One thing Mexico either got, or still has....was a NEW BODY STYLE 2dr Tahoe.....yup.....from the factory. Not a custom....I saw it in Truckin' right when GM changed the SUV's to the NBS. Back in 2000? I still have the issue somewhere. They killed it in the US but for some reason kept the 2dr's into the NBS era for a bit. What I wouldn't do to have one of those......

Yup, your right - this is the only pic I've ever found and believe me, I've searched... :bawl:

If I had the money, I'd hack the rear doors out of a new tahoe and make one...!

I wonder what happened to that handful. Even if they were only limited, if they were out in the public...maybe theres a few floating around still. I WANT I WANT!!!!

its kinda funny, but they made the 2dr dodge ramcharger on the 94+ dodge body. they stopped production here in 93. something about not passing our safety laws... they have some cool vehicles down there.

there is a tahoe in my town with the new chevy front, i thought before it was a custom one, but maybe not after seeing these. Either way it stands out from the other tahoes.

MEXICAN 400SS where does 400 come from? Some people think "400" because it has 400 C.I. engine or because it has a Turbo-400 transmission, but not really , Although it was inspired by its “gringa” sister, the 454SS, that one , took the name of its engine. In the 400SS Mexican pickup the name it is taken from what the platform of the 88-98 (usa) 92-98 (Mexican) Pickups was called. The platform was the GMT 400. The 400 SS was an aesthetic package only (decals , painted grill , color matched bumpers ) things changed compared to the regular truck on the outside as a bumper to the body color, grill on the 92-93 models in black, then to the body color matched on the 94-98 models. Moldings with details in red, what makes it special? Well, it was the only one Chevrolet pickup in Mexico that had a stepside bed option, also this 400SS version only was for sale in Mexico , this trucks are 100% manufactured in Mexico (VIN number starts with 3) and it was only made in 4 colors, red, white, black and moss green (92-98) emerald green (99-05) It was discontinued in 2005, when GM discontinued Stepside beds , its main feature. The GMT 400 platform appears in México in 1992 , the first two years of the 400SS (92,93) the truck had fleetside bed only , then from 1994 to 1998 most of this trucks had stepside bed , and from 1999 till the end ( 2005) all this trucks had stepside bed
