Fastest production pickup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mridude · 04-12-2011, 01:52 PM

I am interested in building a muscle pickup. I'd like to start with the fastest production model Chevy or GMC between 2000 and 2006. Any suggestions?

no moa · 04-12-2011, 02:59 PM

Buy a early 2000 2wd pick up, and cram a Duramax and allison combo in it. Power and torque, it should scream!!!

Or buy that v10 viper truck dodge made, hold crap that was fast.

northerngmc · 04-12-2011, 03:34 PM

Buy an 06 2500HD, regular cab, long box, 2WD with a Duramax.

Spend $2000 on EFI live, air intake, exhaust, and some transmission updates and go and have fun!

northerngmc · 04-12-2011, 04:04 PM

Here you go....

11 Second 2001 for $15975

White regular cab with no rust, 196K miles, Less than 5k on head studs, head gaskets and stage IV trans. A3K turbo and 200 shot NOS. All set up for drag racing and has everything to put it back on the street. $15975 and it has ran 11.61 in the quarter mile.

989-550-1288

I would chose the body style/era of truck you like the most aesthetically and build up from there.

Personally, regular cab short beds are associated with the sporty image. That's why I chose to build one.

usmcchevy · 04-12-2011, 08:24 PM

99-07 classic regular cab short bed 5.3/auto 4wd.

Add supercharger or turbo(front mount best, but sts will work), 3K stall converter, Transgo HD2 shift kit with billet servos, big trans cooler, good posi in back good tune. Then have fun with plenty of room for upgrades

Mykk · 04-13-2011, 09:12 AM

I have a dream of building a '67 fleetside shortbox with a big cube small block and a T56 manual. To me that is the ultimate muscle sport truck.

I liked the 03 & 04 front ends when they came out and I liked the smoothed hood & grills of the 05-07's even more. I feel the 03-07 GM's have some styling cues from the 67-70's GM trucks. Specifically in the grill area.

The 08+ GM trucks are extremely nice, I have a 2004 'Hot Rod' and a 2009 'Work Truck' The 09 is the perfect road trip machine, and with a mild computer tune I'm getting a average of 23mpg with the 5.3L/4L60E

the fastest factory silverado from these years is the reg cab 5.3 stepside with 3.73 gears. it just barely edges out the ss

is the stepside bed the reason for the gain? less weight?

66redw/white · 04-23-2011, 11:38 AM

yes the step side bed wieghs less than the fleet side. its some kinda crazy plastic or something.

66redw/white · 05-04-2011, 09:56 AM

you get a 6.0 lq9 and awd. corse that can burn up the 4l60e pretty easy. althought you get to do stuff like this when its still workin

so i weighed my sierra the other day. had half a tank of gas in it still but other than that it was empty. weighed 4300lbs. thats why they move so good.

gofastbobby · 07-01-2011, 04:49 AM

2001 ford lightning.

FLDBRED · 07-12-2011, 08:13 AM

I know this doesn't fall into your year range,but the 6.2 403 hp Ext Cab is the fastest they make now.If you order it with the Max Trailering Package you get the 3.73 g80 gears.It will run 14's off the show room floor!

Sillyoldman · 07-12-2011, 09:08 PM

I would also have to say that the SVT was the fastest from the factory w/o mods.

66redw/white · 07-12-2011, 09:59 PM

wait a second.... isnt this a CHEVY trucks forum? lol.

I agree.

Sillyoldman,

1990SSchevy65 · 07-13-2011, 01:44 AM

Doesn't anyone remember the

Syclone and Typhoon Trucks from 1991-93? s15 mini truck and blazer with a v6 awd and a turbo straight from the factory.

usmcchevy · 07-13-2011, 09:46 AM

Syclone and Typhoon are definatly fast and cool.

After about 2 minutes with google, I didnt try very hard

Fastest American production truck title belongs to the Dodge SRT10. Fastest in current production goes to the Chevy/GMC with the 6.2.

66redw/white · 07-13-2011, 06:54 PM

im actually atempting to make my own version of the typhoon. same basic principals but i dont really like the body kit. and i really do like the 6.0.....

1990SSchevy65 · 07-16-2011, 10:43 AM

To the OP, I don't want to jack your thread. 66red/white, if you are making a typhoon clone you should check out www.syty.net there are several guys out there making clones or doing LSX swaps.
