LoL I predicted last night when this was posted that within 24 hours we'de have people in here saying it's ugly. Why? Because doesn't look like a standard OEM chevy truck. I don't see anything gaudy on it... looks pretty good to me. I bet a million bucks it looks much different in a real setting rather than a photoshopped background.

Other than that it looks like a standard truck to me... only lowered with some very well molded ground effects that aren't overly crazy and a hood.

Hell i'd drive it. looks alright to me :)

well the bodykit makes it look like a land barge, it sits lower than an s10, the side exhaust just looks bad, the scoop is ugly and big wheels w/ lower profile tires on a truck dont look good

but to each his own

I saw it HotRod and then did a search online for it and found this pic, a guy in Chicago posted up pics he had taken at a car show over there. This one will be on HotRods Power Tour this year.
Couple of the specs
LS7 427 crate motor and a 3:73 geared rearend.
14" Baer Racing brakes on all four corners, dropped suspension, & 22x10" rims on all 4 corners.
In the HotRod article, GM has done a clay mock up of the truck before this one was built, they used the hood scoop from th 1967 Stingray. After the clay mock-up was done they took molds of that and are apparently using that for the truck panels.
The air intakes on the front bumper are for the front brakes, CNC'd aluminium was used.

I like it, only thing I would change is the size of 427 emblems. Wonder how big of tire you could run? I'd like 18's or 17's for doing something 22's have no sidewall to hook and might ride like a rock. I'm old though.
