Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Part II

Great find! I want one like that. I knew when these trucks came out they would have the appeal the 67-72s had at that time once they got that age. In '92 I had a '72 K/20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper. I ordered a new truck as close to how I would have ordered a '72 as I could. Some 4wd might disagree due to the new IFS front end, but in my eyes these are the last classic trucks. The 21st century trucks crossed over a line of no return, in my eyes. I felt that way when the '88s came out, until I saw them prove differently. I got stuck on '72s because I liked older trucks than that but those were as modern as I wanted. So way back when, I felt '73s were too new. Time changes perspective. The 88-98s seem simple now. The last trucks with just a steel bumper and a grille.
