They were 'go fast' versions of the F150 and C/K1500 (Silverado), slow by todays standards but the first of their kind

I love that era American ute, they look like they were designed with a 15cm ruler and a crayon on a napkin, big, square and basic, plastic as far as the eye can see and an engine bay you could fit four families of Ethiopians in.

351 Wheezer or 454 depending on your brand of choice.

Povvo pack Ranger, 4x2, tub or tray back, 2.3L Ecoboost 4 cylinder, some bigger wheels with HT tyres or Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV as the factory fitment.

Circa 230KW/450NM thing would haul ***.

A place I worked at 20 years ago imported a 454 SS, the motor had been worked over and the guys had a good time flogging it around, I pretty much only idled it in and out of the factory. The other one I remember was a square body Silverado that had a wild 283 and 4spd in it, thing hammered.
