Re: Why I Didnt Buy A Chevy and Bought a Sierra

Nice truck Chevytruckguy. I love that color too! The Sierra is definitely the better looking of the GMT900 twins. I love the ’73-’80 influence in the grill and the bulging fender flairs. The Silverado is just downright distasteful from every angle.

One thing that I cannot stand about the GMT900’s is the poor sheet metal where you can see stamping divots in the doors and bed slabs. The unprotected door edges at the bottom are a total joke and will be a huge problem for those people that live in the rust belt. I don’t know what GM was thinking by putting a door edge running parallel to the road where it will get badly chipped from road debris then rust like crazy. Other than the doors, the GMT900 Sierra is a sweet rig.



Here is how the door edges should be… protected by a rocker panel with a flat surface that runs parallel to the road instead of a sharp edge. Flat surfaces do not chip like a sharp edge does.
