That's exactly how I read it. The front crossmember we saw in the first
  spyshots (on TheCarConnection.com) looks almost identical to the one
in my '03 (and '99 for that matter). I'm reading this as "new body on
old frame."

Which is exactly what GM did with the Blazer/Jimmy in '93/'94 with the
switch from the boxy body style to the rounded one. Same chassis, new body.
