Which of These 10 Chevy Truck Designs Is the Most Iconic?

I always loved the 1947 3100 series, especially if they have the sun visor.  I actually have been looking for one in decent shape for a couple of years now.

What nothing from '60 to '66?

 

The GMT400s should be known for the abysmal speedo/tach that they were intro'd. Plus the wax heater axle center disconnect was Rube Goldberg approved. It took them several years to come up w/ a simple electrical solenoid design.

 Square Bodies 1967-72. Love the restored look to them today and still very functional.

Love the Squarebodies, but the GMT400 platform has always been my go to.

Personally I love all chevy trucks. My favorite has to be the one I own a '04 Silverado LT Z71 1500 4x4 5.3L Vortec. Square bodies will always be awesome. For vintage it's gotta be the '47 3100 series. Anything newer than the '07 classic doesn't even interest me some of them look cool but way too many electronics.

I was in the same camp and had a 2006 Sierra that I quite liked. Had bought it new and put well over 300,000km on it. Was resisting getting a newer truck though I liked the looks of the 2016 & up GMC's. However, after driving a rental 2017 for a day last spring, I was hooked. The K2xx's are light years ahead of the GMT800's in every way. It's like driving an 84 squarebody 4x4 for a day, then hopping in a GMT 800- Huge difference in drive characteristics,  ride, handling, interior, comfort, power, fuel mileage, etc.

I can't go back now.

I'm really surprised they passed over their El Caminos and S-10s. Interesting.

I'm not, this centennial is more focused on the full-size trucks.
