All these new concept trucks just make me miss the 88-98 body style even more.

This concept reminds me of the old terradyne concept from years back that never went anywhere.

And this is from... like 2000 I think.

They did alot of crazy to S10s, Crewcab V8 Dually S10s, ZZ4.3 motor, etc etc.

CrewCab Dually 5.7l Vortec



ZZ4.3 (Gm Designed 4.3 with ram jet intake and other goodies 260hp/277tq)




GM designed one prototype before they built the Extreme S10, it had the exact same as current extreme wheels on it, but they were 17 inch instead of 16 like they produced. Everyone has wanted these 17" wheels for 15 years since they built the prototype.....one day, a guy pops up with pics from some random guys POS s10 that has GM stamped 17" Extreme wheels on it. They were curb rashed and one was missing off the truck, the owner has no idea what piece of rare stuff he owns.

17" Extreme wheels from prototype.




Stock 16"s.




*** you can tell there are alot of differences between the prototype and the one they made.

907TBSS, that Terradyne concept never went anywhere, really? Look at the wheelarches, look familiar? Maybe not in exact form, but the current GM trucks have those really pronounced arches or eyebrows above the tires. Giant headlight over the fogs newer GMC SUV offerings.
Front grille area, look familiar? What's that new SUV offering - Terradyne? And some others have used similiar to that too.
Just cause they're not exact, don't underestimate how some "cues" show up. Actually tho, most concepts are just not my cup of tea - stylewise. Power isn't usually a problem, unless the public never sees it.

I worked on every one of those.

Low Dime, CCDually was & is ugly as sin proportion-wise. I did however like the ZZ4.3.

Well **** I won't hold my breath! It only took what 13 years to incorporate?

I know the Trailblazer SS from inception/prototype to production was only 4 years.
