Vehicle Description
This 1953 GMC Panel Delivery likes to be a true custom with plenty
of fun and distinct details. So check out the two-tone paint,
awesome interior, and upgraded V8 power.
We love the GMCs of this era because they have all the best
features of the Advance Design era, like the curvy fenders, full
running boards, and alligator grille. It only gets better in GMC
form because they have a rarer kind of style, including a
beefy-looking grille that's great on pickups. But there's much more
going on here. The paint theme is a nicely intertwined two-tone.
The light blue metallic loves to radiate in the sunshine as it
shows off the main body. The black loves to highlight details like
the fenders, grille, hood ornament, and crease in the body line.
And we especially like how the two colors unite for the windshield
sunshade. Plus, there are plenty of nice custom details, like the
large dual exhaust tips, upgraded wheels, and LED headlights. Where
you're going to find the most appeal out of the fit and finish
right now is if you already have a purpose for this truck. You may
just want something different to cruise in or maybe you want to put
your business logo on the side and make a rolling billboard. But
the overall idea with this is that it has a beautiful glow to
attract attention but it never gets so uniquely custom that it
takes away from the useful purpose it had on day one.
The interior has the right touches of vintage while also making the
right additions. For example, the seats have the classic metal-back
bucket style but they are now nicely recovered and have a center
console in-between. And while you have the classic GMC steering
wheel, beyond it is a full set of white-faced gauges - including a
handy tach. Newer carpeting, provisions for air conditioning (will
need servicing), stereo speakers, and a retro-style AM/FM digital
tuner with Bluetooth are all part of this cruiser style. Those
large rear doors swing wide to make sure you have easy access to
the fully furnished cargo area. It's so nicely done that it's ready
right now for everything from a concert camp-out to a great way to
showcase your product.
Under the hood is a later 350 cubic-inch V8. The motor inhales
deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with
added power as shorty headers feed the dual exhaust. It makes for a
good base motor, and it likely just needs some weekend tinkering to
dial-in the kind of drive you want from a crate V8. The four-speed
manual transmission is a proper truck setup where the first gear is
a granny gear. That means you could be hauling a load of bricks in
the back and this still has the right torque to get up and move
(see what we mean about how this loves to remain useful?) And this
is meant to be a proper cruiser with rack & pinion steering, front
disc brakes, and an upgraded Mustang II-style tubular A-arm front
end.
This panel delivery is a cool GMC that has plenty of custom style
while never giving up the useful attitude. You may give it a
tune-up, restore the A/C, add new tires, or other investments that
make for an even more attractive worker. But it's all about
delivering distinction and utility from day one. We know you
already have a plan for this GMC, and now's the time to act. Call
