ½ ton pickup truck with almost all original parts. This truck is currently offered for sale, located in Texas.

The exterior still retains its badges, including the “GMC 1500 Super Custom” badge, which denotes the top-of-the-line trim level given by GMC for the C10. Inside features black interior upholstery.

Engine
Powered by General Motor's 350ci V8 engine mated to an automatic 3-speed transmission, it produces 250hp @ 4400rpm with 350Nm @ 3000 RPM. While the small-block engine is not the biggest engine that came with the motor, it was an upgrade compared to other base model engines.
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.

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 second generation of Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks would see a sister model created, called the GMC Sierra. Today, you can still buy a GMC Sierra, which is closely based on the Chevrolet Silverado, which is what the C/K line-up became. Yes, General Motors’ boffins have used synergies and economies of scale to ensure that they can offer two similar pickup trucks from different brands under their umbrella. Today’s example is a 1986 GMC Sierra Classic 1500 from Crosby, Texas, and it’s done under 25,000 miles since receiving quite a bit of attention. The truck comes with the original owner’s manuals but there’s a 355ci Blueprinted crate V8 under the hood, an aftermarket exhaust, aftermarket wheels and so much more. Read on to find out why this truck deserves your attention.
The Chevrolet C/K Series of pickup trucks was introduced in 1960, and is the sister of the GMC C/K Series. General Motors knew that by sharing platforms, engines and other mechanical componentry across brands, they could realize synergies and enhanced economies of scale. This is seen today, with the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra duo. Here, we have a 1970 GMC C2500 Fleetside which comes from the second generation of the Chevy/GMC C/K-Series line-up. This era ran between 1967 and 1972, with the trucks assembled in a variety of places across the country. This particular truck comes from Hemingford, Nebraska and is a two-wheel drive variant, denoted by its C moniker. Furthermore, its 2500 designation tells us that it’s a ¾-ton truck. If you’re on the lookout for a classic American truck with some capability but in great condition for showing off as well, this is the ideal candidate to pick.
