Re: What and why is a slant-nose?

After the '64-'66 "truck look", Chevy went back again to styling hues of the car line. The "elongated and taller" car styling is very evident in the '48-'54, '55-'59 and '67-'72 truck. The '66 Olds rounded fenders, curved bottom and sharp edge top windshield corners and slanted hood are obvious giveaways. Its common knowledge that GM management changed the hood design in '69 to give these pickups a more "truck look".
