1995 GM Sierra Pickup
Exterior
This trucks sleek two tone look comes from careful blending of
Forest Green Metallic paint using color-matched grille surround and
chromed front bumper, black chin spoiler with some pull hooks
inserted. Black shiny painted mirrors and handles, and polished
star shaped 16-inch wheels set the pickups aggressive stance. 1995
was the last year you could get an extended cab this big without at
least one hinged door, and with all the 4-door trucks on the road
today, its nice to see a throwback to the way that things used to
be. The laser straight bodywork and clean paint, means it has
always been someones special truck. Out back, the bed is lined
with black tough rubber bed liner that really looks great against
the green sides and white interior of the cap. Theres enough real
estate back there to drag away half of Home Depot with you on the
weekends. Other neat touches include the big red GMC emblem in the
front grille, clear plastic for the headlights/taillights, and
slightly tinted windows that give the truck a celebrity disposition
that works great.
Interior
The C/K pickups were all fairly plain and straightforward in these
years, so the owner of this 95 kept the factory broadcloth
interior in tan and kept it in immaculatecondition. Flanking a
matching center console, the seats have been covered in tan tweed
pattern broadcloth, a pattern thats mirrored on the door panels
and give the cab the upscale feel of a luxury car and the look of a
sports car - and its all still in great condition. The big stock
steering wheel remains and immediately reminds you that this is a
modern truck, as do the original gauges just beyond it. The truck
is outfitted with options like cold A/C, power windows and locks,
cruise control, a tilt steering column, and the entertainment
system is an AM/FM/Cassette stereo head unit. In the back, room for
at least 3 more which will be seated on a wide bench stretching
from door to door. Breathe it in, right up to the second upper roof
console with some lighting, fancy storage flip downs, and garage
door opener bins.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in a very clean corrosion and rust free engine bay,
sits the original, 350ci V8. It is putting out a proposed 200hp and
is fed by EFI. A 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission on back. The
front and rear pumpkins have 3.42 gears. Stock exhaust and nearly
showroom appearance, make for an always impressive with this
condition.
Undercarriage
The underside is equally as impressive with some factory forest
green overspray, plenty of black rust proofing, and nary even a
sign of any road dirt or for that matter rust. Independent torsion
bars are upfront, and in back are leaf springs making up the
suspension. Power disc brakes are upfront, and in back are power
drums. Like new rubber is all around.
Drive-Ability
An excellent driver, fully functional, fully impressive even can go
fully loaded with conveniences options and cargo if you must. Bias
free panic stopping, solid shifting, and smooth acceleration are
just a few of the highlights of this buttoned up 95 example.
