Vehicle Description
This is a good, solid, working mans truck. It's a southern truck
it's entire life. Is it a modern classic? Yes. They are desirable
because they are not only good looking, but very capable trucks. Is
this one gussied up with fancy paint and aftermarket accessories?
No. And that's the beauty of it. Check it out.
This is a two-owner truck that was passed down from father to son
who drove it for 17 years and has decided to sell it now. Somewhere
along the way, it received a repaint in its original Red with
Silver accent and it still looks good. Up front the grill leads
with a GMC badge letting everyone know that this is a Professional
Grade machine. It is underlined by a sharp looking bumper which,
like the rest of the chrome on the truck shines brightly and is in
really good shape. The other chrome includes trim around the wheel
wells, drip edge above the doors and trim rings on the steel
wheels. Sierra appears on the front fenders and body side molding
divides the two-tone paint down the length of the truck. The bed is
topped by rather handy bed-rails and the tailgate has a protective
strip along the top. This is a working mans truck, and the back
bumper has a wry little smile to it that makes you wonder exactly
how that happened. It's probably a good story.
Open the door and you will find a stock interior which, like your
favorite pair of old work jeans, is wearing its miles of service
with pride and a little fading here and there. The bench seat is
comfortable and has plenty of room for three because the shifter
for the automatic transmission is on the column, not occupying
floorspace. The column tilts so you can find a comfortable driving
position and has cruise control to make those long trips a bit
easier. The stock dash is logically laid out and familiar to GMC
fans with the speedo in the center and engine gauges off to the
left. Ventilation controls in the middle and just below them is a
radio with both AM and FM bands for your listening pleasure.
Pop the hood and you will find a tried and true 5.0-liter V8 motor
nestled down in the engine bay. It is all stock with signs of good
regular maintenance through the years. The belts and hoses are in
good shape, the battery looks to have been replaced fairly
recently, and the air conditioning lines also appear to have been
replaced somewhere along the way. The power it makes flows back
through a 4-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels which
are mounted on leaf springs. Up front, control arms, coil springs
and a beefy sway bar work together with the power steering to make
this truck very maneuverable in parking lots and handle well on the
road. Power front disc brakes assure that you have good stopping
power no matter what kind of load you are hauling, and the rubber
meets the road through 275/60R15s all around mounted on steel
wheels with polished trim rings.
This is a good, honest, southern GMC pickup truck. Come on down and
check it out.
