Sport Equipment Package (RPO code =BYP) [73][edit]
In 1989, a Sport Equipment Package was available on either C/K1500 fleetside short-bed single cab models with the YE9 silverado interior trim package. The Sport Equipment Package featured a black grille with a red outlined bow-tie emblem, black moldings outlined in red, body color front and rear bumpers, black mirrors and "SPORT" identification decals on the box and on the tailgate. The box and tailgate decals were flanked by Chevy bow ties.
-2WD only models also received a black air dam with integrated fog lamps and chrome 15X7 wheels with specialized chromed plastic center caps.
-4WD only models also received black wheel flares, black tow hooks, 16–inch cast-aluminum wheels and additional 4x4 sport decals.
The BYP package was only available on trucks painted in solid red, white and black in 1989. It has been reported that the 89 sport was a limited production run set to determine how well the package would be received by consumers in the years to follow. There were no suspension or engine upgrades provided with any of the sport packages as this was an appearance only option. Suspension or any other upgrades or options are only determined by additional RPO codes. It has been rumored that only 5,400 BYP packaged trucks may have been produced in 1989.
In 1990, the Sport was re-introduced and carried on until 1994 along with the 454SS. GMC models could now be optioned with the Sport appearance package with their own unique decals and color combinations. The exterior mirrors became solid, low-profile aerodynamic manual units color matched to the body color. A ZQ8 Sport suspension package was now an available option for 2WD models which included Bilstein Shocks, 12:7:1 ratio steering and required 275/60R15 tires. In 1992 Blazer/Jimmy models could now be optioned with the BYP package. The Sport Equipment Package is the most frequently faked looks for the Chevrolet trucks but RPO decoding will reveal if it is a true "sport" or not.
