Vehicle Description
This 1953 GMC 100 5-Window pickup has all the right looks for a
cool vintage truck. And while you take extra time appreciating all
the classic curves and details, you'll also spot a few well-placed
upgrades to make it a better cruiser.
The dark green paint is a great color to represent this era. It's a
single-stage finish, so it has a classic tone to go with its good
gloss. But you'll like best how the light rolls off those curvy
fenders with nostalgia. The iconic brightwork elements like the
distinctive GMC grille, chrome bumpers, and trim also love to
shine. It's impressively vintage, right down to details, like the
color-matched steel wheels with two-piece trim, durable black steel
running boards, real wood in the truck bed, and a full-size spare
mounted to the side of the bed. But if you look closely, there are
a few hints that this one likes to show off a bit more. It's in
subtle ways, like the blue-dot tail lights.
The interior continues this ready-to-work time capsule feel. The
side panels, door handles, headliner, and durable rubber flooring
have a period-correct feel. The only upgrade you may spot is handy
seatbelts to go with the classic bench seat. And there are
impressive details, like the working horn and AM radio. Even the
classic heater still works, so there's a bit of nostalgia as it
warms you up like the first light of a March morning, and you're on
your way out to the farm fields. And speaking of light, the
five-window cab lets in plenty of it, so you can see all the
details inside this classic GMC.
You'll see this pickup's year-correct 228 cubic-inch motor when you
lift the hood. This orange block looks great in the engine bay,
especially next to the oil bath air cleaner. It fires up readily,
and there's so much room in the engine bay that we bet you'll love
tinkering with it on the weekends. This one gives you the classic
truck feel, right down to the four-speed manual transmission with
the ultra-low granny gear for the real pickup experience. And
because this one wants to be a better all-around cruiser, you have
upgrades like a 12-volt electrical system, an alternator, and
modern touring tires. None of it's too noticeable to the casual
observer, but it makes for a noticeably better driver out on the
road.
You're looking at the ideal vintage setup for those who want to be
authentic and get the best. Such a nice all-around classic pickup
is a package we're all looking for, so don't miss out. Call
