When the new GMT 900 2007 Silverado came out, I really didn't like it. It was ugly, but as time goes by I grew to like it. I was used to the 800 body style. Even though the new 900 Silverado came out in 2007, Chevrolet still had the 800 body style for model year 2007 but under the name "Silverado Classic". Could GM possibly make a 2014 Silverado Classic under the 900 platform just like the 2007 800 classic?

In one manner or another they will have a "classic" version for that first year or so. Even back in the 80s they held over the previous body style for a few years ('88-'91) for the 2500s and such.

nonthing special with the term classic just a fancy way of saying left overs and selling them at a high price because of the word (classic)

High price? Yes classic is just fancy for older generation but our generation's "classics" weren't sold at no premium. If they were where you are at then you were getting ripped off. Where I bought mine they were selling them for less just so they could get rid of them and get the "new" models in and selling.

No special pricing, not even a special badge. Just a Silverado that happens to be the previous body style. When the last Malibu came out in 2007 the old ones became rental-only Chevrolet Classics though, that was the only time I had heard of them actually labeling something as such.

I remember as a little kid going into a ford dealership with dad and he was looking at fords and they had a poster showing what looked like my dads old truck all nice and new calling it a classic style or something like that . I think it was the model change when fords use to have egg shell shape fronts in there f150s .

Since the new platform is set to debut on December 13, and sell in April I am guessing they will have a classic.

No,no "classic" is planned.

The body style before that was called a classic too. My wife and I test drove one 4 or 5 years ago at the local dealership. Said Malibu Classic on the back.

Frankly I doubt it - the 2013 production runs are over and the retooling has begun - new trucks rolling off the line in April.

 

I read somewhere that they produced extra 2013 trucks (maybe too many) to hold them over until the new trucks are out.

 

A clue is that even though they are announcing them in 2013 they are 2014 models.

 

In 07 with the HD line they did not call them 08's so we had the Classic and the NBS

 

In 99 with the SUV line we had some old style 2000 and new style 2000 - esp in the Tahoe

 

I don't remember with the 1500 series trucks.

The 1999 OBS GMC Sierra's actually had a "CLASSIC" nameplate added to the tailgates....

I had a '99 Classic too great truck. All my friends didn't believe me either because of the New '99 Silverado. I had to show them my registration.

 

I miss my 99 classic. Every parts guy got confused that I had a 99 with a 350 in it

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
