The old side view mirrors were shaved
off and new peep mirrors were
added but not all the old profile was
removed. To keep some of the door 's
vintage feel, they didn't retrofit a one
piece glass, so you can still crack a
wing on those hot summer cruises.
A new cowl induction hood was fit up
on the old beast and it was beefed up,
so that it wouldn't shake and rattle
when the 402 barked to life. Under
the hood, lots of vintage touches
still smile up at you to remind you
what they looked like in 1969. A big
old coolant reservoir and heater mo-
tor are still there, but many of the
old spot welds have been filled and
cleaned up, to make this the deluxe
GMC line.
To keep more of the old feel, they also
kept the original gauge configuration
but tucked in some new electronics to
get it up to date. The whole truck has
been upgraded, not updated and slid-
ing into feels like you just got into one
of the prettiest time machines ever
built.
"It might just be the
pre est me machine
ever built."
