Keep looking Brian...
Well my curiosity got the best of me because the oldest GMC Sierra I could remember was in the early 70's. According to Wiki, the Sierra was not introduced until 1971. I already read a slight mistake in the Wiki description though, it also states the GMC K5 Jimmy came out in 1969. That is not true, as the Jimmy was released the year after the Chevy Blazer, in 1970. I have a '70 Jimmy so I did the research a long time ago.

I also couldn't see anywhere in the pics of the truck in question any hint of it labled a "Sierra". Here's the Wiki link.

I do think that it could be difficult to resto a truck up to that standard for under 25 grand or so but it looks a little "too perfect".

Later---DAC
