Current Chevy/GMC Ads- No love to the 73-87 trucks

Anybody else notice this. I'm watching the Rockies game (go ROX BTW!) and they have shown the latest chevy truck commercial a couple times already. you know the one with the fly on the wall view with engineers putting together various generations of Chevy trucks. GMC's got something similar with the different generations of trucks running through a brick wall.

Funny thing is they skipped over the 73-87 trucks. Skipping from 67-72 to the 88-99's in both of them.

My question is what gives? I love all generations of GM trucks, but am partial the 73-87 trucks. That generation certainly isn't lacking for any significance. The design was good enough to keep them competitive for 18 years (when you include the 88-91 1 tons/subs/k5's). They were the first for fuel injection in the history of GM trucks. There's plenty of other milestones.

Anybody else notice this oversight? I know you can only jam so many images into a 30-45 sec spot, but you know nobody on the ad team knows one truck from another. It just seems silly to miss an entire generation (18 years) worth of trucks.

Just an observation....
