1982 GMC K-15

Description

If you want a Cowboy Cadillac with the emphasis on Cowboy, check out this classic 1980s GMC. Instead of buying something everyone else can buy at the local dealership for 3 times the money, check out this unique, capable, and good-looking K-15.

Starting with a straight and solid truck, a coat of black paint was applied and then clear coated. Complimenting those expanses of shiny black is sharp looking chrome pieces. Starting up front, a horizontal billet grill is underlined by a bright chrome bumper. LED headlights for both low and high beams add to the look too. Badging on the fenders was left off in favor of a clean look down the side with only wheel well moldings adding their splash of flash. Out back the tailgate ties the taillights together with a silver trim panel outlined with a thin black line and underlined by another sharp looking bumper. This truck looks great but is also ready to get the job done too with black line-X bed liner and a trailer receiver for pulling anything you wish for work or play.

Open the door and you are in for a treat. You may not even notice the neat and clean black door panel at first because the Red and Black treatment of the rest of the interior is going to jump out and grab your attention. The high back bucket seats have pleated red seating surfaces and smooth black panels with red stitching surrounding it. And they look awesome! Between them is a lockable center console. The seats are matched by a custom headliner of black with red inserts that includes an overhead console with speakers, storage, and a dome light. A stock two-spoke GMC steering wheel sits in front of a largely stock dash with a couple nice upgrades. A Sony AM/FM/CD and iPod compatible head unit is there for your listening pleasure, there is A/C to keep you cool, and an auxiliary gauge pack sits under the dash just in front of the 4WD shift lever. A tinted sliding back glass and a passenger side dash trim panel complete the look.

Pop the hood and you will see that the truck really shines under here too. The engine bay is neat and clean with a 350 cubic inch V8 nestled down into it. A black air topper with Chevrolet and a bowtie in red sit on top of a K&N filter and feeds clean air to a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. A Weiand intake manifold gets the mixture to stock heads, and red spark plug wires compliment the air topper. Long tube headers get the spent gasses out and headed back to Flowmaster mufflers. The radiator appears to be new and the A/C components appear to have been updated when they converted it to R134 also. Power is sent back through a 4-speed automatic transmission, through the transfer case and out to either the back wheels, or all 4 wheels. The rubber meets the road through 33X12.50 tires mounted on steel wheels with trim rings.

Something a little different. A unique, capable and very good looking truck that will turn heads and get the job done too.
