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!
This lovely 1966 GMC 1000 Fleetside wears a red paint job which is fitting for a truck that is meant to turn heads and invite people to ask questions. Further helping its cause is a set of Raceline Executive 22-inch billet wheels shod in brand-new Continental tires. We’re informed that all the glass is new, including the vent window, and that the window tracks and felts are new too. This should tell you how meticulous this truck’s rebirth has been. Continuing our journey of discovery, we find new front and rear chrome bumpers. Capping off this beautiful exterior outlook is a new bed wood with red stain, to match the eye-catching custom paint job worn by the truck. The interior of this 1966 GMC 1000 Fleetside has been thoroughly modernized, while retaining its classic lines. The original dashboard remains, but there’s a Racepack digital gauge cluster, and a Pioneer Bluetooth-capable head unit present. Then, you have a Vintage Air air conditioning unit, new carpet, upgraded speakers and a Billet Specialties billet steering wheel. Meanwhile, the truck’s original seats remain in place.
Packing a new LSX 440ci Dart V8 that’s said to be capable of 1,200 horsepower, this 1966 GMC 1000 Fleetside isn’t exactly slow. The gearbox is a RPM 4L60 unit that can handle up to 900 horsepower. As it stands, the power output has been reportedly dyno-tested at 619 horsepower to the rear wheels, courtesy of a HPC custom tune. That’s not all, the truck has got a custom grind cam by Texas Speed, Greg Good machine heads, and Holley Dominator dual sequence fuel pumps. The fuel tank has been relocated under the bed, and there are new disc brakes for better stopping power.

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.
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.
Fun fact; the CJ in Jeep CJ stands for Civilian Jeep! By 1944, Willys-Overland had started planning a civilian variant of the popular military Jeep that had revolutionized battlefields all across the theaters of World War II. They knew that the War was coming to an end, and so would their bread-and-butter product. So, by 1945, the CJ-2A was introduced and sold over 214,000 units in just four years. CJ-1 and CJ-2 were prototypes and thus not available to the public. The series continued for decades, with the CJ-7 coming in 1976. This particular 1978 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade is thus one of over 379,000 units built over a 11-year production run. Bearing 7,101 miles on the odometer, this vehicle resides in Anderson, South California, and is waiting for a new custodian.
The 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
