Brand new Class 8 trucks by General Motors? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found these pictures on Facebook that someone came up with via artificial intelligence of what a brand new Chevrolet Bison might look like if they were built today. I'm sure that the GMC General wouldn't be that hard to imagine from these photos either, if only they were actually produced. Where do I place my order?

Good looking truck.

If they ever make one though, I hope it would have a Manual Transmission !!

Yeah 5X4 with a jimmy in it. The first big truck for me had a 6-71 and 5X3. Would like to relive some of those good old days. My wife tells me I wouldn’t last long!

Yeah, the old 2-Stroke Detroits are gone. Killed by the government, but funny thing the government kept using them, lol (military). Plus they also got low fuel mileage for todays prices. I say that but the 2-53 in my farm tractor seems like it can run forever on a tankful.

Our Fire Dept. has a 1991 Aerial truck that has a 2 cycle Detroit. It just screams going down the road, with an Allison automatic it gets about 2 mpg!
Top speed is about 60, but it likes 55 better. With a 102' ladder/bucket over the cab it beats hell out of anyone inside!
I'm one of a few that drives it.

Here's another one someone came up with.

Cool concepts. I like the second one the most, except the bumper

Sooner or later will get the 1966 version. Very similar in design to the current Tesla big rig.

That one's so powerful it moves/erases the lines on the road...

As much as I'm from the old school, I have to say that I like it.

I guess the basic body style looks OK. I would rather have fuel tanks that didn’t look built in, a non integrated sleeper, a more conventional practical front bumper, and round headlights. I guess I don’t like change.
