@@exotichandyman yeah I agree I wouldn't go over 8k for it and that's only because of what it is. I mean you got wiring, engine, brakes, then paint job and that's gonna be at the minimum 10k you're gonna dump into it.
At least with Haggerty the videos are available outside of the us without a vpn. mtod killed every series they had, outside of the us when they moved away from youtube.
The Syclone and Typhoon will always have a very special place in my heart because Mt father owned a Syclone and I owned a Typhoon and the amount of time we spent together working, hot rodding, and drag racing these vehicles was some of the most fantastic and perfect memories of my time with my father. Thank you very much for sharing, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😃 😊
The funny thing is that the concept was originally from Buick and they had put a GNX engine in an S-10 and pitched the idea to Chevrolet since Buick didn't have a truck model of their own and the brass at Chevrolet passed because they already had the 454 SS. The GMC brass felt that the GN engine was too expensive to use so they opted to use off the shelf stuff.
This is going to be way more cool than restoring a syclone! Loved watching you on HRG put together fun builds like this, and I’m super glad to see you’re keeping it up.
I am so glad you guys are back to doing your own thing. Watching y'all go through the process of evaluating an overpriced nightmare project amidst a bunch of goats was a ton of fun. Thank you for doing what you do!
That's actually a sweet buy. 22 years ago I bought my 1982 S10 2wd longbox already 350 swapped for $1,800 as my first truck. It has been a super fun and reliable truck all these years, and it feels like a real sport truck. I'm stoked for this build, great idea!
Hard to walk away from a dream, but that thing was a nightmare. I hate to see such rare classic cars treated like junkyard dogs, but sadly it's a reality. Good job passing.
A guy i went to school with had one of these and it was insane.. scared the shit out of me when i road in it the first time.. been chasing that feeling ever since!!😂😂
Glad to see you boys doing it on your own channel again! Now make this thing grow!! Really dig the s10. I have one with a Buick gn turbo motor in it. Fun little trucks.
Stay Tuned twice in 1 week. Spoiling us! Ordered my Street Freak shirt. Pizza and a Beer time. Thanks everyone who works on this channel and those cars.
You guys are quickly becoming my favorite channel! That dang firebird is beyond ridiculous and I can’t wait to see what’s to come.vYou’ve got a talent for finding cool projects, even on HRG. I wish you could’ve finished that javelin and grand trashional!
The really awesome thing about those pick-ups is they're solid. Steel frame and steel body. Plus you can fit a v8 if wanted. I would definitely suggest a fuel cell in the bed with a snap down cover. It will make it easier to lower it and tub the wheels. Good find Tony. 🎉
Hell Yeah Tony! I love me a Syclone and I've been looking for one to work on for a long time as well. I'm really excited to see the new project and I'm really glad to see that the channel is doing really well too! Keep it up bro!
I owned both the 91 syclone and the 92 typhoon. I managed over $3000 in speeding tickets my first two years of driving and 6 suspensions. I also managed to rip all the wheels off the syclone in one accident and bend the frame a couple times on the typhoon. Best time of my life. Surprise I survived. Lots of money spent.
I did the same thing years ago. Got my S10 from a salvage yard in Ebensburg PA for$250. Running and driving. Glad to see someone else appreciates these little square bodies. Anxious to see your build.
Those trucks used the Astro all wheel drive mini van drivetrain, 4.3 V6 water cooled Mitsubishi turbo. Trucks we're living limited to 700 lb cargo and passenger. The GMC Jimmy 2dr version upped it to 900 lb passengers and cargo. Suspension was lowered 3" from the factory. The best gas mileage I got was 10mpg in the Cyclone and Typhoon respectively summer of winter. The Typhoon had fantastic traction in the rain even with wide tires. ABS brake system was also great in the wet. I never liked cheapy plastic ground effects from the factory so I had mine painted body colors. Black on the Typhoon and white on the cyclone.
YEEEESS! You totally rock man. Great to see you back on your own channel. You’ve got an excellent team around you and awesome ideas. There’s only one thing you need to change…… absolutely nothing 😎. Just keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll be here.
Now this is a build that is going to be awesome. I have thought about a build like this. This is going to be better than just fixing a beat up cyclone. This is something we can do at home on a budget. Bring on the build!
T Types are baaaad (In a good way) Im still taking a picture if I see one, GN or not considering it's basically one in more colors. Car people know what they're looking at
If that S10 has a T-5 it's the same bolt pattern as an LS4. You'll have to mod it for a starter but, that's a great platform to build on. Get the body lift and mud tires off there, get a body kit and some rims. Have yourselves a mean street truck. 706/862 heads will make more power on a 5.3 than the 243 heads, swap a TBSS intake, go with a mean cam with a tight LSA, headers for n/a or just right to a sloppy stage 2 cam and ebay turbo/s. You'll be able to waste a Syclone for half what that project truck cost.
Can't wait to follow this build, kinda wish you were building a kickass 4.3 V6 but with better/faster updated tech. It's always been my dream to do that and go hurt some feelings fishing, (Farmtruck and AZN style) then lifting the hood afterwards to see the reaction on they're faces when they realise they got butt hurt by a v6!
Thank you Tony once again your post give me hope, while I keep fighting pancreatic cancer, you help me stay focused on wanting to build my 86 Firebird! Can't wait for your content!
I was under the impression Motor Trend got 0-60 in 4.9s out of the Sy, the '89 Turbo TA did 0-60 in 4.7s, the GNX ran 0-60 in 4.9s and the GMC Typhoon ran 0-60 in 5.3s. It'd be cool if you fellas swapped either a 4200 Atlas I6 (Nivlac57 style) or an Aluminum block LS (5.3/5.7/6.0/6.2) with a big nasty turbo in that thing. I don't have a lot of love for the 4.3L V6, you might as well go with a stronger platform with more potential for the cost. Excellent choice for the channel, much love. Keep up the good work fellas.
Yeah 7 grand 17 years ago ...try to find one ..shit 13 grand is a bargain 👌 New trucks now North of 45 thousand 😢 and trucks used to be cheap and affordable transportation
It would have been a 13k truck if it had at least run properly. The motor is what these things were all about, and it sounded way too rough to be trusted. I couldn't tell if that was bottom end noise on startup or the torque converter banging around.
@@nottawaygarage3683 13 grand was a deal. It sounded like a syclone to me and I rode in them when they where new. It only had a little fire damage 🔥. Not sure why the guy would say mice did the munching on wires. It just needed a pickup coil a 24 dollar part
I’m the 90’s I lived in Berkeley Heights, NJ and a neighbor had one with the plate 1QUick6. In late 1999 I moved to southern NJ and saw a Syclone at a gas station and chatted him up. Turns out it was his brother! They both had them!!
I would sell a certain left body part for one of these. My dad and I tried to make a sy"Clone" (lol get it??? Clone????) Out of a square body S10. Love these trucks and S10s in general, thank you for putting this bad boy in the spotlight!!
This! Is why I watch your channel Tony! I am a guy with a family and a normal job. Many of the vehicles I find interesting are too much for me. Way to flip the game!
Toddler nodded off to sleep (again) so now it's beer and videos. What a belter to start with, too. That Syclone was an utter dog and walking was certainly the right move at 15k. Love the fresh plan, too. Can't wait for it to develop
@@StayTunedTA yeah man. Especially on something that is so rare but cars are the ultimate demo of the law of diminishing returns. Also, I'm one of those guys who bats around in cheap shite, so paying 15k for what is pretty much a non runner and I'd guess would pretty much need the same again dumping into it made me wince.
My dad had one of these it was the 60th one built. The last 4 of the vin was 0060. Wish he still had it. But he sold it. These truck's are still insane in 2023. Was my favorite thing to drive.
I have a mostly stock 1994 S10 Blazer, 2 door, 4x4, 4.3l, 5 speed manual. I love it. It sounds faster than it is, but it is a lot of fun. It always starts, it stops well, it gets me around in the Winter in Wyoming. I did put 3" exhaust and a Magna Flow muffler. I have gone thru it and mechanically it is solid. It has some rust, but it is staying where it was in 2004. I keep it treated.
Always thought that one of the bangingest' trucks ever would be an 88-98 full size chevy/gmc 4wd short cab, short bed with a madman twin turbo big block. Lowered down to 2wd height-easy to do-make sure it's got the push button transfer case. It would be God level, I swear. Lock it in at the stop light, then load up the hairdryers...party time! Cheap too.
I always liked the looks of these trucks. My neighbor that use to live across the street from me when i was kid had the expanded cab one with those flip down seats. He had that for as long as I can remember. If I am not mistaken he might have trade his original one for a different year but he kept it in really good shape essentially for a truck that spent most of its life up in Canada
While the Cyclone/Typhoon's are my favorite, I love the route you went! The average American can afford to do that, so that makes it much more relatable. I was drooling a bit over the first truck, but you will be able to beat the snot outta the one you got, without feeling bad.
It's a bummer that truck was so rough but I think you made the right choice. Some collector needs to buy that thing and rebuild it to its former glory. Yours will be way more badass and it won't ruin a rare classic.
I think this will be a lot more fun for you to work on and us to watch than having to figure out how to restore the truck you didn't buy. Looking forward to more vids!
Worked at a GMC dealer when they hit the lot Got to drive an inventory truck after prepping it Freakin blast to drive ! Rarer still is the GT It had the bodywork and interior but no turbo or awd Almost as kool
Can’t wait to see the sike clone!! I just recently bought a 2door 4x4 GMC jimmy and am going to build it very similar and was going to call it the trailer park typhoon!😝👍
super excited for this build.... 5.3 turbo vs 4.3 , awd.... put C4 salad cutters on or ZR1's or 2000 ZO6's with narrowed Rear end. 4L80E vs 7004. maybe c4 or 5 seats, put a s-10 92 grill. Holley 12.3 dash...
I remember reading up that about 2002 ford awd explorers had the same transfer case. Had one and beat on it, front differential went out before transfer case gave any issues. And it still allowed rwd only when front driveline was disconnected. Unlike the Denali style transfer case, it's awd or no go lol
I have drove 5 hours one way (dragging a trailer and pocket full of cash) and when I started examining the car it had bondo inches deep on quarter panels! Owner swore he bought the car from a museum! I said thanks but no thanks and drove home!
i'm not a chevy-head but love the cyclone. always thought chevy should have stuck this engine in the camaro and made a track-focused car; the buick turbo v6 t/a was so cool and lighter than the v8. very cool project.
What the hell, you guys?! I don't watch this channel for common sense decisions!!😁 However, the project S-10 looks like it could be irresponsible, though. Thanks, gentlemen! This is gonna be way better than the corporate gig. Good to have y'all back!! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Yes Tony, I am from the UK and these have been my favorite vehicle for at least 15 years. I have been close to buying a typhoon but could not justify it. Now I expect I will never own one. Still, I love these things since riding in one. Giant killer!
Saw one for sale at a cars and coffee for 25k but it was 100% original, one owner truck and very clean. I seriously considered buying it. I would have passed on that one too because to get it right it would cost you 20k in parts and paint.

I’ve never seen a seen a TH-camr walk away from a sale. Respect. Then the twist of buying a base truck and turning into a Syclone is genius!
Luckily I had Barb there to be the voice of reason!
In the end you'd own fully restored Cyclone.
He was right. That was way too much for that truck.
Yeah but it's no a syclone.

I wanted a typhoon so bad when I was in highschool. I still randomly look for solid blazers. I really dig that body style
@Carlos same here I absolutely love that body style
Your a blessed person , that was my dream to have hotrods and build , drive with my dad😂😂
@BrotherSkrill Rc yes it was so special, it was the only time that my father dropped his guard and just let the kid come out. Some amazing memories
I can't believe you found that for $1200. I would be THRILLED to find one like that for $2500. Great find!
Really? Ivve bought 5 of them in the last 6 years all with zero rust and never paid more than $1000. Also drove all but 1 off them home.
camera man sees puppy and instantly focuses on it give this man a raise
Haha. One day I'll put a puppy and a pizza out and really give him a dilemma.

At this point create a clone you'll have WAY less in it and have the same truck.

I am SUPER excited to get working on this truck. Same potential, less money, zero guilt!
It’s definitely a good base for a cool project

Real cool you guys showed how to walk away. I don’t think I have ever seen a “car show” go look at a rig and not buy it. It’s hard to walk away.
When I was shopping for my first car me and my dad walked away from at Least 5. Felt like 100 for me.
I love this truck already. Love the channel, brother. I've followed you for years. Glad to see you out doing things like this.
So good to see someone make a genuine decision instead “TH-cam will cover it decision”
Looking forward to the build

So glad to see you back on your own channel. I don't know what happened but I know they lost.
The Olds Bravada had the AWD case you need, that's what HRM used in the 90s for the Quadraduce project car, a '32 Ford with an LT-1, T-56, AWD.
My brother was a general manager at a GM dealer and let me take one home for the weekend. All I can say is “what a ride”!😎
So glad your back on your own cchan. I wasn't into Hagerty's style.
We are happy to be doing our thing over here in the open.
I'm a big fan of the 80's weird solutions. I own a 86 Buick TType in Black. Everyone confuses it for a GN. Keep up the fun content.
T Types are baaaad (In a good way)
Im still taking a picture if I see one, GN or not considering it's basically one in more colors.
Car people know what they're looking at
@Groovy Baby mines black so it is easy for most people to get them wrong. The turbo Buick community is a different place.
If that S10 has a T-5 it's the same bolt pattern as an LS4. You'll have to mod it for a starter but, that's a great platform to build on. Get the body lift and mud tires off there, get a body kit and some rims.

You'll be able to waste a Syclone for half what that project truck cost.
The idea of a fast ass little truck just sounds fun as hell
Can't wait to follow this build, kinda wish you were building a kickass 4.3 V6 but with better/faster updated tech.
It's always been my dream to do that and go hurt some feelings fishing, (Farmtruck and AZN style) then lifting the hood afterwards to see the reaction on they're faces when they realise they got butt hurt by a v6!

Don't forget about the Typhoon. That was the S10 Blazer that they released right after the Syclone . It had the same engine setup.
Worked at a GMC dealer when they hit the lot
Got to drive an inventory truck after prepping it
Freakin blast to drive !
Rarer still is the GT
It had the bodywork and interior but no turbo or awd
Almost as kool
That truck was rank! it was never takin care off at all. Smart passin that one up!
I had a Typhoon. Loved that truck. It would have been nice to watch you bring this one back to life
Glad you found an S10!! There is a 90/91 Typhoon near me but he won't even consider selling it
As soon as I start something I roll down a window so I can't be locked out.
Glad to see you back posting more.
Greatest looking MODERN production truck ever made
I forgot about these things. Nice find and great video. Glad to see you staying independent.
Can’t wait to see the sike clone!! I just recently bought a 2door 4x4 GMC jimmy and am going to build it very similar and was going to call it the trailer park typhoon!😝👍
All the other youtubers out there buying super cars and shit but this is soo much better!
This is rad! I am so glad you got the truck to build out!!! get on it!!!!
super excited for this build.... 5.3 turbo vs 4.3 , awd.... put C4 salad cutters on or ZR1's or 2000 ZO6's with narrowed Rear end. 4L80E vs 7004. maybe c4 or 5 seats, put a s-10 92 grill. Holley 12.3 dash...
I remember reading up that about 2002 ford awd explorers had the same transfer case. Had one and beat on it, front differential went out before transfer case gave any issues. And it still allowed rwd only when front driveline was disconnected. Unlike the Denali style transfer case, it's awd or no go lol
You tease! Here I was thinking we were going to not only share Pontiac DNA but Syclone too!
I think you were smart to walk away from that seller, regardless of the truck being broken and overpriced. Good call.
I have drove 5 hours one way (dragging a trailer and pocket full of cash) and when I started examining the car it had bondo inches deep on quarter panels! Owner swore he bought the car from a museum! I said thanks but no thanks and drove home!
i'm not a chevy-head but love the cyclone. always thought chevy should have stuck this engine in the camaro and made a track-focused car; the buick turbo v6 t/a was so cool and lighter than the v8. very cool project.
This doesn't use the Buick turbo 3.8. It uses a 4.3 turbo. Completely different engine.
@@downlowsyndrome3163 i know. i said the t/a used the buick turbo in their special edition model but i could have been more clear.
I passed on that truck to my friend...im from MD...just subscribed to watch this build
so pumped on this, and its great you're back on your own channel. its gonna blow up for sure!!
What the hell, you guys?! I don't watch this channel for common sense decisions!!😁 However, the project S-10 looks like it could be irresponsible, though. Thanks, gentlemen! This is gonna be way better than the corporate gig. Good to have y'all back!! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Glad to see you passed on that & are doing the Sike Clone build. Much better content.
Yes Tony, I am from the UK and these have been my favorite vehicle for at least 15 years. I have been close to buying a typhoon but could not justify it. Now I expect I will never own one. Still, I love these things since riding in one. Giant killer!
So much YES! DIY sikeclone! Can’t wait for more updates on this thing! Gonna be awesome !
Saw one for sale at a cars and coffee for 25k but it was 100% original, one owner truck and very clean. I seriously considered buying it.
I would have passed on that one too because to get it right it would cost you 20k in parts and paint.
