2020 Tahoe done up to look like a 1968 Chevy Suburban. No barn doors on the Tahoe, but I think this attempt at a C10 truck tailgate works-ish.... It’s my least favorite part.

I think the wheels are my favorite part. I w onder if they’re 18's .

In my view, you are testing the Oppositelock Personal Relationship Provisions. Specifically, the “love and honour , in sickness  and in health” clause...

Can you get it with a metal dash, vinyl bench seats, and hand crank windows?

That should be sold in place of what Chevy sells now.

The belt line feels a little high, but otherwise pretty amazing. B etter looking to me than the OEM Tahoe.

Too much nope in this for me.  I want to like it, I think its a cool idea, but there's just too much that doesn't sit right with me.  The hood is one thing.  That style truck needs a flat, square hood/fenders.  Also, I love the idea of the tailgate, and the 2 tone, but the way its executed make it look like a truck with an ill-fitting, shitty cap.  Those wheels are dope AF though.

Yeah the wheels are amazing

Its the windshield angle that kills it for me. It's too laid back, and too curved.

Forgive me Sergio, for I have sinned, because you have not rendered unto this earth a replacement for the Ramcharger.

If I had to have a big SUV I suppose this would be cooler than a normal Tahoe. I’ll take mine in purple,  with no two tone, and a good 4” drop.

Also it’s gonna need different mirrors, and smoker windows built in where the factory mirrors are

Yeah, I don’t like the transition on the top of the hood either (they needed to make the fenders a bit taller and the curve in the hood less pronounced) , and the back tailgate looks kinda half-assed... I still like it though, but maybe I’m just distracted by the wheels.

Oh man. It just needs to be brown/ other  brown two tone that my dad’s 88 suburban was.

I think the ‘88 look might have been easier to pull off with the current gen Tahoe, people keep pointing out awkward things on this truck, and I think it might have been cleaner to use that gen...

The misalignment of the paint line at the base of the a-pillar is killing me.

Man, that brings back memories. I always liked the dark blue over light blue.

I like that combo too, but inverted. Couldn’t find a good pic of it on a Suburban but found it on a C/K.

Aw crap, you just ruined it for me. Now I can’t not notice it.

Well, that’s part of my job, making sure that shit looks/works right and is put together as intended.

Hurts when you have to point out a fuckup.

That was the first Suburban my dad bought, in 1988, and he drove it for 10 years. Then he bought a ‘98, the first one we had with 4WD. Always with the 454 and towing package, because he hauled a lot of metal, and needed to be able to forklift a pallet into the back.

He’s hated every new one since about 2005. Why the pic either posts twice or not at all is a Kinja mystery.

Agreed, that also detracts from it.

Yeah, its such a cool idea but it just doesn't quite work.

Wonder how it would sell if this is what GM did with the new Blaz er?
