Vehicle Description
Beautiful, custom, powerful, and affordable - this 1955 GMC 100
pickup is everything you want in a vintage and attention grabbing
pickup, right down to the crate V8 and overdrive transmission.
This truck makes a striking first impression. After all, we just
don't see as many GMCs as we do Fords of Chevys. Plus, the dual
grille design and dual chrome front bumpers is the kind of true
style that feels more like a '50s car than a '50s truck. And we
love the artful crease that runs from the headlights all the way to
the rear of the cab. You see this particularly well, because the
red paint is a more modern application that has a terrific gloss in
the sunlight. Plus, the addition of the white on the top of the cab
not only adds a nice two-tone, but also emphasizes the desirable
big rear window option. And while this has a great vintage
presentation, right down to the tailgate, this classic is also
ready to keep working. The tonneau cover is a nice way to keep this
truck looking good while concealing a bed that's not afraid to get
dirty. And the upgraded rear bumper has wide steps and a trailer
hitch.
Inside continues this blend of vintage pieces with the right
upgrades. The exterior red returns on the doors and dash, and they
even added dash of white on the doors to match the exterior
two-tone. And with the wraparound windshield and back window, the
feeling inside is bright and airy. The seat has been upgraded to a
more modern bench that includes extra padding and comfortable cloth
inserts for where you sit. The radio has a retro look, but it's a
modern AM/FM digital tuner. And the tall Lokar shifter is a nice
upgrade that doesn't look out of place. You'll slip behind the
classic big GMC wheel, and it gives you a terrific view of the
upgraded full AutoMeter gauge panel with large speedo and tach.
But the best upgrade is under the hood. While '55 was the beginning
of GM's small block era, you have something larger and fresher
under the hood. This one has been upgraded to a 350 cubic-inch
crate V8. The bold orange motor looks good radiating from within
the dark engine bay, but more importantly, it has all the right
investments you want. This includes newer belts, good hoses, and an
aluminum radiator. The V8 inhales deeply from a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet sound out of the dual
exhaust. So you have the power you want in a truck, and the rumble
you love in a good classic. In fact, as a true driver, you get some
terrific upgrades like front disc brakes and a four-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive.
Complete with maintenance records, this is a great classic pickup
that has the look and features to be the ideal mix of fun and
versatile. So when all if this is also so obtainable, you know you
need to hurry on this deal. Call today!!!
