The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - is it just me or do chevy HD's resemble our trucks?

I'm with most of you on the Avalance, however you had better get use to the front end. That is what all Chevy trucks will look like in the near future. I believe the 03 models will get the Av headlight set up. As I understand it the Chevy and GMC will part ways with styling more than they have in some time. As the Chevy will take on the Av look to appeal to the younger crowd the GMC will remain close to what they are to appeal to the RV'ers and Boaters etc. Sport vs Classic styling.

I like the front ends on the Av's so I think the trucks will look good. Just don't bolt on all that crappy plastic on the sides. I own a new GMC HD and I love the looks of the truck. Glad they are not planning to change them too much.
