Agreed. I quite liked some of the 'retro' inspired versions.

I have seen those, diggin' that regular cab.
I'll probably get Hell for going off-topic
but Flex Dream in Japan mods late model Toyotas with retro front ends.https://www.flexdream.jp/landcruiser/FD-classic/
An 80 with a 60 grill is pretty cool looking to me. Now if they swappped in a LS, that would be pretty sweet.

Really too bad they don't give us a retro version of the 67-72's, best looking Chevys ever. Why do the Camaro guys get to have all the fun?
If they are going to do a giant grill, at least make it look cool.
YES! This x eleventy brazillians. Not only is the 67-72 Chevy truck considered one of the best looking Chevy/GM lines, it's considered one of the best looking pickups ever made. Just a classic, balanced look.
IMO GM ruined the look of their trucks when they came out with the "square body" in 1973. I know a lot of people like square body chevies but I never liked them.
It's the big square wheel wells that make them look awkward and yet, for some reason GM has decided that ugly square wheel wells are their "signature" or something?

Our next door neighbor had a '72 short bed for sale a couple few months ago, almost bought it....but I need a project vehicle like I need another hole in the head. When I lived in Tucson...there was guy with a short bed 4WD running around, wasn't lifted maybe sitting on 32's, painted tan with black wheels...looked so right.
If I ever won the lotto, would probably blow it all buying up old trucks and SUV's

That's pretty slick looking! I don't know that I'd own another 80 though. Last one wasn't great. Could've just been a lemon I guess. When I sold it, I found out the guys buying it were shipping it to Syria or Somalia or something....
I think I'd rather have a 60 as a weekend toy or a 100 as a dd.

Changes the whole look of the 80. Never liked the 80, but speaking of grills (since we are talking about that gawd awful front end on the new Chevy) a 60 grill changes the whole thing.
Diggin this tu-tone paint.

They are getting so old, they need a full restoration at this point. I would only buy one with the intention of stripping it to the frame and tossing in a LS and manny trans. (will never happen, but nice to dream)
They did a 100 too, kinda cool too.
That said, pretty content with our Trooper....total old man colors and so under the radar. Has 120K miles on it, only I have had to do it, was a new starter so far. Makes a nice addition to my Tacoma. And to keep this thread on topic...how 'bout that new Chevy, I know! Uh!? Wow! What are they thinking!?
Buddha.
Finally in expo white.
I sold my old s10 to a local Somali dude. Five years later it's still in my name, he's never registered it. What'd he do with it!?
Edit:
Chevy, grille, eww etc.

I was actually going to attach a picture of that very truck.

Unfortunate that FCA is building them, but at least they are still doing the Wranglers. Instead of trying to restore something old...best bet for us nostalgia guys is buying a JL or JLK. Retro look with all the modern convenances...just trade it back in before the warranty is up.
At least they know how to do grills right.
Only new truck that I actually like. Ticks all of the boxes...Chevy, who?

Don't they know if you put after market wheels on your truck they're supposed to be black?
