This 1988 GMC Sierra 3500 4x4 is a rugged and capable workhorse with a classic two-tone tan and brown paint job, complete with a color-matched camper for those adventurous weekends. With the long bed, larger trailer towing mirrors, and robust 4x4 setup, it's got that timeless pickup truck presence, especially with those polished Alcoa wheels and chunky Falcon Wildpeak tires. This is a first-year GMT400 GMC, making it a bit of a rarity, and one with the independent front suspension for a smoother ride than you'd expect from a classic. It's clearly been used over the years, but those signs of wear add an honest charm to the truck's overall character.
Opening the door, you'll find the interior's a mix of old and new, all continuing the classic tan and brown color scheme. The bench seats are covered in a mix of vinyl and cloth, likely reupholstered for a refreshed look. Underneath, the original carpet has plenty of life lived, but that's perfect for a work truck like this. The dash features some modern upgrades " an aftermarket Kenwood AM/FM CD player to crank some tunes, a screen for that Fast Track fuel injection system, and a push-button floor shifter for a vintage touch. There's even a large subwoofer tucked behind the driver's seat for some extra bass. And don't forget those creature comforts " this truck still has air conditioning and power steering!
This Sierra still packs its original 454 big block heart, but this one's been given a serious wake-up call. You've got Edelbrock aluminum heads, an upgraded intake, and a modern Fast Track EFI system feeding that big block. Add in an MSD Ignition setup for reliable spark, a smooth-shifting 4L80E automatic transmission, and that stout Dana 70 rear axle to handle the power. The long-tube headers and Flowmaster exhaust let that big block sing, while the Be Cool aluminum radiator and electric fans keep things cool. To stop all that extra go, you've got power front disc brakes as well. This is a great mix of classic big-block power with modern reliability and performance upgrades.
