1968 GMC C10 C1500 Custom

Description

This 1968 GMC C1500 has a sleek two-tone, awesome wood, a houndstooth A/C interior, a crate V8, and more. And as you look over the full package, you can really see how this is freshly restored with an eye for details. It all makes for solid investments that deliver an intoxicating mix of vintage and modern.

Minty green sandwiched in-between a creamy white lower section and roof gives this one an instant classic style. But also take some time to appreciate the details. For example, the reason why a modern paint application looks so good on this pickup is that it has some timeless curves. The squared-off hood melts into a rounded fender line that runs the full profile, and the high gloss finish loves to show it all off. You also see this so well because there has been a solid investment in this truck to erase any workman roots. Heightening its attractiveness is plenty of mirror-like brightwork on the grille, bumpers, and stylish full-length trim. And we just love the glossy real wood in the truck bed. But this one likes to announce it's more than just vintage. A set of CPP drop spindles give this a sporty stance. Plus, it's wearing a classic set of American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, but the big 20-inch size gives this icon plenty of modern flair.

The interior continues to give you the desirable vintage style while also delivering the best in well-integrated modern upgrades. For example, the houndstooth cloth inserts in the seats are a great classic GM piece, but the whole seat has the fresh feeling of a proper investment. Plush carpeting, a smooth dash pad, and plenty of the exterior green on the metal components complete the classic truck look. What you'll also love are all the right well-placed upgrades. This includes a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with Bluetooth and cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. And while you have the classic dual-spoke steering wheel, it's now on a tilt column to give you a nice view of the full gauge package.

The engine bay has proper GM 350 cubic-inch V8 power. You can tell there were more big investments under the hood simply because no truck celebrating nearly half a century should look this tidy and fresh all on its own. There's quite a stock-style appearance everywhere from the color of the block to the detailed air grabber. But you can also spot worthwhile upgrades. It's a fresher crate V8 that also includes an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, a spacer, an Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, and an HEI ignition. There are updated DJM suspension components, and so this one rides with confidence going down the road. Plus, a rebuilt three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes w/front discs, and grippy low-profile tires keep it a great cruiser.

This sharply restored GMC has been given all the right investments to be the truck you've always wanted. It's a cruiser that leaves you wanting for nothing, and since it's turn-key ready right now, you need to call today!
