1st look at new chebbies

They look a lot like the current truck.

The steps in the rear bumper are a good idea, my rear quarters under the tail lights are scratched from me stepping up on the bumper corners and I guess dragging the toe of my boot on the paint.

I'm not seeing a lot of difference either, the bumper flats are nice as you mentioned. A full loaded 3/4 diesel crew shortbed is on the local dealer lot for 61K!!

Not for me...

I see they ditched the torsion bars for coil-overs up front. And went to an aluminum block on all the engines as well. Wonder if the tooling for the 4.3 block is 40 years old?

Mey, doesn't do anything for me. I do like the bumper step design though.
