New Silverado Medium Duty Truck for 2019
Hope to see some Super C's built on this chassis in the future.

https://www.trucks.com/2018/03/07/chevrolet-silverado-medium-duty-trucks/ is reporting 'the availability of the factory-installed rear air suspension."

It's a noteworthy development, for sure.

I personally think the Chevy LCF (low cab-forward) truck line might be more suitable for motorhome conversion. I have not studied the question in any great detail, however.

Actually not exactly. RAM started offering the 68rfe behind the 6.7 way before the Aisin and it has proven to be a great trouble free transmission lasting for hundreds of thousands of miles.

I'm glad to see GM partnering with Navistar on this project. That D/A package has really been the consistent winner. Ford: Good Transmission but doubtful engines. I think because Ford wanted to hotrod Navistar's engines. RAM had it made with Cummins, but transmissions were iffy till they offered the Aisin. Meanwhile Them D/A's Kep' Rollin' On.
