In GTA San Andreas the Slamvan resembles a heavily customized [[:wp:Chevrolet C/K#1967-1972|1967-1972 GMC C/K]], in fact, it appears to be based on [http://www.truckinweb.com/brandpages/chevy/0102tr_1968_gmc/index.html Jim Bayne's customized 1968 GMC truck]. The truck may also appear with a custom chain steering wheel.

The truck may also appear with a custom chain steering wheel. Like other lowriders in the game, certain traffic-spawned Slamvan's may come readily equipped with hydraulics. Slamvans equipped with hydraulics can be used to enter the [[Lowrider Challenge]] at [[Unity Station]], [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]].


Naturally, the Slamvan only has room for two people, but handles well and can reach extremely high speeds - especially with [[nitrous]] equipped; it also raises the player's sex appeal to over 60%. Being a lowrider, it can only be modified in [[Loco Low Co.]] in [[Willowfield]], [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], but can be used to enter the [[Lowrider Challenge]] at [[Unity Station]], Los Santos if it has hydraulics installed. Like other lowriders in the game, certain traffic-spawned Slamvan's may also come readily equipped with hydraulics.
The Slamvan road-going merit lies in its raw power; the truck has good acceleration and can reach very high top speeds along a straightway - especially with [[nitrous]] equipped, and is easy to stop and corner due to its lighter weight. However, its long wheelbase makes it slightly harder to corner at high speeds as the truck is vulnerable to spinouts. Naturally, the Slamvan, being a two-seater, only has room for two people; it also raises the player's sex appeal to over 60%.
 
Unlike most lowriders, the Slamvan is more common in affluent areas, being more commonly found in western [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], western [[San Fierro]], and the casino districts of [[Las Venturas]].
