OK, I can tell a Classic from a NBS, but what is a Nnbs? I have a 2007 new body style Silverado LTZ Z71 Extended Cab but I don't know if it is a 900 or an 800 or a NBS or an NNBS. I looked on the window sticker for a clue and, guess what, I don't have a clue. - Lee

From everything I have read my take is:

 

Classic is GMT800 and the new 07 up body style is GMT900. I have seen other forums calling the GMT900 NNBS (new new body style?) and using NBS for GMT800 trucks (99-07 Classic)... Since I guess it was the original NewBodyStyle back in 99?

Yep, you're right. Technically the 07+ is the NBS, but some people like to call it the NNBS.

Yes, back in 1999, the 800 was the new body style - NBS.

 

Now for some grand reason, someone decided to call the 900 trucks NBS as well. And the more correct would be the NNBS or next new body style.

Thanks for clarification. I guess you could take nbs nnbs nnnbs all the way back to the beginning. I did finally find a little scrap of paper in my delivery information that had the GMT-900 designation on it. I guess that's what I have. thanks - Lee

NBS would be the newest generation. To call it the New New Body Style is dumb. Using this logic how many "N's" would we have to put in front of "NBS" since chevy's first truck in 1918?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Another agreement here.

 

I still say we should use GMT800, GMT900, etc. It's good enough for GM so why the hell not us?

I think the problem comes from the fact that GM made two generations of truck in the same model year.

 

If all 2006s were GMT800, and all 2007s were GMT900, then it would be pretty simple to talk about them without using terms like new or old body style. If you just said "I have a 2006 Silverado" or "I have a 2007", everybody would know what you were talking about.

 

Since both generations of truck were produced in the same model year, I can see why people would call one the "New Body Style". Now that we're into the 2008 model year, and the GMT800s are no longer being produced, it does seem kind of silly to keep referring to the GMT900s as the "New Body Style."

 

Maybe we should just start calling them "OBS" again - for Only Body Style. :cheers::chevy:

I think I like the old trusty "SEE PHOTO BELOW" idea best.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
