Chevrolet then asked him to redesign the front end to look more "agressive." Thats why the 69 had the blunt hood and wide, flat grill. It looked more "agressive." Makes me wonder....I'm also a big fan of the 99-02 silverados, I think they are a beautiful truck, like the 67's....maybe thats why they kept the cab and bed and went to that funky square front end.....is this a modern day 68 to 69 "agressive" look????
Wow, that surprises me. I always liked the 67-68 style because I thought that it looked badass, especially when they are raised and sitting on four fatties.
Go figure.
