Despite the namesake, the Slamvan is a different vehicle and no longer resembles a heavily customized pick-up as it did in GTA San Andreas. It now resembles a 1950s panel van, similar to a 1953–1956 Ford F-Series van. The van's appearance also bears striking similarities to the one used by the gang the Rogues in the 1970s cult film [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warriors_(film) The Warriors]. Rockstar made a beat 'em up action game in 2005 based on the same movie, simply titled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warriors_(video_game) The Warriors]. It's likely this is where the inspiration for the appearance was drawn from.

A similar van used by the Rogues gang in the 1979 film The Warriors.

The Slamvan is a vehicle available to the player in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and is also featured in the downloadable episodic pack The Lost and Damned for Grand Theft Auto IV.

GTA San Andreas Rendition

In GTA San Andreas the Slamvan resembles a heavily customized 1968-1972 GMC C/K truck and, naturally, only has room for two people. It handles well and can reach extremely high speeds - especially with Nitrous equipped. It raises the player's sex appeal to over 60%. Sometimes it will have a custom chain steering wheel. Also, since it is a lowrider, the player can use it to enter the Lowrider Challenge at Unity Station, Los Santos. It can only be modified in Loco Low Co. in Willowfield, Los Santos.

Lost and Damned Rendition

Despite the namesake, the Slamvan is a different vehicle and no longer resembles a heavily customized pick-up as it did in GTA San Andreas. It now resembles a 1950s panel van, similar to a 1953–1956 Ford F-Series van.
