Vehicle Description
History
In 1990, Chevrolet introduced a high-performance variant of the
GMT400 under the Super Sport emblem called the 454SS. It was
available only as a 2WD half-ton regular cab short box in Onyx
Black only with a garnet red interior.
The 454SS was powered by a 454 cu in V8 producing 230 hp and 385
lb�ft. A 3-speed automatic transmission (Turbo Hydra-Matic 400) and
3.73 rear axle ratio added to the truck's performance. The axle
itself is unique, being a 14-bolt semi-floating unit which uses
standard Chevrolet 5 on 5-inch wheels, the only factory-produced
14-bolt axle with such a wheel bolt pattern. The suspension was
also upgraded with 32 mm Bilstein gas-filled shock absorbers, a 32
mm (1.3 in) front stabilizer bar, and 12.7:1 fast-ratio steering
gear assembly.
Unique exterior features included a front air dam with fog lights,
special rims, decals displaying "454SS" on the bed sides, red trim
emblems, and black painted grille, bumpers, and mirrors. The
interior was also unique with a special plush Garnet Red cloth with
black trim, high-back reclining sport bucket seats, and center
console.
