It is a Chevy truck with an 8' bed (with mid-gate open). How is that is cheating? If it cheating to out-think Ford, then I guess every car maker in the world is cheating.
What do you think a LT is? It's a dressed up F-150. In fact I have LT door handles on my F-150. I can put just about any part from a LT on my F-150< well I could if I had a Supercrew>.
