I saw a Silverado done up as a Cheyenne on the highway yesterday. It looked like one of these orange/white ones:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
At first glance, it was intriguing, but it wore off pretty fast. It was really just that it didn’t look exactly the same as everything else on the road.
I realized that I do have a certain amount of nostalgia for trucks from the time when the Cheyenne and its various C/K siblings were made. But it has nothing to do with two-tone paint or “big 10" / “heavy half” decals. It’s the squared-off utilitarian style. It’s the bed, cab, and hood proportions looking right to my eye. It’s a bench seat and relatively plain interior, which you don’t feel weird about tracking mud in to. It’s simple controls you can operate without taking off your gloves on a bitterly cold winter morning instead of tiny knobs and dials on stalks. Oh yeah, and it’s also a price tag that isn’t in the same range as premium-line German cars.
(Edited to add a title, because I am dumb and hung over.)

I don’t particular ly like the K2XX trucks, but I do have a soft spot for how good this package makes them look. Has anyone started doing this to the newer T1XX trucks yet ? I doub t it would look as good...

I don't think it would work at all. The K2xx trucks have a lot of Squarebody DNA in their looks, that's why it works. The T1xx trucks just look like fried hell.
