10 Wild Facts About Owen's "RV from HELL" '88 Silverado Truck - Tango & Cash

[@monstertrucker35]

The green truck used during the statement “since 1930” is actually a Ford Model A.

[@CarStarz42]

Lol, you're very right! That's what happens when you've been up for two days straight working on stuff. Anyways, Chevy trucks do date back to the early 30's also, which was the point I was trying to make.

[@monstertrucker35]

It’s all good! I figured that’s what you were going for. To be honest, it’s only the second “error” I’ve found in all the videos I’ve watched of yours, so I think you are doing a fantastic job!

[@georgesykes394]

@MrOiram46 Over 10 year's ago I read an article in Car & Driver or Road & Track. It was a Chevy Suburban made for motorcade duty that was armored. The roof slid back and and elevated a gunner that had a M134 mini gun on a stand. If you look on the internet you could find the story.

[@Imagination_Station2224]

I always felt Tango & Cash was criminally underrated and that truck had always been one of my favorite movie trucks! Wore out the VHS I had playing the truck scene over and over and over. Thank you for covering this movie!

[@demented_cycles]

Correction: The 88 to 91 1-ton trucks also had independent suspension on the four-wheel-drive. The crew, cab, suburban, and K5 blazer all kept the square body style until 91. Those were the only ones that kept a solid front axle.

[@CarStarz42]

Read a few articles mentioning the 1-tons keep the solid axle front end, but guess they could have been wrong. I haven't ever inspected one myself, but ok.

"Good Cop/Bad Cop." I remember seeing this movie. I did not remember, until you gave it's year, that I was 19 years old when I saw this movie. I remember Stallone and Russell using the term "Good Cop/Bad Cop." Then, in the years that followed, I noticed everybody starting to say it. Now I am 54 years old, and I feel like my Grandfather, as I seem to be the only person left on earth that knows where this phrase was first coined.

I believe that I have a correction on the 4 wheel steering. It was on the Denali trim in 1999. It had a weird bed side on only the 4 wheel steering. That looked like a flare side but on a standard bed that was wider than non Denali trim.

Well, that would still be more than a decade later than the '87 concept Blazer then, so not off by much 😉

I somewhat remember toy cars from way back in 90s (my neighbor kids had them) being made that resemble this movie car, made by MC Toys or something like that from Korea. It had the same wheel base and bottom as their line of Toyota Hilux toy cars. I also remember some weird Mad Max looking toy cars from the same era by the same company. However years later I came to know about plenty of Mad Max inspired movies and one of which is Death Race movies and come to think of it these toys might as well be based on those movies rather then Mad Max or Tango and Cash. But they can be good bases for modifications to represent cars for the latter. Don't know if this helps anything but who ever is interested happy hunting. All I know is that these are super rare by now since I don't know many people who bought them. They either were hard to get here in Europe or expensive idk. Maybe there is more luck in Korea or Asian in general markets where they were originally produced.
