Here's my third, final, and favorite entry: GMC Yukon Z71 All Terrain

post-1757-0-97521800-1295417203.jpg

Z71 normally says Off Road by the badge, but I figure in the spirit of the concept, and since this looks like it could conquer the terrain of another planet, "All Terrain" suits. I chose "Yukon because later 2-door models switched to that name along with their 4-door brethren, and I think that "Yukon" sounds tougher and far less goofy than "Jimmy".

The wheelbase and overall length are a bit shorter, but long enough that it doesn't appear stubby. The doors are pretty radical, which I like, and allow more access to the back without requiring a suicide door. Front fascia has been tweaked a bit: slightly smaller grill and larger lower intake and smoked out headlights.

It has coupe doors!

Cool touch.

I get what you were trying to do with the doors, but trucks have never had coupe doors and I can't just seem to accept that part of your design. However, I think minus the door issue, you rock one mean truck there DF!!

I've another entry coming that's like nothing previously posted, and nothing like I hinted in my other posts. Hopefully I can get it done tonight. If not I'll just put it in Member Showcase when it's done.

Not really a fan of the '73-'77 El Camino door glass in one of the entries. I mean, the donor vehicle is cool, but it just does not fit with the rest of the chop. No harmony.

I disagree, but different strokes for different folks. Tell you what, you can have the ColoBlazer and I'll have the Yukon All Terrain. ;)

A ton (pun intended!) of entries were submitted by such creative artists, and many of them are such worthy competitiors.

However, in my opinion, one stood out above the rest, because it reminds me of the one truck/SUV I so wanted in the '90s - the '92-'97 GMC Yukon 3-door. I'd place my vote, if I was being asked :P , on z28luvr01's design as it captures the GMT-400 generation very closely (all it needs is a full metal top to make me completely happy):

I really want that freaking watch:
