Designed for towing, this two-wheel-drive crew cab rides on the 168.5-in. wheelbase with an 8-ft. box. It is set up to pull large loads while providing maximum comfort to its driver and passengers. The GMC is powered by the 290-hp, 7.4-liter SFI Vortec “big-block” gas-powered V-8 rated at 410 foot-pounds of torque; it is paired to a heavy-duty automatic transmission with overdrive and features dual rear wheels, engine oil cooler, heavy-duty springs and shocks, a 100-amp alternator, and a 34-gallon fuel tank. The 9,000-lb. GVW rating adds to the truck’s towing capabilities.

The Sierra is equipped with power steering and brakes, air conditioning, tinted glass, six-way power driver’s seat with lumbar and recliner, center storage console, full instrumentation, including tachometer, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, intermittent windshield wipers, AM/FM stereo radio with CD and cassette, and power windows and door locks. Finished in Onyx Black over a grey leather interior, the SLT trim level is top of the line for 1999 reflected in the equipment on this vehicle. Currently, the odometer reads only 65,500 miles and the truck includes a clean CARFAX with no reported issues.

The 24-foot fully enclosed fifth-wheel trailer was custom-designed by Triple B Manufacturing Company, Inc., of Mascoutah, Illinois, and built for Hunter Engineering, its previous owner. Triple B was founded in 1954 and has been making custom trailers ever since. It features a slant nose for better over-the-road aerodynamics; is 102-in. long overall, 84 in. between fenders, and has a 78-in. interior height.

Rated at 12,000 lbs. GVW, it is equipped with four-wheel electric brakes, is constructed with floor bracing 16-in. on center, and the steel tubular frame is diagonally braced. Stainless steel door handles and hinges are used along with an aluminum diamond plate floor, an E-track tie down system, floor vents, and an electric winch.
