Jason from New Creations is back with another amazing build! This time, Classic Auto Insurance checks out this fully custom 1997 GMC Sierra. They spent about two years on this Old Body Style GMC Sierra, customizing almost everything about it. It has custom bumpers, custom color, custom four-link, shaved the underside of the hood, custom wheel tubs, so much custom it's hard to list! This Sierra started out red, but the owner wanted something different. So Jason and his team came up with this blue pearl finish with an orange interior so it pops! As with most truck projects, the most difficult part of the build was getting the bed perfect. These were work trucks, and the beds take the most abuse. Jason estimates 200-300 hours of work getting the bed perfect. They also spent a fair amount of time getting the truck stance correct. It's been dropped quite a bit on RideTech coil overs. The truck is as low as you can get it and still have it drive well. New Creations may be a small shop out of Lattimore, NC, but their work is absolutely top-notch. https://bit.ly/3CjLGOH
