    Kinda cool in a nostalgic way, but not for $50K...

    Now if they were to build an updated 67-72(original body shape) K10 with modern stuff like brakes and fuel injection, but keep the leaf springs and manual hubs, that's be a winner in my book. It might even get me to crack open my wallet.

    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Diesels in anything newer are $10+K options.

    You don't have to spend $50K. They'll do it on any Silverado. Get a WT package and have it done up for right at $38k, or get a fairly nicely equipped LS for right at $40k. Not saying that's chump change...but you don't have to go with a top of the line truck.

    I never liked the square body trucks (1979-89.) Probably didn't like them because the square bodies replaced the best looking Chevies ever, the 67-72.

    Just for fun, my '71 Blazer:

    I think my favorite was the 59 Apache small window. And I do love that K5 Blazer.

    I learned how to drive around 12 in my Pa's 1949 Chevy Pickup.

    It wasn't this nice...




    It had a railroad tie for a front bumper, and the driver's side door had a tendency to come open on hard right hand turns if you leaned against it.

    He used to beep-beep the horn every morning passing by the neighbors up the street on his way into work at Fort Howard Steel and Wire in Green bay, WI. One day, the eldest daughter who was quite the artist, came down when he was otherwise occupied drinking beers with her dad, and painted the Road Runner on the doors.

    Have any of you seen the photos of the 2019 Silverado? Chevy's full sized pickup gets round wheel arches for the first time since 1972!

    Following Dodge and Ford's lead, they'll be offering a diesel half ton as well.

    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
