On the one hand, it has great solid mostly ORIGINAL bones! On the other hand, it needs your personal TLC to complete. Classic truck prices are increasing in value. Depending on how this truck is completed with additional time and materials, a few examples range from $25k to $35k, and even over $40k trading on the internet market. Having great bones, you are off to great start with the original 4 X 4 drivetrain, 305 E V6, 4 speed transmission, 8 foot Wide-Side bed, V6 badges, custom cab, chrome grill and body trim, glove box and other parts plus GMC Maintenance Manual. With the old truck bed removed, the truck is prepped for a new wood bed and the airy open cab is prepped for an interior finish. UPGRADES include a Holley 2-barrel carburetor and the removal of the gas tank from inside the cab and the installation of a (new) late model GM gas tank to the rear of the bed with the gas nozzle centered in the rear bumper for easy access. Power steering and Flaming River tilt have also been added. Chrome wheels are not original equipment but add a splash of 60s pizazz. Garaged and preserved. NO off-road as 2nd owner purchased on July 2, 1980 with an estimated 89,xxx miles. Current mileage is 94,123 (11/15/17). The legacy of this truck can carry forward for decades if taken care of as I have! You will be proud to take it anywhere, as I have since 1980. Cruising around town with one hand on the wheel and the other resting on the metal framed window or sill will remind you of the good old days! Custom body and window trim, as seen in the photos, includes the cool "V6" badges, once cleaned and polished will be ready to mount on the front fenders, which is an important piece to a 1965 GMC. Cruising to the local hardware store, grocery store or local car show catches the eyes of many. To view truck in action, visit 27 second YouTube video ?1965 GMC 4 X 4.? More recent videos available upon request. Raised in Missouri, transported to Tennessee where I live. GMC invested in one of the first mass-produced V6 engines with 1960 as the inaugural year. With 305 cubic-inches inside, it has V8 levels of horsepower. The truck is a great representation of this unique motor. The burly V6 not only wears the correct engine enamel, but also the period correct powerplant original to the truck. Here?s a vintage pickup that simply needs a visionary to continue the GMC legacy. This 4 X 4 pickup invites spectators to take a closer look at a cruise-in or just cruising. Once the hood is raised many believe it contains a BIG BLOCK Chevy; however, the original 305 E V6 is sufficient. The body has a wraparound crease which proves the 60s were a great time for designers even at GM?s truck division. You can see all these details today thanks to great care with the sheet metal.

A little GMC history?in 1956, GMC started building 4x4 trucks on the assembly lines using NAPCO components. Chevrolet followed in 1957 releasing their first production 4x4 pickups in 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton sizes. Prior to this, these trucks had 4x4 conversions done by NAPCO in which the trucks were sent out for a NAPCO Powr-Pak 4x4 conversion and then returned. The first All GM factory 4x4s were introduced in 1960 when both Chevy and GMC went to a totally new chassis. NAPCO and its Powr-Pak conversion were left out of the equation due to the introduction of GMs completely redesigned truck line featuring independent front suspension on the two wheel drive trucks and a 4-wheel drive specific chassis on the 4-wheel drive trucks. The 1960 model year introduced a new body style of light pick-up truck that featured many firsts. Most important of these were a drop-center ladder frame, allowing the cab to sit lower, and independent front suspension, giving an almost car-like ride in a truck. Also new for 1960 was a new designation system for trucks made by GM. Gone were the 3100, 3200, and 3600 designations for short 1/2, long 1/2 and 3/4-ton models. Instead, a new scheme assigned a 10, 20, or 30 for 1/2, 3/4, and 1-ton models. Since 1957, trucks were available from the factory as four-wheel drive, and the new class scheme would make this known. A C (conventional) in front of the series number indicates two-wheel rear drive while a K denotes four-wheel drive.
