We could spend all day staring at modified classic Chevy C10s, however, without General Motors churning out the original versions - like the 1974 Chevy C10 - back in the days, we would never have had these awesome custom-builds. The 1974 model was among the third-generation versions of the Chevy C10s that had a production run from 1973 to 1991, making it the longest-produced generation version of the C10s.
Officially known as the “Rounded-Line” generation, the third-generation series debuted in 1972 for the 1973 model year with a completely new design and a product range that included the traditional two-door pickup, chassis cab trucks, as well as a newly introduced four-door crew cab pickup truck. Although it was produced in the second year of the series, the 1974 Chevy C10 had its fair share of impressive features.
The chassis consists of an all-steel ladder-type frame with a drop center design which allows for easy entry and exit due to the low cab mounting. It also features strong and durable deep-section channel side rails equipping the truck to withstand the duties of hard truck use.
Finding the perfect driving position in a vehicle could be hard sometimes, hence, to mitigate this problem in the 1974 Chevy C10, General Motors fitted the truck with an adjustable steering column called the Comfortilt steering wheel.
The Cheyenne Super interior option gives the 1974 Chevy C10’s cabin an exquisite demeanor. The cabin is fitted with a bench seat with a full-depth foam cushion of about 7 inches thick. The foam cushion is then upholstered in special all-vinyls or herringbone striped nylon cloth with nylon bolsters.
Also, the Cheyenne Super interior consists of full-gauge instrumentation set in a simulated wood-grained panel, finished in bright trim as well as door trim panels with wood-grain inserts and storage pockets.
The 1974 C10 pickup’s appearance is enhanced with chrome front and rear bumpers made of heavy-gauge steel. Also, the truck is fitted with drip moldings that collect and direct water flow from the roof, a lockable sliding rear window that increases ventilation while also providing an improved camper-to-cab communication - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Mines a 74 C20,custom deluxe and looks like the Spanish Gold was a really popular color,still has a 350 and Rochester 4 barrel which i rebuilt,mild cam,dual exhaust with crossover,motors from the 80-85 as dipstick is on opposite side,still has original distributor but i put the pertonix system in it,put a T400 that has the u-joint bolted to the back of it,use it to haul a camper most of the time, hubcaps are same as yours and rims are white, typical rust on front of hood, bottom of fenders and doors,rockers are solid with dents,dings,scratches and faded paint, windshield surprisingly is original and tint at top is brown,not blue, extension mirrors
Nice truck, I love old Chevy trucks.Take care at the baby.

Love the long bed. Truck is awesome

73-80 long bed or short both are super clean hard to beat those years. They have an older muscle truck look with all the trim etc

Man those seats are sick!!
Im very pleased with them. They sit nice and low and are very comfortable.

Those generation Chev & GMC fullsize pickups & SUVs were built from 1973 - 1991 except the half ton & three quarter ton regular cab pickups ended in 1987 & the one ton regular cab pickups ended in 1989.
My 77' has the fuel pump under the hood.😊
Love the truck I have an 84 long bed, love the square bodies
Thank you! Love the long beds!!!
Oh yeah!! Love that truck too! I like long beds
Keep them long!!!! :)
Very nice bud, I just finished restoring my 1981 Silverado long bed. It took me 4 years but it's worth it. I bought it from my buddy who had parked it in a field for 4 years.
Thank you!! Would love to see your Silverado!! 🏁🏁
@@gasratzcustoms Thanks. I'm not sure how to send a pic on here. I'd love for you to see it. I had to replace the bed, tailgate, doors and hood due to rust. I put a 2" cowl hood on it. So if you can assist me on how to send pics, I'd appreciate it

Good evening my stock wheels on my 77 C10 rusted and can’t be used. Where did you get your wheels and are those stock size are wider? Thank you.

Awesome truck, if you had it to do over would you change anything?

Bro the truck is nice...It's a work n progress, but as long as u like where it's going who cares.
Thanks man!!! Really appreciate the love!!!! Its all about that!!! If you like it you drive it!!! Respect!!!!
Did you also replace your hood hinges?
Did not, but I would highly recommend it.
What did you go with for exhaust?
Just simple Flowmasters
I love these wheels are these 15x7 steel wheels? Beautiful truck!
Yes they are!
⚡👏😁👍⚡
What's your rear set up?
C notch, leaf springs, Aldan Shocks with shock extenders.
@@gasratzcustoms Love the truck and stance! I have a long bed that I am currently working on and have a few questions. Do you have drop spindles as well? Are you running a rear axle flip? Also, which shock extenders work with the Aldan rear shocks? Thanks man, really appreciate the videos!
Yes i do have drop spindles on the front. And yes a rear axle c notch. We found some standard shock extenders on sumit and they work amazing.
did you guys front clip swap or something? that recessed grill should be only from 1973....
No. Its a 74.
1973 and 74 had the same grille
Keep those hinges oiled or the hood wont b nice one day 👍
Thank you!!!!
So your speedo doesn't work when it's clowdy... nice. Not like that 4.8 has much anyway though.
Damn good looking truck. Best looking squarebody grill in my opinion, love it on my 74 k10.
Side note, those tmi seats are icing on the cake. Fucking pricey tho geez
