The reason full-sized pickups remain popular after all these years is that they offer what is essentially the muscle car formula: big V8 up front, rear wheel drive, and rugged mechanicals that will easily take the abuse of a few full-throttle runs. This GMC packs a 350 cubic inch V8 topped by an Edelbrock carburetor and Holley intake manifold, but nothing radical so it’s an easy cruiser. Beyond a chrome air cleaner and some bright yellow plug wires, it isn’t really detailed for show, but that’s not really the point here. Instead, it’s as reliable as a cinder block, has great torque to make it entertaining to drive, and with a 700R4 4-speed automatic, it’s even reasonably thrifty on the highway. The dual exhaust sounds awesome, another link to the muscle car era, and the suspension sits just right, not too low and not towering over the pavement. Of course, those flashy Torque Thrust-style wheels certainly help, especially when wrapped in fat Sumitomo performance radials.
