Up for sale is our beloved Sportmachines “Shop Truck.” It is a 1993 GMC Typhoon #1090; the mileage on the odometer reads about 70,000 miles at the moment, which is how many miles are on the motor. Mileage on the chassis is estimated around 120,000. This truck has been daily driven, while being updated in every way, for 2 years and over 25,000 miles. Through snow storms and beautiful sunny days this truck has never let us down or left us stranded, all while being a great driver and road trip vehicle alike. The truck has been extensively modified in the time we have had it, but remains more reliable and enjoyable than a stock truck.
