Here's where your love for both a classic pickup and a useful truck
really come together. This 1956 GMC 100 Utility Pickup has that
vintage cab, minty paint, and plenty of brightwork. But it's also a
full custom build with a fuel-injected V8, overdrive transmission,
a custom/handy long bed, and a strong 2500HD Silverado frame. And
you get to enjoy the full package from an upgraded A/C
interior.
The GMC 100-series truck looked great in 1956. This was the era of
some of the most artful chrome and sheetmetal around, and GMC
utilized it full on these pickups. The hood has a power bulge; the
grille is a beautiful wave form; and the headlights look like they
were inspired by the '56 Chevy Bel Air. So this truck really has a
terrific classic style. They even wrapped this in a bright and
minty green with an ivory white topper on the roof. But as you move
down the lines of this truck, you start to see it's full value. A
long bed like this one was never something offered by GMC back in
the day. It fits with an almost seamless style, but features like
the storage compartments in the sides are an unmistakable modern
convenience. And that diamond plate bed with tie-down anchors is
going to get you thinking about what projects and motorcycles look
the best back here. Plus, there are more great modern details
integrated into this classic-style package, like the proper trailer
hitch with plug, wide side mirrors, and large 20-inch polished
wheels that allow for modern tires.
The interior received the full custom treatment, too. The minty
green returns inside, and now it's joined by a tasteful tan. You'll
like it best on the upgraded leather bucket seats that are far more
comfortable than anything from the 1950s. They even individually
power adjust to your ideal position. There's also an armrest center
console, cup holders, power windows, power outlets, and
cold-blowing air conditioning. It's easy to get long haul
comfortable in this pickup, and that's why they also gave you an
upgraded wood-rimmed steering wheel, tilt column, and a digital
gauge package that glows green to coordinate with the truck.
The engine bay keeps the green theme going with the smooth inner
walls and even color-matched details like the brake booster and
engine cover. More than just look great, you'll love that this has
been upgraded to a fuel-injected LT1 350 cubic-inch V8. So this
upgraded truck has a hardy heart. There's even added power and
rumble to this motor thanks to shorty headers feeding the dual
exhaust. The four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and Positraction rear end
really make this a practical and easy to drive machine. And because
the full custom setup sits on a later 3/4 ton truck frame, it
really can live up to the extra-duty dreams you have for this
one.
Such a useful classic like this will be awesome taking around your
toys, promoting your business, or just being fun all on its own. So
at such an obtainable price, you know you need to hurry on this
deal. Call today!!!
