GM's 4th Generation pickup was built on the GMT400 platform and available with multiple versions of the ubiquitous small-block V8. From 1990-94, GM offered a cult legend, the 454 SS. Whether you needed to haul a trailer, get off the grid, or rip down the 1320, GM had a C/K1500 for you.

Having all the horsepower is obviously the most fun and important in a fast car, however, you need to put it to the ground safely and consistently. Having strong axles and a good differential can help you in that department! Keep your car planted and going straight.
