What to expect from 1980 pickups
When buying any type of older vehicle, it's important to keep in mind that safety, technology and comfort features have come a long way in the last 20 years or so. In 1980, pickups were generally considered work vehicles, so cabs tend to be smaller and less plush than today's family-sized ones. Expect features like a basic radio, manual windows and bench seating. Available options will include manual or automatic transmission, rear or all-wheel drive, and cargo bed type. One thing to look out for is rust damage. Most 1980s pickup trucks will have been exposed to a lot of different weather and road conditions over the years, and some rust is to be expected.
Popular pickup trucks from 1980
When shopping for a 1980s pickup truck, you're likely to come across some familiar names. The GMC Sierra may be synonymous with full-sized trucks today, but back in 1980, it was the name of a trim level. The 1980 GMC Sierra 1500 is built smaller and lower than modern pickups, making it easier to access the cargo bed.
The Chevrolet C/K Series was produced from 1960 to 2002. 1980 Chevrolet C/K 1500 pickups are part of the Square body generation, offering sharp, boxy exterior style. The 1980 Ford F-150 may not be as big or powerful as today's F-Series trucks, but it is available with regular, extended or crew cab.
