pretty cool to have your grandpa in the shot with the newborn lol. just got the 2022 chevy, had to do the 50 years apart photo.. probably do a few more cuz, why not. Old long horn still holds it own against the new one.

**FleetsidePaul** · 08-22-2022, 11:16 AM

Those are a couple good looking trucks. Cool picture.

**Palf70Step** · 08-22-2022, 11:50 AM

Very nice. One on the left is the keeper for sure!

Man that’s a good idea I might have to do the same when I get back home from vacation with my K20 and my new ‘22 silverado.

mr.mud1 · 08-23-2022, 07:21 AM

The old 'horn is a heck of a lot easier to load also.

Good looking pair. If they would put a decent v8 in the 22 reg cab, Id be shopping too.

I can’t speak for the 1/2 tons but the L8T 6.6 gas motor in the 3/4 and 1 tons is no slouch by any means. It pulls a good bit harder than the 6.0 in my ‘18 ever did. Same 6L90 behind them both and 4:11’s in the ‘18 and 3:73’s in the ‘22. So the new truck is at a bit of a gearing disadvantage and stills pulls a good bit harder.

**68 C10 Driver** · 08-24-2022, 06:43 PM

Amazing how far trucks have come in 50 years. But all in all, I like the simplicity of an old truck.

**special-K** · 08-25-2022, 08:27 AM

Nice pair of trucks, though the one on the left is much nicer

I was simple was still offered

**70cst** · 08-25-2022, 10:05 AM

I would ride in either

but the one on the left would turn more heads

**americanmusc1e** · 08-25-2022, 12:57 PM

Am I the only one that thinks the new Chevy trucks (especially the HDs) are the ugliest trucks on the market? Some of these trucks are so ugly I'd buy a F0rd first.

How did we go from the GMT400 to this mess of styling. So busy. Minivan A-pillars. Hood too tall. Grille too busy. So many add ons disrupting the lines.

Compared to the GMT400 which forms a design statement at the grille and follows that through to the tailgate.

Understood. Before I retired last year, our company bought a 2021 one ton with the 6.6 gasburner. Good pulling flatbed if you could afford fuel for it at 12 mpg.
I bought a 2016 GMC Duramax crew cab only because of resale value when I get ready to turn it loose. I don't get why Chevrolet has gone the way of not giving you what you want. I would buy a new Trail Boss with a 5.3 in a heartbeat if it came in a reg cab swb. But only available in the middle east.

Agreed, though I would take a good long look at a Ram before a Ford....

No you are not alone. I am not a fan either even though I am GM faithful. I love my 2013 short bed parked alongside my 67 step side. I also like the OBS body style.
