I believe it was actually a Jimmy with a custom removable rear roof. Note that the bed and cab are a single unit.

From what I remember of this show (I haven't seen it since I was about four), the truck had no rear on the cab and had a seat in the back, indicating a Jimmy.

Then it is a Jimmy. An S-15 Jimmy, and therefore not a pickup, but an SUV.

The car is often used to get from A to B (the Corvette only has 2 seats) so it should get 3 - to 4 stars.
Also it is part of a toy set (Helicopter, Corvette and this GMC) so it's an important part of the show I think.

Origin of the picture above is ep 2.05 but I think they used it in several episodes ...

Yeah thats a s-15 GMC Jimmy, I caught the rolling credits of an episode on DVD

I think a company called Flint Systems did the conversion on it. Had a Vinyl snap on, bimini type top that could be raised up.

I always thought that was a sweet truck. I don't know if many trucks were done up like this on the West Coast / beach areas.. Was a cool concept.

That truck came into the show Riptide in the 2nd season. Cody Allen (Perry King) drove this truck. The 1st season he had a roughed up old Woody he drove.

I wonder where it is today, along with the Screamin Mi Mi Helicopter.
