A ground-up custom build brought classic second-generation 'Action Line' pickup style and contemporary supercharged LT-series V-8 performance together in this 1968 GMC Pickup. Bespoke Gray Khaki paint is a fitting finish to the Wide-Side hauler and its handsome styling that the GMC division shared with its Chevrolet C10 corporate cousins. GMC moved their logo to the center of the grille on '68 models and LED lights tucked into the front bumper augment four cross beams. This build also includes reproduction twin wipers, dual mirrors, side markers, and tail light lenses which add factory style to the smooth sheet metal.
Interior appointments are a step up from the Super-Custom package with a blend of period-correct mods and original equipment. Embossed door panels with woodgrain accents and a quilt stitch bench seat join a wood-rimmed sport steering wheel on an Ididit tilt column and a floor shifter with brushed aluminum shift knob for comfort and control. Intellitronix gauges in a reproduction instrument panel augment capability in late-'60s style. Power windows, a Bluetooth stereo with amplifier and subwoofer deliver, and Vintage Air climate control deliver convenience and 4-season entertainment.
An LT4 twin-screw supercharger and a direct fuel-injected L83 V-8 engine combine forces under the domed hood. The potent pairing teams up with a 6L80E six-speed automatic transmission that dispatches blown LT-series power to the pavement. The engine is bolted up between the frame rails of a new, full powder-coated Roadster Shop chassis equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, double a-arm independent front suspension and a 4-link rear. Baer brakes with Hydroboost lurk behind American Racing wheels with spinners fitted with BF Goodrich G-Force tires for maximum grip.
