This 1972 GMC C1500 wears a striking two-tone Dark Olive Green paint scheme that amplifies its muscular form. Every exterior element has been refreshed during its frame-off restoration by Southwest Classics in Arlington, Texas - from the new front and rear bumpers to the Sierra Grande trim that adds distinctive character to this classic hauler. Professionally converted from a long bed to a short bed by the experts at Aaron Petty in Shawnee, Oklahoma, the truck sits low and aggressive on 20-inch Billet Rally style wheels wrapped in 245/45R20 front and 275/40R20 rear tires from 2024.
The very pretty green houndstooth interior creates a period-correct atmosphere while incorporating modern conveniences. A custom Chevrolet steering wheel mounted on a tilt steering column provides excellent control, while the bench seat offers comfortable seating for cruising. The Custom Autosound AM/FM/Aux radio blends vintage styling with modern functionality. Fresh door panels, carpet, and dash components contribute to the showroom-quality feel inside the cabin. Air conditioning and power steering ensure comfortable operation during any drive.
The 350 V8 engine provides strong performance through a 4-barrel carburetor. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission delivers power to the 12-bolt rear end, while CPP suspension components including drop spindles and front coil springs create the perfect stance. The mechanical upgrades continue with power disc brakes up front, a high-performance radiator, and dual exhaust with aftermarket mufflers for an authoritative sound.
