Very uncommon in the US, probably exceedingly rare in Denmark. They only made 2,995 of them.

Never seen one here in Canada, imagine it is really rare in Denmark.

Definitely qualifies as rare. I've never seen one, though I have seen a Typhoon, which was the Blazer S10 version of this truck.

Was it a Marlboro with the T-Tops?! or just someone repainted the original black?

The one in your picture looks like a Typhoon the SUV version.

my late uncle has one in storage currently. Lots of miles and some body rust (connecticut daily driver) ((he was a major car enthusiast - had some 21 cars in his life ranging from muscle cars to a handful of various corvettes))

I'm debating on talking my aunt into letting me buy it as they're planning on selling it but it'll be a lot of work.

Exactly... I also corrected it in the bottom, I thought they were the same, oh well, I guess its still rare in Denmark.

Quite rare here. I bet you can count the number of those in Denmark on one hand.

I remember when they first came out, a buddy's brother had a practically new 5.0 IROC Camaro that he thought was fast (it wasn't). He got a lesson in how fast it really wasn't when some little black truck dusted him by quite a few hundred feet racing through the S-curves in Grand Rapids. I knew the story was true when he said "It said something like Cyclone on the side and pulled away from me like it had nitrous". Indeed.

Have to agree with you on that

It's rare enough that if you drove it across Øresundsbroen, the Försvarsmakten would surrender immediately.

You people are always up to something...

I'm minorly obsessed with them too. especially the sneaky Typhoon you found.

FALSE it was a GMC S15 Jimmy version of it.

(sorry I had to be that guy, I love these things)

Right on! I have a Blazer, so I just refer to all of them (in the family) as Blazers.

This was my post on the "first car" question today.

http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/1988-s10-blaze…

you can't see more than just the front fender, but it was replaced my an 04 Blazer which I drove the hell out of and moved onto something with decent MPG now lol.

I miss my first truck sooo bad though.

How did the engine respond to the overbore and other mods? I love my '99 2-dr 4wd. A little more grunt would be good for it, but bad for the clutch I'm guessing.

it did great.

Trans on the other hand....Trans needed a full rebuild after me beating on it for about 3 years or so. But it was the original trans with MORE power through it and it was up at 137k miles at that point. New engine only had 13k or so if I remember correctly.

You have to remember there's a huge technology jump from 88 to 99 though. I think you may have Vortec heads which are a different head type altogether, and you may have a slightly different fuel injection system. Mine was the old school TBI (Throttle Body Injection) which looked like a crazy roid-raged 2 jet carb that you could watch the fuel spray in from (was awesome).

If you REALLY want more power, it's probably cheaper to go the route of a 350 crate motor, they built kits for motor mounts and exhaust headers so it can directly replace the 4.3L.

Thanks for the details. I would obviously like to do all sorts of stuff to it, but alas, its my winter and rainy day beater. And it just starts and runs no matter what. So I digress, stock til it dies. If the engine pops, I will consider the 350.

That would be a wise choice, it's a much more complicated truck in that year.

If it were still the 88 like I had, swap the shit out of it. Drastically less wiring lol

Successfully having one in Denmark makes somebody have some awesome points, even in Typhoon form.
