I have been hearing people say that since 07... I still don't see it, and I look at the nose of an 07 burb all day, and the 68 nose on my burb all evening. I just don't see it, other than a line through the center.

Looks more like a '90s S10 grille to me.

Personally I like the newer grill of the trucks and the Malibu.

I was at the dealer today actually talking to the sales people about that very same subject, but you could tell they didn't get what I was talking about.

Oh well...

I can see some styling cues that are very similar,,, like the way the hood transitions into the outer front fenders, and the grill has the double inlets.

i really like the look of the new body style.i never cared for the style of the 99-06. in fact,i couldnt wait to see the "new body" style to come out in 99.when i did i was disapointed and ended up buying a 97 in 99.
any excuse to buy another chevy truck is a good one!

anyway...the way the hood slopes down in front and the openings on the grill i think look very similar. i wonder if i could incorperate a "c-10" emblem on it...hhhmmm.............

treveiger · 02-12-2011, 02:29 PM

Reminds me of the 69,70 grill

gringoloco · 02-15-2011, 02:19 AM

If you squint, and hold your tongue just right, the Tahoe/Avalanches are reminiscent of the 67-68s...

ETsC10 · 02-15-2011, 02:35 AM

The did retro the styling a bit.

Now if you put the newer one on a diet will it look
like the one on the right?

Great looking newer truck BTW and congrats!

eightbanger · 02-15-2011, 11:19 AM

The step in the hood where it meets the fenders, and the two slot grill with bowtie in the centre...i'd say there are definitely echoes of the past there.

BP68 · 02-15-2011, 10:59 PM

I can't see it. But I am partial to my 06. I did not like the 03-05 grille with the way it fit the hood. IIRC the 06 and 07 classic are the only ones with that hood/grille.

60ratrod · 02-15-2011, 11:03 PM

i definitly see the resemblence. i like it. you can mostly see it in the grill and the hood/fender transition
