A first-class showstopper that celebrates the all-American class of vintage pickups, this immaculate 100 capitalizes on GM's timeless design and GMC's innate exclusivity. And, whether you're a diehard GMC fan, an old school truck lover or just a curious buyer who's looking for something a bit different, it's a cool classic that 'fires on all cylinders'!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Naturally, this pristine 100's appeal begins on the outside where all-steel lines are coated in a fantastic layer of Huron Green 2-stage. That paint, detailed with tan pinstriping, presents well from any angle, remaining a true testament to rock-solid bodywork that was conducted during the truck's no-holds-barred restoration. And everything adds up to one crisp and clean classic that's been finished to 100% show worthy standards!
ENGINE
Peer in to the truck's super clean engine bay and you'll find a 248 cubic inch Stovebolt 6-cylinder that's been completely rebuilt and fully detailed. Introduced for use in large platforms, and regarded as one of the all-time great General Motors powerplants, this stalwart mill is a favorite among vintage GM truck buyers because of its simple design, adequate power and excellent durability. At the top of the block, a small Zenith carburetor mixes wind, supplied by a dressed air cleaner, with fuel that's piped through fresh stainless fluid lines. That carb rides on a cast, factory-spec intake, which floats above a cast, factory-spec exhaust manifold. Opposite that manifold, a traditional points distributor sequences fire between 7mm Hi Temp Radio Suppression Cables and a tagged Delco-Remy generator. A beefy radiator provides cooling with the help of a stock pulley fan. And items like a Delco-Remy starter, a color-keyed, à8¿GMCà8¿ branded valve cover and a full assortment of decals ensure the bright orange powerplant is very impressive to look at.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Power meets the pavement through a traditional 3-speed, which is tied to a 10-bolt, highway-friendly rear end. Correct leaf springs and big drum brakes occupy all four corners of the chassis, mixing rugged road prowess with firm and solid stops. And everything rolls on painted and pinstriped wheels, which turn 6.50-16 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewalls around stainless trim rings and à8¿GMCà8¿ branded hubcaps.
INTERIOR
Slide inside this GMC's fully restored interior and step back in to the simplistic and purposeful culture of the early 1950s. A wide and supportive bench combines with dark side panels to highlight a brand of nostalgic utilitarianism that's no longer found in showroom-fresh offerings. Beneath that seat, a heavy duty floor mat disappears behind a factory heater and small fire extinguisher. And everything, from the truck's clean telemetry to its mirrored door handles, is restored, sorted and ready to roll.
Whether it's simple nostalgia, or their long list of extremely useful design virtues, one thing is certain: trucks NEVER go out of style. And when they're built this well, they seem to never fade away. If you're in the market for something that's classy and unique, call, click or visit [ Ссылка ] for the chance to claim this impressive GMC!
