NASCAR has had preliminary discussions with its three manufacturers to discuss the possibility of a makeover for the vehicles in the Camping World Truck Series.

Truck Series director Chad Little confirmed that a meeting was held earlier this month at the NASCAR Research and Development Center to debate modifications would be made but nothing is concrete.

There have been discussions with the manufacturers about a possible update, Little said. But just discussions of a front-end update right now. Were not far along right now to say any more than that.

Little added that the manufacturers Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota presented a plan that would involve an update to the front end. Potential changes include a shorter nose, narrower front end and alterations to the bumpers, headlights and grilles.

The timing makes sense since there will be redesigned Silverados, F150s and Tundras in the showrooms later this season.

Hopefully, well have a decision soon, Little said. We need to inform the competitors and obviously they need to make plans, too. Hopefully, well get it finalized soon but nothing has been decided more than that right now.

Remember how that 1994 Dodge RAM pickmeup with its "new" rounded front end immediately made every other manufacturer's truck look old and dated? By the next year, all the flat and square pickups were gone, replaced with bubbles and curves.
