1986 GMC Sierra 1500

Gorgeous, reliable, and professionally restored old-school truck with just the right amount of cool-factor. Purchased from the original owner (1986-2016). My company has been servicing this vehicle since 2001 and purchased the truck from the original owner last year to finish its mechanical restoration. The truck is in excellent condition with detailed service history included. The frame and body are in excellent condition and the truck was painted within the last 2-3 years with new emblems and garage kept for the majority of the time since then.


A newly painted dashboard was recently installed along with new A/C vents, headlight switch, ignition and door lock cylinders w/ new keys. Also, the normally dim instrument cluster lights were replaced with ultra-bright LEDs for much easier viewing at night. The radio has been replaced with a retro-style AM/FM radio with ipod controls.


All repairs made with high quality, premium parts that were designed to last and meet (and in most cases exceed) original design.

The engine was replaced approx. 29,000 miles ago upgrading the 305” engine to a high quality 350” engine. All related components were replaced and/or upgraded at the time including high volume oil pump, valve lifters, timing cover, flywheel & harmonic balancer. Runs better than new with no leaks. All fluids and service items up to date.


Ice cold A/C!!! Complete A/C replacement- new compressor & all related components w/ system disassembled and flushed 22,000 miles ago. Included picture shows 41 degree air from vent at high fan speed on a 90-degree day. Most new cars won't come within 10 degrees of that!

This is a classic truck in need of virtually no repairs. The carpet is original and sun bleached, and while the bench seat is in good condition, the cloth is torn at the driver's seat back and a bench seat cover has been installed. Following purchase in-person pickup is encouraged so we might go over the vehicle's finer points with you, but shipping is available on request.
