GMC C/K 2nd Gen

The second-generation GMC C/K, known as the 'Action Line,' ran from 1967 to 1972 and marked a major shift in truck design. It introduced a more modern, integrated look that moved away from the purely utilitarian styling of its predecessors. A key engineering update was the available coil spring rear suspension, which provided a car-like ride that helped broaden the truck's appeal beyond the job site.

Collectors are drawn to the simple, handsome styling of these trucks. Their popularity is also fueled by immense versatility; with options like V8 engines, Fleetside or Stepside beds, and multiple trim levels, there's a configuration for every taste. The aftermarket support for the C/K is enormous, making it one of the most popular platforms for restorations, custom builds, and high-performance restomods. Short-bed models with V8 power are particularly desirable.

The market for 'Action Line' GMCs is strong and diverse. The average sale price sits around $31,000, but this figure masks a wide spread. Project trucks can be found for under $10,000, while professionally built restomods or perfectly restored stock examples can fetch over $80,000. Well-preserved, original trucks are increasingly sought after as many have been heavily modified over the years.

Recent sales show prices ranging from $6,600 for project-level trucks to $83,000 for concours-quality or highly modified examples.
