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.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy. Thoroughly inspect the cab corners, rocker panels, floor pans, and the trailing edge of the front fenders.
- Check the frame and suspension mounting points, especially on trucks with the coil spring rear end. Look for cracks or rust around the trailing arm mounts.
- Many trucks have had engine swaps. Verify the quality of the work and ask for documentation. Original matching-numbers V8 trucks command a premium.
- Examine body panel alignment and door gaps. Inconsistent gaps can signal a history of accidents or a low-quality restoration.
- Interior parts can be difficult to find in good original condition. Check the dash pad for cracks and ensure gauges and switches are functional.
