Featured on AutoHunter is this 1953 GMC 100 pickup, which has undergone a frame-off restoration and customization process that was completed in 2020. It’s powered by an LS 5.3-liter V8, which is paired with a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in black over a black leather interior, this GMC New Design truck is now offered by the seller with Arkansas registration.
As part of the build, the body was refinished in black. Exterior features include a black front bumper, black trim, halogen headlights with LED halos, tinted windows, running boards, black-stained wood bed slats, a full-width rear brake light, and a black rear roll pan.
Like the rest of this truck, the 20-inch STR wheels are black. They come wrapped in 245/35 Zenna front and 285/30 Nexen rear tires.
There’s more black inside the single cab, which has black leather upholstery on the power adjustable bucket seats and black door panels. Other content includes a tilt column with a Grant steering wheel, power steering, fold-down center armrest, AM/FM/Bluetooth Pioneer touchscreen radio, and Kenwood speakers.
The Dakota Digital instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, 8,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the oil pressure, temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The true mileage on this vehicle is unknown; the title reads this truck is mileage-exempt.
Under the hood is an LS 5.3-liter V8 equipped with a performance air intake and Champion aluminum radiator. The engine is connected to a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission.
This custom GMC truck has been lowered and rides on a Ford Mustang II front suspension and Nissan 350Z independent rear suspension. Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes help keep the shiny black bodywork smooth and crumple-free.
