Re: Let's See Some 88-98 Std. Cab 4x4's.

Obviously, these trucks don't look anything like the 67-72s. But I think I see his point, only because I've had the same thought myself.

I think before long the 88-98 genre will be the most collectible/desirable/restorable truck since the 67-72, and for the same reasons: simple good looks that were cutting-edge for their time, and solid powertrains that run forever.

But if the 67-72s are a benchmark (as far as subjective categories like timelessness), then it could be said that GM is trying to recreate the 67-72s every time they roll out a new design. They just hit a lot closer to the bulls-eye with the 88-98s.
