1969 GMC Sierra Short Bed Custom

Description for GMC Other 1969

Behold this amazing one of a kind GMC Sierra pro touring truck. Fabricated by Vintage Fabrication this build was guided by the current owner as a tribute to his father. Featured in Street Trucks in June of 2016 this truck was treated to an unlimited build budget and an equally flawless design and the result is stunning. Almost every panel has been modified or tweaked for a cleaner and more flowing design. Notice the elimination of the drip rails and the flush glass window treatment? How about the custom billet side trim and the smoothed and filled bumpers? LMC cowl induction hood and grille flow seamlessly down to the lowered front end and smoothed out front bumper.
The two tone green paint is flawlessly executed by Carrender Collision and the bed is made from real walnut and complimented with stainless steel rails and billet gas door. Maybe you noticed that the truck's bed has been raised by 6 inches to give it that unique look. The mini tubs protruding through the bed are a very eye-catching aspect of the design of this incredible truck.
The interior of this beauty is also transformed in exquisite detail with no stone left unturned. What grabs your attention first, the rich brown leather flush mounted Tea's Design seats or the raised dash or the custom billet dash cover from Carriage Works finished with a wood grain look? The custom center console even has a sliding door to conceal the ignition. Of course a current build would not be complete without paddle shifters mounted on a Nardi steering wheel and push button start. The Pioneer luxury stereo and integrated bluetooth is always available if you want to crank some tunes while you cruising the highway.
an Edelbrock crate engine cranking out 435 hp connected to a 4L80 transmission this baby has all of the grunt you will ever need. With a 9 inch Ford rear end and 3.55 gears out back you can cruise at freeway speeds in comfort for miles. Don't worry about putting down all of that power as the chassis is a Fast Track Elite from The Roadster Shop and can handle anything you can throw at it including auto-cross. In a bit of car sourcery the team at Vintage Fabrication sandwiched the powerplant between a sourced pair of Sierra truck fenders that have been turned inside out as fender wells. It is pure eye candy under the hood, notice all of the wiring has been concealed under the sheet metal.
