1959 GMC Step-side Pick Up

1959 GMC STEPSIDE PICKUP

We bought this truck back in December of 2015 as part of a package deal (FIVE incredible Impalas 65, 63, 62, 61, 61, plus this beast of a truck).

We had to fix her fuel line, refinish wood floor in bed, installed the bench seat, installed headliner, added new battery- other than that, what a find!

We have used her as a display in our in-house car shows for- tech Seamlesssolutions.com, and wine events cdwines.us

The truck is a one-of-a-kind, makes us smile when we fire her! It will be the same for you as well!

2+ years restoration

1600 miles since completed

Near Show Quality or close. Flip a coin, probably as good as it gets!

Here you go, If you had $80,000 plus to spend, and over two years of your time, you maybe could come up with a truck like this. Provided, you had the knowledge of which builders to use and how you would envisioned the output...

Let's break this down to outside, inside and front-end, suspension and undercarriage. How this truck, still sporting California Black Plates, ever got away from the West Coast is beyond belief to me!
