Custom trucks are pretty popular these days, but this rig steps it up to a whole new level. What we’re seeing here is a 1993 GMC TopKick boasting a variety of interesting upgrades and unique touches, and, as it just so happens, it’s up for sale, as well.
For those readers who may be unaware, the GMC TopKick, alongside its corporate cousin, the Chevy Kodiak, were produced between 1980 and 2009 as variants of the medium-duty C/K truck line, with three generations coming and going over the years. Essentially, these massive machines serve as cargo haulers, buses, utility vehicles, and the like, and now, we’re checking out this particular custom version now offered for sale.
The first thing to grab us about this 1993 GMC TopKick is the pick-up truck bed conversion, with the truck now boasting an eight-foot Chevy Silverado HD dually bed. The truck is riding on powder-coated 22.5-inch steel wheels wrapped in new 40-inch tires, and it’s also running a set of Illinois B-truck license plates, which are issued to Second Division vehicles weighing 8,000 pounds or less. Of course, we also have to mention the Chevy 454 SS decals and Grand Sport striping, which may or may not tickle your fancy.
Under the hood is a 6.0L fuel-injected V8 engine, which mates to a five-speed Eaton manual transmission and Eaton rear end with a 4.63 final drive ratio. The listing states that the rig can return upwards of 10 mpg while towing 10,000 pounds.
Upgrades were made to the interior as well, with a new Alpine audio system, hands-free phone system, Bluetooth-enabled stereo, and CD head unit, although photos of the cabin are unavailable.
“Just about everything imaginable has been mechanically restored, replaced or is new,” the listing states.
The listing also says this 1993 GMC TopKick is originally from Florida and doesn’t show any rot or rust, a critical detail considering the truck is now located in Morris, Illinois. With over $45,000 invested, the custom 1993 GMC TopKick is now listed for $22,500.

Neat truck but where’s the 454?
Nice truck but huge financial loss.
I think Monroe used to put out something similar back in the day.
Those trucks usually came with a 366 cu in big block, which is 6.0 litres. It’s an easy sway for a 454 cu in big block, which is probably what’s in here now. I’m guessing some of the information is incorrect here.
I’m gonna need a bigger garage door@!
Love it, looks like a bargain to me
Nice truck. Hasn’t been any medium duty news around here an some time.
I’d love to have it just so I could park in in town and wait for some activist to try to put a fake ticket under the windshield wiper.
I like to have one similar, great job
Still available?? How much? I have cash.
FYI…I’m the guy that owns this beast. Thanks for the free marketing GM Authority! I listed on Racing Junk for additional exposure. Great Truck. Not for someone that does not want attention! To clarify, this has a 366 V6, Tall Deck, FueI-Injected, OBD1, Truck-specific workhorse engine not a Vortec 6.0L or 454 as has been speculated. I have put a ton of time and money since bringing it home. The original build was solid but needed a lot of details that were missed. I think the expense of the chassis build was overwhelming to the creator. I have it all sorted out now and it is reliable and comfortable as a beast like this can be. I used it to tow my race rig to Road America last June and it got 10mpg. It received more looks than my 850HP NASCAR Stock Car, my son’s gorgeous black-on-black C6-6-speed Corvette, a 502BBC 1968 Corvette and a 458 Ferrari that came to visit most of the weekend! Thanks for all the positive comments and for those keyboard jockey-haters that wish they had it I say keep dreaming! All my best to the GM blog community. Regards, Mike
V8 not V6….sorry
