Vehicle Description
Stk. 2221 1968 GMC Pickp
A '60s short-bed GM pick-up with its solid undercarriage, roomy cab
and plenty of space under the hood is a natural candidate for a
street rod. This 1968 GMC � ton was fully restored and modified in
2016. Virtually every nut and bolt is new. The builder chose Cherry
Red for the exterior, maintained the massive chrome front
grille/bumper and deleted the rear bumper assembly entirely. The
result is a great looking 'shorty' with a bed that utilizes custom
oak planks for flooring. That said, this modified pick-up is all
about the performance delivered from a strong, professionally built
drivetrain. Power comes from a rebuilt 2004 GM 6.0L that has
experienced significant upgrades. It now breathes through an
Edelbrock Victor Jr. single-plane cast aluminum intake with 800cfm
Holley. Fire comes from an MSD ignition. A Lunati Voodoo hydraulic
roller cam (.651/.651) works new rollers and springs in GM243
aluminum heads and exhaust gases exit through tube headers into a
free-flow system. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator,
clutch fan and serpentine belt set-up. The powerplant is backed by
a new Cooks 400 automatic w/3200 stall converter that drives a
12-bolt differential (3.73:1) with Moser axles. The fully detailed
chassis has been upgraded with new front ball joints/bushings,
power steering and power disc/drum brakes (new dual master,
calipers, rotors and brake lines). Twenty-inch 'Foose' alloy wheels
mount Nexen HP radials. The retro-classic cab is enhanced with a
nicely reupholstered rolled and pleated black vinyl seat. Dashboard
and door panels have matching vinyl accents and the custom
instrument panel houses a full set of Marshall Performance gauges.
A street-rod shifter, leather-wrapped wheel, Sony AM/FM/CD sound
system and new carpeting complete the interior package. This custom
pick-up is a real head-turner and a blast to drive. It belongs in
your garage. For more information, call 800-650-1055 or visit our
