Chevrolet Silverado Concept - The 7/8 Truck

While working on my Silverado K35 concept, I started on a smaller truck, the Silverado. Right now I have not given it a unique name, but it will have to be named in a way that the truck appeals to a bigger demographic than the K35. At the very least, it is nicknamed the 7/8 truck due to it being situated in-between a midsize and a full-size truck in comparison.



This is the initial sketch, experimenting with a new look for a Chevrolet truck that may be polarizing. 



Further refining the front end, I find the headlight shapes a little tricky to get right without giving off a strange, abstract jumble of shapes in the grille area... 



The truck is supposed to look a lot wider, with a higher roof, but this sketch was to experiment with the front end again, but also with an idea i had for the cabin section, where the roof and the rear pillars are all one section, broken by a black line at the beltline. This truck is meant to look more at home sitting next to an impala on a suburban driveway for the common family, rather than the construction zone like the K35. Though, with the right equipment, this Silverado 7/8 is still purposeful for the construction zone! 



Looking a little thick. The body will be trimmed so that it does not look so bloated. I am still deciding on the cabin roof piece, though. Also, the final design may or may not feature a low suspension.
