1983 GMC Sierra Classic from North America - Comments

Nothing at all has gone wrong with the truck.

Best truck I've ever had, never had a problem, never let me down besides a dead battery.

I agree. I have a 1981 Sierra Classic and it is the best truck I have ever driven. It is solid as a rock and very reliable. The ride is pretty smooth and the steering is comparable to a sportscar. I love my truck!

I have a 89 GMC, I think its the best truck I ever owned, still has the original paint and it looks great. I have never had a problem with it other then regular maintenance.

I have an 85 Sierra Classic, and I have rebuilt the whole body and interior. This truck is amazing... it is a beautiful make and my favorite out of all the trucks. My only complaint is that the gas tanks are in bad positions and there is a bit of interior noise (wind).

I have a 1987 Sierra and these trucks are great! They are very tough and reliable, and can carry anything you can put in them.

I have a 1983 and I would have to agree, except for the bad paint job someone did on it. I'm amazed that for as old as it is it's rust free. It's just too bad the one I have only has the in-line 6 cylinder, it could really use an 8-cylinder.

Fun Powerful truck, make sure not to get the converted diesel to gasoline. I've had to replace the engine twice, replace radiator, steering pump, steering box, and more. Repairs are cheap, but they are numerous and cause much downtime. If you consider this truck be ready for a few repairs.

It's a powerful truck that demands respect from other vehicles.I've supercharged the engine and now it's a real muscle truck. However it still contains its original look.I've had many offers from interested buyers, but I wouldn't give up this truck for anything in the world.

I own a 1983 Sierra Classic, for the past three years it has never given me a day of trouble. With a fresh small block and a great paint and body job it is the envy of all in my small home town.

I have a 1983 Sierra 1 Ton 454 automatic. This truck has never given me any trouble. I think these old trucks have excellent reliability and when extra power and torque is needed, this truck delivers. This truck has a very decent body for its age. I hope I never have to let it go.

I have a 1987 sierra pickup although I had to replace the engine and bed I wouldn't give it up for the world I simply loved the way it performed when it was running one of the best trucks to take off road ever.

I own a 6.2L 1983 Sierra Classic. It's got over 250K miles and still runs strong with the original engine. It occasionally gives me a bit of trouble, but has never broken down (save for dead batteries here and there) which is quite a feat considering the amount I work it: hauling, towing, etc.

I own a 1983 GMC Sierra with the 5.0 V8. It has well over 140,000 miles and is the best truck I've ever had.

My neighbor has a 1983 GMC Sierra with a 5.0 V-8, it has well over 140,000 miles and is the best truck hes ever owned.

I'm interested in buying a 1983 GMC sierra sometime soon when I finally get my license I live in Canada (Ontario). Does any one know where I could pick up one in good shape?

I have an 83 Sierra with a 305 in it lwb, 1/2ton it is the best riding truck I have ever owned. It has a rebuilt motor and tranny, it will pull or haul anything I put in it. It has positrac, and really goes where ever I need it to!! They just don't make em like that anymore!!!
