I worked at GM engineering during that period... all of the S/T platform was part of my responsibility. There was also talks about badging it as a SAAB. But that didn't come out until 2005 on the 360 platform.Yes. The Bravada is an Oldsmobile but still based off the S series platform. Slightly different interior and different nose on them but the rest was the same as the GMC Jimmy / Chevy Blazer.
EDIT: there was another difference in the one I built, It was AWD and not 4WD making the transfer cases an issue at higher mileage due to being chain driven. The chain would stretch and when you let off the throttle it would slap around in the case and make the vehicle jerk as it was slowing down. This one got a reman'd transfer case installed.
