That blue and silver one is one of the cleanest OBS's ever. The two tone looks wicked and the chrome sets it off nicely.

Yea! And what so cool about it is, NO rollpan, NO cowl hood, ALL the factory side moldings, pin stripes(!), & just Cal-vue mirrors for outer body changes. Just shows that de-molding & de-badging is not always the way to go!

That's one sweet truck indeed, I'm not a fan of the front lights and the color matched Bowtie.
Aside from that- some bucket seats, smoothed interior plastics and it'd mos-def be a GMT400 I can't quit staring at.

Sierra GT

GMC Seirra GT/Chevrolet Sport - Powered by the 5.7-liter V8 (1996 and newer trucks get the new Vortec engines) mated to a 5-speed manual tranmission or 4-speed automatic. Options include 15x8-inch chrome 5-spoke 454SS-type wheels with 275/60R15 BFGoodrich Comp T/As, Bilstien shocks, sway bars, and a 454SS-type air dam with fog lights. The body of these trucks receive a mono-chromatic paint treatment. The GMC Sierra gets "GT" decals. These trucks are availble in both the fleetside and Sportside body styles.

The Sierra GT was a budget version of these.

Chevrolet 454 SS - Short bed, standard cab, two-wheel drive Chevrolet C-1500 pickup with modified suspension, drivetrain, and a killer 7.4 liter (454 cu. In.) big block V-8 with 255hp at 4000 prm and 405 pound-feet of torque at 2400 rom. The power is routed through an automatic overdrive 4-speed transmission to BFGoodrich Tomp T/A, P275/60HR-15, on special 454 SS wheels. The interior comes equipped with a speical plush Garnet Red cloth interior and high-back reclining sport bucket seats. Other items include front airdam with lights, SS graphics, black paint with black grille, bumpers, and mirrors. These trucks were only produced from 1990 to 1993… and cost around $20,000. Check out the 454 SS Web Page

And then...there's these. Check the HP compared to the 454SS!

GMC Syclone - Based on the S-10 pickup, this awesome all-wheel-drive truck boasts a turbocharged, intercooled 4.3L V-6 rated at 280hp and 350 lb. feet of torque. These trucks, capable of producing sub 5-second 0-60 mph times, were produced in limited numbers, only 2998 trucks in 1991. The $25,000 sticker price seemed a little high for a small pickup, but there was nothing else like it. Visit Sport Machines and the Syclone/Typhoon mailing list site for more information.

GMC Typhoon - With the same powerplant and all-wheel-drive as the Syclone, this truck was based on the 2-door "Jimmy" S-15/Blazer. Only 2500 of these trucks were made for 1992, and 2200 more were produced in 1993. This SUV from hell was priced at $30,000. See Sport Machines and the Syclone/Typhoon mailing list site for more information.

Thats some good info, and funny that the 4.3 produced more HP than the 7.4!

There's some highly modded Ty/Sy's running sub 10's. Not hard to get 'em to 12's! On the street, with the all wheel drive, the launch is incredible! And the all wheel drive system is the same as what was used on the Astro vans. The S-trucks are just so damn small inside.
