1998 GMC Sierra Extended Cab Sportside SWB – 5.7L V8 | Loaded w/ Factory Options

Up for sale is a 1998 GMC Sierra Extended Cab Sportside (Stepside) — a hard-to-find configuration with the legendary 5.7L V8 (350) and a long list of factory-installed upgrades that set it apart from a base model.

This truck wasn’t stripped — it was optioned out from the factory, and you can see it in the details.

📝 Why This Truck Stands Out:

Most trucks from this era are base models — this one is loaded with the right factory options:
✔ Bucket seats & console (rare vs bench)
✔ Power everything
✔ Tow package & HD cooling
✔ Locking rear end
✔ Sportside bed (harder to find)

It’s the perfect mix of classic style, usable power, and real options that matter.
