Vehicle Description
This stunning 1954 GMC COE is a high-end custom build that
seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern performance and
comfort. With only 612 miles shown (TMU), this meticulously crafted
hauler is a true head-turner, offering both show-quality presence
and real-world drivability. Beneath its classic cab-over-engine
silhouette lies a powerful and reliable 5.9L inline-six Cummins
turbo-diesel engine, paired with a smooth three-speed automatic
transmission for effortless cruising.
Built on a later model HD-GMC frame that's been boxed, reinforced,
and modified to accept the 1954 COE body, this truck delivers an
incredible retro-style look with the function and comfort of modern
chassis engineering. The chassis also features four-wheel disc
brakes and a custom four-link rear suspension. To enhance both
aesthetics and ride quality, the truck is equipped with a
three-position air ride system, allowing for adjustable ride
height. The 12-valve Cummins turbo-diesel motor is mid-mounted and
mated to its original factory transmission. The cooling system,
intercooler, and tubing components are all heavy-duty custom
aluminum with electric fans, ensuring optimal performance and
reliability.
Titled as a 1954, the five-window cab has been stretched to
accommodate four passengers in plush leather comfort. Inside, the
custom dash, power windows-including the expansive side windows-HD
air conditioning, and tilt wheel create a luxurious and functional
interior that rivals modern dual-cab trucks. The wood-rimmed
Banjo-style Grant steering wheel adds an elegant and nostalgic feel
to the cabin, while power steering ensures easy maneuverability
despite its commanding size.
Dressed in striking red paint with a contrasting beige roof, this
GMC COE exudes a bold yet timeless appeal. The beautifully
integrated pickup box ensures functionality while maintaining the
truck's seamless design. A hinged external sun visor adds to its
period-correct styling, while the high-end build quality ensures
this truck remains a standout at any event or collection. The
custom metal-ribbed bed floor features two side power lifters for
access to components-a super trick feature that showcases the
meticulous engineering of this build. A hidden trailer hitch is
mounted behind the license plate, allowing for towing capability
without compromising the truck's clean aesthetic.
Riding on brand new 20-inch Detroit eight-lug wheels wrapped in
wide low-profile tires, this COE defines "fat and low" like never
before. With its 50-gallon aluminum fuel tank, this truck is ready
to go anywhere and everywhere, effortlessly pulling a trailer while
drawing a crowd with its commanding presence. This is one Big, Bad,
Bold Boy that will turn heads wherever it goes-a high-level
functional work of art that fits in with any crowd. The cost to
replicate the body, components, and build quality is off the
charts, making this a truly one-of-a-kind machine.
Measuring 18 feet in length and standing just 6 feet 2 inches tall
when dropped, this impressive build can even fit in a standard
garage door. This 1954 GMC COE is a beautifully executed,
high-quality build that presents exceptionally well with only minor
flaws. It is a rare blend of classic aesthetics and modern
engineering, making it a perfect addition to any collection or an
outstanding weekend cruiser. A true testament to craftsmanship,
this custom COE is ready to impress its next owner with its
unparalleled presence and performance.
