Description

These trucks are a very popular style, and for good reason-they're easy to customize and to make look awesome. This 1986 GMC Sierra 1500 Restomod is a perfect example. Nothing over the top, just a well-put-together color scheme with red and black rims, a strong drivetrain, and an excellent interior. The front grille, bumper, and rear bumper have a stock appearance and look very solid. The painted black inlay on the tailgate blends in perfectly with the rest of the color theme. The taillights flow smoothly, and all the molding and other chrome-plated pieces fit in smoothly as well. The cowl induction hood is the final touch to complete the exterior's sharp look.

The interior is mostly black, with some exterior red coloring carried on from the exterior. The seats are aftermarket, wrapped in vinyl, and look great with the red pinstriping-as do the door panels. A custom steering wheel sits nicely in front of the stock-configured gauge cluster. The actual gauges are aftermarket Dakota Digital VHX analogue-style gauges, but still resemble the look and feel of the stock setup. Two custom cupholders are installed in the middle of the bench seat. A Pioneer AM/FM/Bluetooth radio is mounted in the middle of the dashboard, right below the heat, defrost, and air-conditioning controls. To round out the goodies, there are power locks, power windows, and a tilt steering wheel.

Under the hood is a GM 6.0-liter V8 with electronic fuel injection, 799 heads, and a mild performance cam that's paired with a GM factory ECM swap (computer), so everything runs in sync. The transmission is a 4L80E with a Circle D stall converter. That sends power to a 10-bolt rear axle, connected to leaf springs and shocks for the rear suspension, while the front suspension relies on coil springs and shocks. Front power disc brakes and rear power drum brakes handle the stopping duties, and the 22-inch US Mag wheels ensure this truck always looks badass. Helping deliver a smooth ride and confident traction are 265/35R22 Toyo 2021 tires.
