This 1971 GMC K1500 has undergone a comprehensive restoration by its previous owner. The refurbishment includes a powder-coated black frame, a green repaint, installation of a sleek gray leather interior, and a potent 6.0-liter Vortec V8 engine, matched with a 4L80 four-speed automatic transmission, a 205 dual-range transfer case, and 3/4-ton axles. This 4x4 boasts an array of modifications, such as an aftermarket steel front bumper, power-operated side steps, and a factory rear bumper. The bed is protected with undercoating, while a front light bar and quad aftermarket headlights illuminate the path ahead.
Under the hood, the 6.0-liter Vortec V8 has been tweaked for performance with an open-filter intake, Doug Thorley headers, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. Additional features include an aluminum fuel tank, heat insulating wrapped around the exhaust, and G2 differential covers both front and back.
Outfitting for off-road adventures, this GMC sits tall on a 6" Off-Road Designs suspension lift kit, supported by Fox shocks. It rolls on rugged 17" Method wheels wrapped in Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. Enhanced braking performance is ensured with four-wheel disc brakes featuring braided stainless-steel lines.
Inside, comfort meets functionality with a custom-wrapped bench seat and gray leather door panels complemented by rubber floor covering. The cabin houses a heater and a Bluetooth-capable Alpine stereo system with aftermarket speakers and a subwoofer. The driver is greeted by a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel against a dash painted to match the exterior. Instrumentation is completed with a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level.
