The seller offers for sale this 1984 GMC C20 pick-up truck, a full-size workhorse from the American automotive tradition. Fitted with a 5.7-litre V8 engine running on LPG and an automatic transmission, it combines raw power with ease of use. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2022 and has since undertaken extensive maintenance and updates to ensure optimal road performance and longevity. Invoices are available to document this work, including motor, technical, and electrical overhauls.
Further improvements were made in 2024 to enhance driving dynamics, reflecting the owner’s commitment to mechanical upkeep. This C20 features front disc brakes, a useful upgrade for a vehicle of this size and weight.
The exterior is in fair condition. Some small dents are visible near the tailgate and on the driver-side rear light, and light cosmetic repairs may be needed.
The interior is in good condition, with the bench seat having been reupholstered and re-padded in 2023, while the rest remains original and intact.
Technically, the truck is described as solid and ready to drive. Lighting and indicators are operational, and the vehicle has a valid inspection certificate.
The GMC C20 is part of General Motors’ long-running line of full-size pickup trucks. The “C” designation signifies a two-wheel-drive configuration, and the “20” refers to a three-quarter-ton capacity, placing it between the lighter C10 and heavier-duty C30. Built during an era when American trucks were transitioning from purely utilitarian machines to more versatile and comfortable vehicles, the C20 from the early 1980s represents a blend of rugged design and modest refinement.
The 1984 model year was part of the third generation of GM’s C/K trucks, known for their square body design, durability, and ease of maintenance. These trucks were popular with both tradespeople and private owners, thanks to their reliability and parts availability. Many were fitted with powerful small-block or big-block V8s, and over the years, the C/K series developed a cult following among collectors and modifiers.
While many GMC trucks from this period were worked hard and discarded, survivors like this one—with documented maintenance, intact structure, and limited modifications—are becoming increasingly sought-after. The conversion to LPG is a practical touch for European owners, lowering fuel costs and emissions.
This C20 strikes a balance between usability and collectibility, and its classic proportions and utility make it appealing for both hobby use and as a dependable vintage utility vehicle.
