GMC is a division of General Motors that primarily focuses on SUVs, trucks, vans, buses, motor homes and military vehicles. Some of GMC’s vehicles were actually built by Chevrolet before being rebadged as GMC models. In the 1960s, Chevrolet’s range of C/K light-duty trucks was rebadged as the GMC 1000 (½ ton), 1500 (3/4 ton), 2500 (1 ton) and 3500 (1½ ton). This example is a 1966 GMC 1000 Series Big Window Fleetside light-duty truck that has undergone a ‘restomod’ – in that it has been restored, as well as given a modern makeover in certain areas. Coming from Texas with less than 200 miles on the clock after the rebuild, this vehicle is sure to get your pulse racing, as well as turn heads as you drive by.
A cursory glance at the exterior of this 1966 GMC 1000 Series Big Window Fleetside will not reveal much as to what lies beneath the skin. Finished in an eye-catching red paintwork, the first thing that your eyes will pickup are the Raceline Executive 22” billet wheels wrapped in Continental rubber. You may notice the disc brakes lurking behind, appreciate the red-stained wood in the bed that matches the paintwork and the chrome detailing, as well as the ‘Custom’ and ‘V6’ badging too. Peeking inside will reveal a cabin that retains the original leather bench once again wrapped in red leather, as well as a modern Pioneer head unit and upgraded speaker system that the current owner claims “sounds phenomenal”, as well as a VintageAir AC system with its controls sitting in the center of the red-painted dash. You will then notice the custom Billet Specialties steering wheel, and sitting behind it, a Racepack electronic digital gauge cluster. By now, you must be realizing that this isn’t a regular GMC 1000. The vehicle has new carpets, as well as new glass with vent window and replaced tracks and felts.
That V6 badge? It’s a red herring. Whilst the GMC 1000 range did come with a 305ci V6 option, as well as a smattering of in-line sixes, this 1966 GMC 1000 Series Big Window Fleetside packs a LSX 440 Dart motor which is based on the Chevrolet LS7 V8 from the Corvette. The block is rated at up to 1,200 hp, as are the Holley Dominator dual sequence fuel pumps. A custom grind cam by Texas Speed is installed, as are Greg Good machined heads. Drive is to the rear wheels via an RPM 4L60 automatic transmission that is rated for up to 900hp. Disc brakes are installed all-round, and electric power steering is another upgrade under the hood. The fuel tank has been relocated beneath the bed. Finally, it’s received a custom tune by HPC, and has been dynoed at 619hp at the rear wheels.
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 GMC Jimmy is the sister vehicle of the Chevrolet Blazer. Both vehicles are basically SUV variants of the Chevy C/K-series of pickup trucks, and offer a more family-friendly value proposition. Until 1976, these SUVs also came with a removable hardtop, although it wasn’t as straightforward to remove as a typical convertible top. If you’d like to own one of these iconic vehicles, check out this 1975 GMC Jimmy High Sierra 4WD that’s for sale right now in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The vehicle has reportedly covered 58,000 miles so far.
The Chevy C/K Series was also marketed under the GMC name, as continues to this day with the Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra combo. After all, why invest millions of dollars to develop a truck for each brand under your umbrella when you can share synergies? Automakers have been doing it for decades, which is one of the main reasons why we have such a broad array of models on offer. The GMC C1500 is basically a Chevy C10, and was produced alongside it. Hence, this 1969 GMC C1500 Suburban Pickup hails from the second generation of the series, and has undergone a full frame-off restoration effort that concluded in 2020. Living in Goodland, Florida, this fine truck could be yours.
If you take the macho-est of macho SUVs from the late 1990s and early 2000s, it is safe to say that the Hummer will definitely be one of the top contenders. The Hummer had major challenges to overcome after briefly falling victim to GM's bankruptcy and becoming a prominent target of environmental activists. As a result, a new Hummer arose from the ashes that not only excited the off-road crowd but also pleased the eco-chorus. Designed to tackle any off-road terrain, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup is a huge all-electric supertruck. Our subject example is located in Corydon, Indiana, with just 3,803 miles on its clock. This all-stock Hummer comes with original manuals and exciting dealer-installed features that make this already impressive off-roader even more exciting.
