1970 GMC 1/2 Ton Stepside Pickup

Description

This 1970 GMC stepside pickup is that perfect mix of shining classic and honest pickup. And so for one great price, you can have a vintage ride that helps you with the chores on Saturday and steals the car show on Sunday.

We like this truck's shade of blue that has a modern luster and timeless appeal. This nice finish really brings out the curves of the desirable stepside bed. Adding to the shine are the chrome bumpers and the GMC's exclusive grille. This truck has a carefully crafted image where even the unmistakable upgrades don't seem out of place for a 1970s machine. This includes the deleted badging, hot rod-style side mirror, and slotted mag wheels. It shows that there was a careful eye for mixing vintage and new. And this careful attitude seems right, because the consignor states he bought it in 2017 from the original owner's family. So it spent decades under proper care, and you see the evidence, right down to the gloss of the real wood in the truck bed.

There was an investment in the interior that gives you good fundamentals in places like the carpeting, door panels, and dash pad. There's even added comfort in the later-model GMC steering wheel and bench seat with comfy cloth inserts. None of the upgrades take away from the vintage feeling. That's because you have some of the best classic truck parts, like the column-mounted shifter and a sliding rear window for old-school breezes through the cab.

Lift the hood and see a true marvel. Hardly any of the smooth running straight-six motors are seen in 1970s vintage GM trucks anymore. Despite the fact that these anvils of a motor were the backbone for the company's dependability reputation, they often get replaced by the small-block V8s. We understand why this happens and sell plenty of those custom trucks, too. But with so many of those out there, this motor just adds to this truck's distinction. Plus, it fires up easily, idles nicely, and pulls strong thanks to the control of the three-speed manual transmission. And the upgraded wheels give you the advantage of wide modern tires to keep this classic pickup a smoother cruiser.

This truck is always a talking piece, right down to its stepside bed with a real glossy wood floor. So at a price this affordable, you know you have to hurry if you want to take it home. Call now!
