1981 GMC 1500 4-SPEED

GMC Sierra C1500 short bed 2WD pickup was treated to an inside-and-out restoration that incorporated an overhauled drivetrain, a full repaint in House of Kolor Lapis Blue Metallic, and a custom two-tone gray and black bench interior. The rebuilt 350ci V8 received a performance camshaft, an Edelbrock carburetor, and an aluminum radiator as part of the refurbishment, and power is transferred to the rear by way of a Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shift lever. The GMC Sierra shared underpinnings with Chevrolet pickups of the same Rounded Line generation which started in 1973 and continued for nearly two decades. This 1981 C1500 has a regular-cab, short-bed fleetside body style and was coated in a respray of Lapis Blue Metallic. The body is described as being rust-free throughout, featuring a raised hood, smooth body lines, and glossy finishes. Brightwork is in place for the front and rear bumpers, wheel arch moldings, side view mirrors, and polished exhaust outlets behind each rear tire which round out a Flowmaster muffler system.
