- This heavily modified 1990 GMC Sierra C3500 Dually features a 7.4L V8 engine, low mileage (61,300 miles), and is in overall good condition.
- The most striking feature is the extensive Tridon SST body kit with unusual styling elements.
- Despite its unique features and recent maintenance, the truck failed to meet the reserve price at auction and bids only reached $9,100.
34-year-old pickups auctioned off? Yawning. But this isn’t your grandfather’s rusty farm truck. No sir. This is the vehicle equivalent of a mullet: business in the front (well, maybe not business, but definitely a massive 7.4-liter V8 engine), party in the back (hey, it’s a truck bed, use your imagination). run).
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){ adpushup.triggerAd(“4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a”); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(” 6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657″); } });
So, yes, it has a monstrous engine. But that’s just the beginning of his madness. This thing looks like the supercharged Buick Grand National’s brash, sun-bleached cousin that spends weekends tearing up mud bogs and slinging shine.

It might take you a moment to peel back the layers of fiberglass to find out what’s underneath the Darth Vader facade, but it’s none other than a 1990 GMC Sierra C3500 Dually. It features an extended cab and is equipped with a crazy Tridon STT body kit, complete with fender flares and exaggerated styling.

According to documents accompanying the auction, the car had an original MSRP of $20,600. Apparently the buyer was willing to spend more than half of that ($12,820) on the body kit you see here.
The front bumper gets integrated fog lights, while the grille, sun visor, fender flares, side skirts, bed liner and rear spoiler are all new parts. Additionally, it features a custom hood, 16-inch aftermarket wheels, and a custom exhaust system with quad tips. To put it simply, this is one of the most unique period trucks for sale today.

In addition, it has a V8 that was originally rated for 230 hp (171 kW) and 385 lb-ft (521 Nm) of torque. The truck also only has 61,300 miles on the clock and looks well cared for. There are also some improvements in the interior. The velor upholstery is in good condition and an 11-inch Alpine infotainment system sits prominently on the dashboard. The seller states that extensive work has also been carried out recently to prepare the car for sale.

This also includes new ball joints, new brakes, new shock absorbers, wishbones and tie rods. The clutch fan is also new and all fluids have been replaced. Combined with a service record, five keys and the original window sticker and dealer papers, this would seem like a surefire success.
Despite all this, bidders at Cars&Bids, where the car was auctioned this week, were only willing to spend up to $9,100 on the truck. That wasn’t enough for the seller and he couldn’t maintain the minimum reserve. It looks like not even Darth Vader could have raised the bids for this film any higher.
