This Boyd Coddington built 1989 C1500 GMC is one of the most iconic custom trucks built in the last 35 years. This truck has been credited with starting the sport truck movement that we all know and love and that exploded in the late 1980’s and through the 1990’s and beyond. If you were a teenager in the late 1980’s to early 2000’s then you lived the sport truck movement and experienced the insane industry growth that happened because of it. The popularity of the C/K series of GM trucks, now referred to as the OBS Chevy and GMC, was insane when it first came out in 1988 as it was such a departure from the previous generations of GM truck. They were smoother, cleaner, more aerodynamic, and modern and they perfectly balanced the utility of a truck with the looks of a hot rod, at least when you slam them and do them up right!
