GMC's Syclone was a "bad boy" truck that stood proud in the '90s muscle car world.
GMC brought out a factory hot rod in 1991 with its Syclone, but with only 2,995 built that model year, you may have not known about it, let alone seen one.
First things first: the spelling of the Syclone's name. Since the model name "Cyclone" was already registered to Mercury, GMC changed the "C" to a "S" to get around using the name registered to another marque.
The Syclone was GMC's "bad boy" truck with major-league muscle. It began with a 4.3-liter EFI Vortec V-6 in GMC's compact S-15 pickup that it had rechristened the Sonoma for 1991. In building the Syclone, GMC had help from Production Automotive Services (PAS), Inc. an outside engineering firm in Troy, Mich., that had also helped General Motors' Pontiac division build the 1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am.
