The 88-99 old body, I've worked on way too many that had too many early failures. IMO the bodies were built really crappy. I was not a fan of the IFS front suspension. The new body style 99 up are better aesthetically looking, but I just never really cared much for them. The frames are stronger than the previous but again the IFS ruins it for me. Don't get me wrong, they are good trucks, I just would rather have a super duty, or an OBS ford before a 99 up Chevy. I got bitten by the ford bug in the late 90's and haven't really went back until I had a dodge for a while. Now I just build what I want but that takes years. Hence why this truck is still apart.
