For Sale: 1953 GMC Custom in Concord, North Carolina

STK 3490 1953 GMC Rat Rod

This 1953 GMC 'Rat Rod' is a traditional hot rod in the true sense of the word. The all-steel pick-up body has been mounted on a '72 Monte Carlo frame and then refinished in Satin Black with 'barn-board' veneered panels and many, many custom accents. Extensive fabrication work has been completed that included adding width and an 18" extension to the cab, removal of the roof and rearward tilt of the windshield. The GMC is also fitted with a Chevy truck hood and grill from the same era. The pickup bed was shortened to four feet and utilizes the original GMC hood modified to serve as a hinged cover. The truck's bed contains a fuel cell, 5 gal. fuel can and all electrics (12 volt).

Major mechanical enhancements include:
• 2002 Silverado 5.3L Vortec engine
• Nitrous connections (not hooked)
• Silverado 4-speed Automatic transmission
• 10-Bolt GM posi-traction differential
• Power steering
• Power disc/drum brakes
• Air-ride suspension
• Cooper Cobra Radial Tires
• Dual free-flowing exhaust

The original interior has been recreated with bucket seats, center console, power windows (need TLC), full instrumentation w/tach, tilt wheel, 'Dual' AM/FM/CD sound system and custom accents that need to be seen to be appreciated. It is a work of art. This GMC Rat Rod was built to be driven - become the next owner and have some fun. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
