I think according to Guinness the Holden SS Ute (Maloo R8) is their pick for fastest pickup truck. The SRT-10 had it for a little while but Holden got it. I really don't consider the Holden a true pickup it's more El Comino to me.

I don't know. All I can find is articles talking about Gunniess awarding the SRT-10 the Fastest Pickup Truck but not the actual Guinness article.

I looked in my local library today. They had the 3004 and 2006 edition but neither edition mentioned a fastest truck at all. I think there must be another edition or something. I couldn't even find the Maloo or the Lightning.

Useless tidbits recording the SRT-10 and the Guiness Book of World Records . . . don't know if any of it is actually what you're looking for, but the library should have every version where you could look it up
