Customised GMC 1953 Pick-Up

This is a GMC New Design series 5-window pick-up. GMC's pick-ups at the time were generally cosmetically modified Chevrolets, and the New Design was based on their Advance-Design.

 

First available in 1947 these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until 1955, when Chevrolet produced its new Task Force Series and GMC produced its parallel Pontiac-powered Blue Chip trucks. During the 1947-55 period, Chevrolet trucks were No. 1 in sales in the United States, along with the rebranded versions sold at GMC outlets.

 

This customised version was seen at the 2015 Wings and Wheels Show at the Shuttleworth Collection's Old Warden aerodrome.
