New/Old Big/Small
Let's see some new vs old side by sides of our trucks.
My '72 sized up to my 2012 Chevrolet 2500HD the size difference is really something. ![]() ![]()

Re: New/Old Big/Small
those pics are yuuuge!! Awesome trucks both of 'em. Your '72 sits perfectly, right where I like the LWB's to sit. What are the suspension details??

Re: New/Old Big/Small
Sorry about the picture sizes, don't know why my image host does that to me sometime.
Suspension details. CCP springs front and back 3" up front 5" out back. It's a good daily driving height. Don't have to worry about bottoming out even on our terrible SK roads.

Re: New/Old Big/Small
The 2012 is HUGE next to the 72, but the box is what counts. Thats an itty bitty box on such a large truck...

Re: New/Old Big/Small
It must be an optical illusion as the 2500 has a 6'6" box, which is longer than standard.

Re: New/Old Big/Small
After looking at this for a bit, you know the one thing I love about old trucks????? Round wheel wells, who was the brilliant design mind who decided to make square wheel wells? End rant.

Re: New/Old Big/Small
They are waiting for the square wheel to come out, then they will be ahead of the game LOL
