2003 Beau James??

I saw this truck at the Fort Worth Stock Show this past weekend. It's from a local dealer and said it was a Beau James. However, I haven't read or hears of GMC making a new one. Is this for real? I'm thinking it's not because it looks to me like they just added decals. You'll notice there's a decal across the windshield and small on on the base of the black cab extender. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to ask the dealer guy about the truck since I had to deal with a screaming child.

Oh, kinda on the same subject. I was at a salvage yard this weekend with a buddy, and we saw a '70 something Beau James. It had been pretty much stripped and was crushed a little bit. It's SO sad to see trucks like this in that state.

LOL

Yes, all the special edition trucks like the Beau James were GMC. They were the 'higher end' trucks I guess.
