The GMC truck wasn't always called the Sierra. Introduced for the 1960 model year, the C/K series serviced both the Chevy and GMC brands across basically four generations. Chevrolet phased it out in 2002 while GMC did it in 1987.
So why is this still called a Sierra Grande? Well, because both GMC and Chevy borrowed the new names from the previous top trim level of each respective model in the 1970s. By that account, in 2050, we'll have the GMC Denali or something like that.
It's pretty rare to find trucks of that era in decent condition and they usually bring big bucks at auction. The accord seems to be that old C/K trucks look best with two-tone paint.
Everybody knows that if you want maximum visual impact, the best thing to do is to define convention, and that's what this rendering by Hugo Silva does. Every nice, manly guy who's good with his hands in an action movie had a normal 70s truck. This takes the Sierra Grande into the realm of villains, smugglers or generally people who don't follow the rules.
The Sierra for bad boys is super-slammed to the ground. We figure it's either got a heavily modified body or is just the GMC face on a passenger-based truck.
As crazy as the front view may be, the rest of the body doesn't fall short. It's pretty rare to see trucks with no mirrors and flush handles, even in the digital world. And the bed is shaved down, cleaned up and polished to purple perfection.
A truck like this would have left the factory with the 350 small-block V8 and would have had AWD since it's the top trim level. But to get it this low, it would need a custom chassis, kind of like the ones we saw on the Navigator and all the trucks from Phat Phabz.
