Up for sale is a sharp-looking 1979 GMC pickup truck that has gone through a frame-off restoration. It features a short bed stepside 4x4, an upgraded 7.4 L fuel injection engine, a 205 transfer case, 3-speed manual transmission, and upgraded 3/4 ton axles.
This truck has gone through a fresh, ground-up restoration. We bought this truck in California, and being in a great, 100% rust-free original condition, it was the perfect fit to go under a frame-off restoration.
The restoration process started with the exterior of the truck.The body was first pulled apart to the smallest screw and the entire parts of the body were sandblasted. All the parts were then covered in epoxy primer. After the body work was completed, a high quality paint job was done on every single part, piece by piece. The red paint was then buffed and polished to a deep rich shine.
Next, the chassis was sandblasted and then sprayed with a high quality chassis saver paint. All the nuts and bolts with their original pipes were sent for zinc plating before installation. The 3/4 ton axles were pulled apart, sandblasted, and sprayed with a high quality chassis saver paint. Then they were resealed and installed. Next, a brand new brake system and all brand new suspensions were put on.
In the final step, all the body parts were installed back with extreme attention to detail and professionalism. The truck is being sold as-is.
