That work truck looks terrible with the spot the grill painted black. Why couldn't they just paint it body collor?

Because an unpainted black grille is obviously cheaper to make than a painted grille for the W/T...for the last 15 years or so the base W/Ts have had black grilles and bumpers.

Long ago base work trucks from Chevy (and others) had the grilles and bumpers painted white..

I'm liking these two monsters! Wow!

I thank GMTruckGuy for picking out the HDs in the background, and I have blown up the Hi-res pic.  It is easy to see the bolder HD Chevy face, bigger grill...




There is also the work truck and a GMC HD:

Eh... The Silverado is way overdone and the black plastic front end looks cheaper than a 90's Cavalier.

I like the black plastic on the work truck for some reason.

I was thinking that too...

Oh come on, the front isn't that bad-is it?

*looks again*

[ocnblu]

Oh Hell yeah... those muthas is bad! Love 'em both. GM's HD pickups in the past could be described as, well, not as serious looking as Ram and Super Duty... but these new ones blow them completely out of the running. Pure, burly sex machines these new trucks are.

FRIKKIN' SWEET!!!

I'm not seeing the pictures, can someone help me out. Thanks!

WOW. The Silverado is b-ut-iful. These 2 will def help GM survive. It seems as though the silv's design is aimed @ Ram's, while c-era's is aimed @ Ford SD's. By the way.... Has ne1 seen how ugly the new Ford HD's are? They are calling it a redisign but all they did was blow up the headlights. UGH! That will def contribute to Fords downfall n sway the diesel market GM's way.....

[Raybob9289]

Has anyone noticed that if these HD's are 4x4's they are missing the usual fender flares that have been on 2500's and 3500's since they went to IFS.

Raybob,

The new Super Duties are much more then "blow up headlights". Why do you think the new Silverado is buttiful?

Yup, it gets a new interior and a 6.4L Diesel, but usually when you refresh a vehicle you give it a face lift not a face drop! GM`s HD`s are going to cream the SD!

Raybob,

Yup, noticed that too. I liked the flares and I think they might help the look of these new trucks.

Looks like the Chevy HDs have a terrible case of chrome OD.

I like it well enough... what is ugly IMHO is the super
cheap & gross looking nose on the work truck. That
semi-gloss plastic reminds me of a '96 Toyota Tercel
base coupe with right hand mirror delete. GROSS!

[roadwarrior]

The bed rear fenders look pretty much the same as the regular trucks to me..looks like there are two types of mirrors available (I wonder if the vertical ones extend out like Ford's SD mirrors for towing).

that first photo with all the trucks reminds me of '60s-70s truck magazine ads, with the lineup parked in a field... neat.

Given that the camper mirrors on the GMT800 pickups do that, I would imagine that they will continue to do so. It's hard to tell from these pics, but they might even be the same parts as on the current trucks (which would be fine by me).

That Chevy looks as if its ready to EAT some TUNDRAS for lunch. Then SNACK on some F150's through out the afternoon and finish off with a NICE helping of RAM HD suprise for supper!------And ENJOY a helping of TITAN or F350 the next morning for breakfast!

This comment reminds me of a Tercel a buddy of mine had in college..must have been around a '92--had only one mirror...but the strangest thing is that the driver had an airbag and conventional 3-pt seat belt, but the passenger side had a motorized seatbelt (like some Fords had around '89-90).


He bought it new to replace a battered, green '71 Montego.

I no its weird but i actually like the angle and size of the windshield on the hds. It is the only thing that reminds me of the cheyenne concept.
