You're the only Ten-I-see: h0twh3els' GMC Syclone

Builds
1

4/20 for me it wasn’t about bong hits – it was about hitting the open road in Syclone #411 all the way from Nashville, Tennessee. Chris a.k.a. h0twh3els purchased this truck from a respected SyTy enthusiast out in Tennessee. We had plans to fly out together and take turns driving on the way back, a “bro trip” if you will. Things changed this past Monday, when Chris was involved in a pretty serious accident. He asked me if I would be able to go get the truck myself, without hesitation - I agreed to do so.

Here we are now – 17hrs/1000 miles later! Excuse the dust, it rained on the way back and it’s been raining on/off since.

Bad ass!! Love it fellas!!

I’ve briefly looked into this truck.

Fact that they were only produced for one year is quite neat and less than 3000 made. Doubt more than half survive after 20 years.

Very cool pickup.

awsome!!! i sen one at the lot a few years back. there really cool trucks… fastest production for a long time

5

Definitely an awesome truck. Original owner did a best of 11.6 1/4 mile with janky ass 91 oct. I’m sure when we’re done with it, it’ll be dippin’ a little lower :slight_smile:

awesome truck. would love a typhoon one day

16

It seems like SY/TY community is diehard enough that there are still quite a few of them out there with the very low production number. Would love to own one myself one day.

17

As assumed per our phone convos, I can already tell that this thing is a wiring disaster from one underhood pic, lol
