What Was It?!?

[Carder09]

There was a truck that GMC made in the late 80's I believe that was only a step side, only 150 were made if I can recall and they had big motors in them, I found an add for one a few years back and did research on it and turns out they are very rare obviously and I was tryin to remember what it was called, not sure but the paint scheme was black and yellow for the one I seen. does anyone have a clue of what the truck is called?

454SS -- I bought the engine out of a wrecked one and put it in my 1978 Trans Am..

Chev or GMC? Could be the Gentleman Jim or the Beau James, I don't remember what years they were made but they were sold one or two years, so I would guess more than 150 were made.

454SS was made special order as a Step Side, that might be the one you are thinking of:

I remember a black and yellow GM truck from the late 80's...But it was a long wide bed...Black Gold, or something like that. Had a drilling rig on the rear quarters... Might have been a local thing though.

I've been deep into trying to research this truck, but it was GMC and it was pretty rare I couldn't remember if it was 150 or 1500 but I know it was very limited production with a 454ss, and im unsure if it was only flareside or not

The 454SS was never available as a special order stepside. There are stories of dealer modifications but there were no 'original' 454SS stepsides.

No factory stepside 454SS trucks were built.
