1953 GMC Pickup

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this slick 1953 GMC 100, finished in a deep black exterior that gives this classic pickup a bold, no nonsense presence. Inside, the matching black interior keeps things clean and timeless, surrounding you with vintage style while still feeling comfortable and driver focused.

Turn the key and, according to the seller, this GMC is powered by a 350 CID V8 crate motor that fires up with a deep, throaty rumble, made even better thanks to headers and a custom exhaust that give this truck a strong, unmistakable sound. Originally, trucks like this came with inline six engines built for reliability, not performance, so this V8 swap completely wakes it up. Backed by a rebuilt 700R4 automatic transmission, you get smooth, confident shifts that make this classic just as happy cruising the highway as it is rolling through town.

Heres something cool, 1953 falls right in the early post war era of GMC trucks, a time when these were built to be tough, dependable workhorses for farms and job sites across America. Today, that same rugged design and simple, honest styling is exactly what makes them so desirable.

Behind the wheel, this truck feels far more modern than its age suggests. Power steering makes it easy to handle, power brakes bring it down with confidence, and the AVS air ride suspension completely transforms the ride, giving you a smooth, dialed in feel that you just would not expect from a 50s pickup.

Out back, the EM rear end paired with a 3.55 gear ratio delivers a great mix of drivability and performance, keeping things responsive without sacrificing comfort. And tying it all together, the smoothie wheels wrapped in white wall tires give this GMC that unmistakable classic look that never goes out of style.

Whether you are pulling into a car show, cruising on the weekend, or just looking for something with real character, this 1953 GMC 100 delivers. It has the looks, the sound, and the upgrades to back it up, making it a true drivers classic with serious presence.
