1999 GMC Sierra 1500

1999 GMC Sierra 1500Extended Cab SLE For Sale The 1999 Sierra 1500 was the first year of GM's GMT800 platform, the ground-up redesign that replaced the long-running GMT400 and introduced the Gen III small-block V8 family to the truck line. This one is an SLE-trimmed 2WD extended cab, finished in Summit White over graphite leather, and it has been built as a lowered street truck with a set of modifications aimed squarely at stance and presentation. It shows 133,000 miles and comes with its original window sticker. Power comes from the optional Vortec 5300 5.3L V8, a $700 upgrade over the standard engine when the truck was ordered new, rated at 270 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with the 4-speed automatic with overdrive and a 3.73 rear axle, a combination that gives the truck useful low-end response without spinning excessively on the highway. A Borla exhaust system replaces the factory setup, adding a deeper tone under throttle while keeping the character of the Vortec's midrange intact. The build direction is consistent front to back. The suspension has been lowered so the truck sits low over 18-inch black wheels, replacing the factory chrome-plated steel wheels, and the grille and front bumper have been finished in white to contrast against them. A color-matched hard tonneau cover closes off the Wideside short box and keeps the profile clean. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes were standard equipment on the GMT800 from the start, so the truck stops with hardware that was new for its generation rather than carryover from the previous body style. Inside, the SLE Decor package brought power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, and hi-back reclining bucket seats. The instrument panel carries full gauges with a tachometer, an engine hour meter, and the driver message center, and the factory audio system is an AM/FM stereo with CD player. Deep tinted glass was ordered as an option, and the extended cab uses the wide third-door opening that was new to the platform for 1999. For a buyer who wants a first-year GMT800 with the desirable 5.3L drivetrain and a coherent lowered street truck build already sorted, this one arrives with its documentation intact.
