Neither. Both are IMHO ugly.

I think my 05 Chevy is nicer looking than either of these...

but, i'd take the GMC if you gave me one.

I'm with Oldblu -- both are ugly and boring. And if you squint your eyes just a little at the GMC, it becomes a Ford. Woo hoo.

How are they technologically and m,echanically? Can they beat the Ford in pulling power and toughness? Sure hope so 'cause they're big losers in the styling department. Although, you have to admit, they are an improvement over the 2001-2006 trucks -- those things are hideous.

get a stude

They still make those?

It's a toss up, neither will win a styling contest IMNSHO. And my 49 still looks way better.

The more I look at them, the more I like them. Of course, when they actually hit the streets, they'll probably look different to me. After a few years on the streets, I'm suspecting the looks will be adjusted slightly. I'll have to disagree with you, on the part about the Ford trucks being tougher, & better powered John. I work for a company that has over 1200 vehicles, in its fleet, & the Fords, have given far more trouble, than the Dodges, & G.M. Trucks, in the Fleet. We had a Ford engineer, tell us that actually the only reason Ford had been a better seller than G.M. , & Dodge, is because they built slightly more trucks, than the others. When it comes to Truck toughness, & longevity, you can't deny Chevrolet, & GMC, are head, & shoulders, above the rest. Alot more 40, 50, & 60 year old G.M. trucks around, than there is Dodge, & Ford trucks.

i like the gmc better but there still to much plastic on it and i tought stude stop makeing trucks in the 60s

I like the looks of the Chevy, but personally, I'm sticking with my 'Bolt. Its been around a lot longer than those ever will be. Just my $0.02

GM still makes trucks?

-W

I think they're both ugly. Even my '99 GMC doesn't look too good. The 73 -87s look way better, and the 67 -72s look better still.
Anything older can't be matched.

They don't make real trucks anymore. They are pieces of plastic hung together. They are not work trucks. I don't think these trucks would stand up to the abuse the older trucks took when they were still made out of steel and they are way over priced I don't know who can afford to buy them.

From the photos, I would vote for the GMC. It might be different if I see them both side by side. Although, I like the '06 GMC's better than the Chevys also.
It used to be, that the GMC's always looked ugly to me compared to the Chevys, now it's the other way around.
At least that's the way I see it.

John

who can afford one and the gas to go in it.both are way over priced and ugly

Just make sure you get the diesel and allison tranny. I like the GMC best.

If I was being given one, either would be ok. If I was to buy, probably neither. It's hard to say, though. I didn't care for the '99-'06 Chevy/GMC fullsize when they first came out & now I drive an '02 Z/71 Xcab Silverado. Think sometimes it has to do with what you are exposed to, meaning that the more you see something, it tends to grow on ya.

Both are beautiful but my vote is for the GMC because of the grille. The Chevy grille center strip looks the same on every vehicle they make these days and almost identical to Chrysler. Why can't GM understand that they need to make vehicles that look like the old ones to sell and quit trying to grab onto the shirttails of the other 2? Can you imagine the excitement if they made a truck exactly like the 40s or 50's with modern a drivetrain and suspension!? Or a Camaro that looks exactly like a 69. They wouldn;t be able to produce them fast enough. The HHR is a copy of a PT crusier; shame on GM. The SSR initially had my pulse pounding but ended up being another Corvette with a stupid phony bed and ridiculous price. Instead of looking cool, you look stupid driving one of those jokes.

After reading all the replys I think it's obvious that we would all rather have Old Iron before the new tin / plastic they call trucks now a days. All the new trucks look the same to me and I can't work on them anyways. as far as looks go, I prefer the Chevy but that just me.

Glad to see they got away from those wedge shaped headlights they had for the last couple years. Reminded me of a '61 Buick Invicta or some such thing.

both are ugly,chevys a little better.the base colorados that napa uses now with the parking lights in the hood are unbelieveably ugly.

1959 or 1957 task force - best looking.

Exactly!!!
