The spokes also appear to stay a consistent width for their whole length, unlike the Quests, which fan out as they reach the barrel.
While we don't need new new body panels for every facelfit, more rounded edges for the 2000s pickup and slightly dated trim pieces on the older generations would fit rather well.
so do you think they'll use the same front fascia as the 2000-2006 Roamer for the upcoming 1994-2000 D-Series and probable facelifted H-Series or will it be a different one
The new facelifts look nice. If they're from the 2000s though, it's gonna be conflicting. Because it would be strange for a vehicle made in the 70s to still be produced in the 2000s..
how about they would actually try to put a facelift on the gran mashall like what some modders did with the roamer parts?
Not exactly. As previously noted by @CaptainZoll (?), Ford used the same cab and similar bed from 1980 until 1996 (1997 for 3/4 and 1 ton trucks) on their F-Series trucks. GM used the GMT400 platform from 1988 to 1999 with no changes to the cab or bed. You see, it's not all that uncommon for a manufacturer to use one bodystyle of truck for 10+ years in the span of 1980s to early 2000s. Those were vastly different times from today, when trucks were meant for work and didn't have to be styled as cutting-edge vehicles with bodylines of a crossover and change year to year in order to remain "trendy".
80's* but also... 1985 - 2006 with some only some really minor changes. Humvee's are produced even to this day
I know it's not a truck but another example of keeping the same body with minor changes for decades: 1972 vs 2000
Well, that's a borderline case. The original was actually discontinued in the early '90s when the Cinquecento was launched, production then went on in Poland for the domestic market only for about another decade. There's countless examples like it. Eastern European countries keeping ancient designs alive well past their prime though doesn't quite count, IMO.
