1953 GMC 100 5 Window

Description

This 1953 GMC 100 5-Window pickup has all the right looks for a cool vintage truck. And while you take extra time appreciating all the classic curves and details, you'll also spot a few well-placed upgrades to make it a better cruiser.

The dark green paint is a great color to represent this era. It's a single-stage finish, so it has a classic tone to go with its good gloss. But you'll like best how the light rolls off those curvy fenders with nostalgia. The iconic brightwork elements like the distinctive GMC grille, chrome bumpers, and trim also love to shine. It's impressively vintage, right down to details, like the color-matched steel wheels with two-piece trim, durable black steel running boards, real wood in the truck bed, and a full-size spare mounted to the side of the bed. But if you look closely, there are a few hints that this one likes to show off a bit more. It's in subtle ways, like the blue-dot tail lights.

The interior continues this ready-to-work time capsule feel. The side panels, door handles, headliner, and durable rubber flooring have a period-correct feel. The only upgrade you may spot is handy seatbelts to go with the classic bench seat. And there are impressive details, like the working horn and AM radio. Even the classic heater still works, so there's a bit of nostalgia as it warms you up like the first light of a March morning, and you're on your way out to the farm fields. And speaking of light, the five-window cab lets in plenty of it, so you can see all the details inside this classic GMC.

You'll see this pickup's year-correct 228 cubic-inch motor when you lift the hood. This orange block looks great in the engine bay, especially next to the oil bath air cleaner. It fires up readily, and there's so much room in the engine bay that we bet you'll love tinkering with it on the weekends. This one gives you the classic truck feel, right down to the four-speed manual transmission with the ultra-low granny gear for the real pickup experience. And because this one wants to be a better all-around cruiser, you have upgrades like a 12-volt electrical system, an alternator, and modern touring tires. None of it's too noticeable to the casual observer, but it makes for a noticeably better driver out on the road.

You're looking at the ideal vintage setup for those who want to be authentic and get the best. Such a nice all-around classic pickup is a package we're all looking for, so don't miss out. Call now!
