2007 HD Spy Shots...

[Frozen001]

Found these on the net...

 

 

 

I see they corrected the mirror tilt...

WOW man great find.

 

Here are some edited pics. Maybe it will help us get a better feel for the front.

With the camo car companies use, you can't see very much at all

Am I making out a GMC on the grille under the cover? How about the hubcaps--those look like the current spec GMC center caps (with black tape on them) but I can not remember what the Chevy's look like--maybe they are the same.

[Frozen001]

My "guess" would be that it is a Chevywith the towing mirrors... based solely on the reat tail lights..and the other is a GMS baked on what we can see of the grille..

I think I see a torsion bar

[XR Man]

Ditto on the torsion bar setup.

Must be an HD, you can see the frame hanging out under the body. You would think that could figure that stuff out by now, like how to build a body that covers up the frame rails.

If this keeps up my next HD truck may be a Toyota or Dodge.....this may sound silly but gm doesn't seem to get it (or doesn't care).....I have spent quite a bit of money with them in the last 3yrs (my wife has a suburban 4x4 LT and I have a 2500LD 4x4 SLE) but unless things turn out differently than they appear this very well may be my last go around with gm. One last thing if they in fact do have torsion bars as it appears in the pics....it will demonstrate yet again gm's lack of trying....anyone ever heard of coil over? I guess we have but gm hasn't!

Most guys complain that GM sit too low to begin with... a body that covers the frame rails would be even lower unless it you channel the body....

Toyota has yet to have a proven 3/4 ton truck so that is a leap of faith...

 

Everybody bashes the t-bar front end but they have held up pretty good for me and many others out there...

Well maybe the frame needs to be channeled, at least to cover the frame rails. You don't see the frame rails so prominately displayed on Furds or Dotches. Only the body will sit lower, the frame height won't change, either will the ground clrearance.

You could just buy steps and then you will not see the frame...

 

And channeling is when the frame rales stickinto the body pan...typically done on custome cars...

 

The trucks have enough side mody metal so I thing that adding even more just to hide the frame rails would not be a good thing...

 

They are HDs... i.e. work trucks... who cares if you can see the frame rails....

What's wrong with the torsion bar IFS? Rides like a dream, handles great on the tight highway corners. I am not the hard core off-roader and 99% of the population is not either. Build for the masses. If GM went to a solid front axle, how do all you experts know, they would sell more trucks? The snow plow population is not that much either. I would say I have heard more compliments on GM's comfortable ride than the arguement of a SFA. Just my $.02.
