now 'loads of fun' compared to it's previous life as a Laundry
Truck! With an LS under the hood you can find new meaning to the
term 'spin cycle'. A spin around the block, spinning the tires, a
few donuts.....all things that could be accomplished in this truck
if you so choose. As simple as this truck may look, a whole lot of
work was done to it in order for it to look this good. The tasteful
build was done in about a 2 year period. Starting with the
exterior, new front and rear doors were sourced from a donor, and
new front fenders were added before the black paint was applied.
The frame was sandblasted and powder coated black before the body
was placed back on it. If you look closely at the exterior, you'll
see that although it is all black, different finishes and slightly
different variances of black were used. The parts that would've
been originally chrome, or white from the factory are now finished
in a textured black paint. The roof has been painted in a matte
black color, while the rest of the truck is finished in gloss
black. Five spoke Foose wheels also finished in black help round
out the exterior styling, while letterbox style tailpipes add a pop
of chrome to the side profile. Inside the truck are modern,
supportive bucket seats, and a bench seat - all are custom
upholstered. Dakota Digital gauges have been added to the dashboard
as well as the familiar Vintage Air controls for the Vintage Air
system. A utility-style floor mat is mounted at the front of the
truck, giving a reminder of its Laundry Truck days. The back of the
truck is finished in custom wood slat flooring and the rear side
walls have been finished in truck bed liner. The heart of this
sinister looking custom is a LS2 6.0L V8 transplanted from a Yukon
Denali that had been crashed. The odometer on the Yukon read
approximately 15k when the engine was taken out. A Performance
Systems Integration wiring kit helps make the engine swap possible
in this sleek truck. A Moser 9 rear end helps handle transfering
power to the pavement while gear selection is handled by a 4L80E
automatic transmission. See what the 'spin cycle' is all about in
this awesome, vintage GMC. A fresh build with an LS swap, custom
paint, and custom interior mean this is more than just an appliance
for getting around. This professionally built show truck is
guaranteed to make some heads spin at shows or in your
neighborhood. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our
