Vehicle Description
This 1988 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE is a very vintage V8 pickup. And when
it's both loaded and valuable, it makes for the right mix of both a
cool classic and a handy asset... all for an affordable price.
This was the first year for the new style Sierra. It set a new tone
in pickups where there could be sleeker without losing any of that
professional grade attitude. That's why we like finding one that
looks so authentic. The chrome bumper, front air dam, and bright
tailgate insert are all part of the premium SLE trim. It's a
long-term family-owned truck (father and son), so it has been given
some stylish and useful upgrades over the years. This includes
American Racing polished wheels, bed rails, and a large rear step
bumper. And the paint is the right way to bridge the gap between
vintage and modern with a later respray of an era-correct metallic
blue. It has a nice radiance in the sunshine while being mature
enough never to make this pickup too fancy.
The sea of blue continues inside. It has the right feeling of a
vintage pickup with just the added comforts. That means you get a
bench seat but with good contouring for comfort. And while the gun
rack and column shifter are old-school, features like the tilt
steering column and cruise control are part of useful comfort. You
may use the value price to update the upholstery, add a modern
stereo, or restore the air conditioning, but we also just like this
for having a proper classic truck atmosphere.
Under the hood is GM's hardy 5.7-liter small block, and it comes
from when the factory installed fuel injection from day one. While
it's unknown if the odometer reflects the full actual mileage, this
fires up and drives with the confidence of a well-respected family
truck. You also have easy driving features like power steering,
brakes, and front discs. This also has a four-speed automatic
transmission with highway-friendly overdrive to enjoy on trips near
or far.
Complete with the owner's manual. This GMC is vintage, useful,
distinct, and affordable. So don't miss this, Sierra. Call now!
