Man that sucks....That was a great looking truck. Sorry to see it.

That rock pile looks like the one in the old Chevy commercials with the Truck climbing the rock pile with a Ford sitting on the bed.

You know what . look at the bright side .... at least the front clip looks better in the last pic

turboburge · December 16, 2003

Not a fan of the front clip huh? I really like it, but then again, I also am a fan of the Lanche. If it makes you feel any better, there will be a new front clip on the 2005 model. I don't know any exact details of what is different, but I do know that it'll be different.

Not that I'm doubting you or anything....But.....How do you know this?

OUCH! How did it happen?

K1500, that is a rotten thing to say. Especially seeing as how you own one yourself.

Nice pics. But then that last one.

That truck had a beautiful front end.

Wingnut, I used to be a test technician in the GM truck test lab. My fiance' is a test engineer there and right now she is preparing to test the new front clip on a 2500HD diesel.

I've been trying to pry any more details from her about it, but she hasn't seen the entire truck assembled with the new clip yet.

I learned alot about these trucks while I worked there and actually tested many of the chassis components. I have an entirely different respect for these trucks after working there.

Hey thanks for the answer.

Are you talking about a new clip just for the HDs, or all of the trucks?

Just trying to plan my next purchase...Thanks

SnakeEyeSS · January 11, 2004

That rock pile looks like the one in the old Chevy commercials with the Truck climbing the rock pile with a Ford sitting on the bed.

Wasn't it the other way around? I could be wrong, but I remember a couple years ago in a Truckin' Magazine Ford Special they had some pics of old ads, one showing a Ford climbing a pile of rocks with a C-10 in the bed.
