1999 GMC Sierra 1500Extended Cab SLE For Sale The 1999
Sierra 1500 was the first year of GM's GMT800 platform, the
ground-up redesign that replaced the long-running GMT400 and
introduced the Gen III small-block V8 family to the truck line.
This one is an SLE-trimmed 2WD extended cab, finished in Summit
White over graphite cloth, and it has been built as a lowered
street truck with a set of modifications aimed squarely at stance
and presentation. It shows 133,000 miles and comes with its
original window sticker.Power comes from the optional Vortec 5300
5.3L V8, a $700 upgrade over the standard engine when the truck was
ordered new, rated at 270 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. It
pairs with the 4-speed automatic with overdrive and a 3.73 rear
axle, a combination that gives the truck useful low-end response
without spinning excessively on the highway. A Borla exhaust system
replaces the factory setup, adding a deeper tone under throttle
while keeping the character of the Vortec's midrange intact.The
build direction is consistent front to back. The suspension has
been lowered so the truck sits low over 18-inch black wheels,
replacing the factory chrome-plated steel wheels, and the grille
and front bumper have been finished in white to contrast against
them. A color-matched hard tonneau cover closes off the Wideside
short box and keeps the profile clean. Four-wheel antilock disc
brakes were standard equipment on the GMT800 from the start, so the
truck stops with hardware that was new for its generation rather
than carryover from the previous body style.Inside, the SLE Decor
package brought power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, air
conditioning, and hi-back reclining bucket seats. The instrument
panel carries full gauges with a tachometer, an engine hour meter,
and the driver message center, and the factory audio system is an
AM/FM stereo with CD player. Deep tinted glass was ordered as an
option, and the extended cab uses the wide third-door opening that
was new to the platform for 1999.For a buyer who wants a first-year
GMT800 with the desirable 5.3L drivetrain and a coherent lowered
street truck build already sorted, this one arrives with its
documentation intact.NFI Empire specializes in classic, exotic,
