- It’s a fact that classic Chevy pickups are catching a lot of attention these days. Not only do these trucks look good, but they have multiple reasons why they are so popular. This would include the fact they can with solid and even powerful engines. Also, the chassis were setup better and can be easily modified for better results.
On top of that there are many of them out there and they can be built on more of a budget when compared to muscle cars of the same era. There’s also a number of aftermarket products to help you make a show winning ride out of these old trucks. Watch along as we further explain why these trucks are on the rise!

Awesome ,my friend is selling me 76 step side can’t wait ,great tips for parts ,nice job on your video 😊
@@guylandis6723 nice, I got a 1991 gmc stepside with full roller motor, and I got a 5.3 on stand for sale
Thinking to put a ''not for sale'' sign in the window of my 68 shorty, every time we go out I get people asking. It is nice that it makes other people want to get into one 👍

We do all have a connection to these trucks. My Grandfather had a red 1981 C10 Scottsdale fleetside and I have very fond memories of the times we had. What a truck!
For me these trucks just work. I hauled over 25,000 lbs of topsoil past two weeks in my 1983 long bed and the bed height is absolutely perfect for unloading anything. 40 year old 305 engine and 3 speed transmission still working fine, as is the original AM/FM radio/cassette player lol. Paid $1100 about 8 years ago hoping the truck would last a single summer of home remodeling. Going to keep her and give her some repairs and upgrades.
I have an 83 longbed 305 too. I have a 4 speed though 😏
The square body caught my eye with their perfect balance of body style. Ford's were too square. Dodge was too round.
You trippin if you think suburbans aint caught on yet... depending on the year especially... a 79 just sold for 101,000
I have a '87 Chevy R10. My son and I took the 6cyl out and are replacing it with a 350 V8 we built up from a 305. 700r4 trans, deleted the EFI and went back to 4 barrel carburetor, added MSD. All lights are LED, even the square headlights. She's gonna be sweet!
You are right. My uncle had a black 1985 C10 SWB. My dream truck now!
"Build it and they will come" so true, they built it!
Just got my Grandpa's old 78 C10 Big10, the original heavy half. Always loved the truck and so excited to start adding some updates and driving it more.
wow. wanted to learn more about c10's. This video was just what I needed!
So many were built, and lasted (my babe has 450,000 miles +), that most parts are easy and relatively cheap to buy.
I have a 1979 c10, and I always get so many looks when I drive it!
Well explained, good dialogue and appropriate images.
Great video! I fixed all the electrical on my 78 C10. Just had all the braking system replaced as well. Calipers, rotors, discs, drums, shoes, and lines. This week it’s going in to get a frame support welded by the steering box. Hopefully next month I’ll be able to get all the suspension replaced and next on the list it’s getting the engine replaced with a 350. Money dictates how fast the project goes, but It is exciting getting it up to speed. I’m hoping that by the end of the year it’ll get a paint job. Still thinking what color. 🤙🏻
I own a 1976 C 10 long bed used to have the 250 straight 6 in it and I did the 350 swap built cam headers the whole package. Ford 9 in 411 posi 15 in Mickey Thompson old school Cragar rims Paint is Black and interior black and a roll cage all new chrome replated. Custom Electronic Gauges and a sound system to boot. I have been offered over 80K and I still say NO! I love this truck and I will take it to my grave!
best looking trucks ever produced
Love my Square '86 C10 6L/4L80E full coil over QA1/TCI kit ride like a charm :)👌
C10s are awesome, was looking at buying a ford bronco 84/86 model then the c10 some how made it into the search, have put the 84/86 lower on my list, C10s are super cool, we don't see them here in Australia.
Will be seeing some when businesses get started and will roll on some charity cruises etc maybe a car show or two!
Also like the C20s have a descent amount of research to do for my daily driver and a few others for uses in other areas, maybe a few employees might be cruising somewhere in one one day !
Dreams can come true, set goals !! start with a few small ones like sourcing parts of the car or a whole car if you want to just get it done!
See it as a finished, ready to drive complete car in your mind, so you know what you gotta do!
Just bought mine about 6 months ago love it
When I came home from my last deployment in 2009 I quickly acquired 3 73-87 Chevy trucks
5/7 drop one air ride and one dually I started to work on but sold
$1500 for one, $3200 the other, $3500 for the dually
Sold for 8k, 12k, and 15k. Thought I made out good. Shoulda held on a few more years
YEAH!!!! 7:10 is right in the spot!!! That's the cool thing!!!!
Honestly, I don't think they're hard to find at all. You just have to pay for a decent one.
You for got to mention the sqaure body had a recall on the placement of the gas tank on the side, in the early 90s they offered a cage for the gas tank or they would give you money for towards a new truck?.
I just bought a 1984 K20. It has a Dana 60 in the front and a 14 bolt in the rear with double lockers. I bought it for $9,000. I'll probably put another 9000 into it. I love this truck. I wanted one in the '90s and I own one now. I rock. I can fix it myself. It doesn't have any stupid computers. Some really simple mechanical work and the body is almost perfect. I just need suspension and probably reegear it and a little bit of interior work
Great vid!I have a 62 c10 my grandfather bought brand new in 1962 it’s got a big lock rat in it now.
love my 72!
I bought a1980 GMC Street Coupe stepside back in August 1980 still have it original with only 35 k miles on it.
Im assuming she's not for sale. Sounds like a beauty
Which brand of fenders and bedsides are good? Ive heard dynacorn AMD and key part's. But i have no experience with either of them
I have a 1985 Silverodo all original daily driver
It’s a no brained we love trucks because they HAULLLLLLLLLL!!!!!👍☮️
And look good while doing it!
@@fuelishmedia6717 yes they do! 👍☮️
Is it possible to take a 2022 Silverado work truck and make it look like a bagged c10?
Just bought my first C10. Already thinking of a second 😂
A 67 or a 78 ?
@@jimthomas1989 a 61 step side.
@@jimstortz9491 , those are very cool looking too , I had a 64 many years ago
The C/K designation was also used on the 88-98 trucks as well. BTW, your GMC is sweet. 👍🏻
True!
love my '65 c10
i have a 85 k10 scotts dale with a modded 4bbl 350 and 4 speed Manuel
Because they're a hell of alot cheaper to lower stance than say a twin I-beam Ford.
can somebody tell me why the fords from that era are basically invisible? I like the early 80's models but hardly anyone makes a big deal out of them
Hi Kevin, I'm tony I Have a chevy colorado
Any tips on bagging my wheels?
Thank's,
Tony
I don't think anyone has a kit for these trucks and have only seen a handful bagged. This would probably require fabrication. They do look good slammed though!
Price just went up 20g
I have a 74 454/400 superv20 for sale 10g runs and drives !TX
Prices are out of control, pushing $80k for a lot of them. I just want a simple truck that runs without all the destructive emissions systems and top end ticking time bombs.
C-10's aren't popular, C-10, K-10, C-20, K-20, C-30 and the K-30 are popular, because there are so many still out there still running, the interchangeability on them make them simple to fix or modify, you can swap your 230 I6 out for a 454 big block V8 in a weekend. Plus, pick a year, it just looks so much better than an alternative manufacturer
C10s are popular. As goes for any vintage Chevrolet truck.
Because the are chevys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and parts are easy to get new or nos old ,, and easy to work on ?
I have a 1978 chevy BIG10 longbed.
It's a half ton with 3/4 ton suspension.
I'd rather have 1962 - 1966.
Can a c10 converted to a k10??
It takes a lot , the entire front end will need removed ,
I have a 77 short bed , Dana 44 front end and 12 bolt rear end , 4 speed standard trans and transfer case ,6 Lug with 33 mud tires , had a 350 small block , has a 250 straight 6 cylinder now ,
Any cab from 73 to 87 will fit on it .
And it would be much easier than all the Welding you would have to do to make it yours a K-10
I also have a 68 K-20 which is a 3/4 Ton 4X4 and it has a standard 4 speed trans and Rockwell transfer case and everything from 67 to 72 cab will fit on it , but it already has a 68 cab , fenders and small block 307
The 307 is a 327 crank in a 283 block
They weren't popular when the original C10 pick up came out they were designed basically work truck like Ford and dodge but when gas prices were having serious economy problem in the 70s big car manufacturers stop making them for a while and focus on compact models when China Japan were made compact models more efficient and economy profit by the Early 80s most car manufacturers went back to make truck it took movie like Mr majestic in early 70s and like the Fall guy to inspire men again so most of the 60 and 70 models C10 were in junkyard or collect rust in someone barn or in a empty cornfield in America and Canada some people like hot wheels and match box and truck magazine start drawing customized Ford Chevy and dodge even America motor company Studebaker pick up truck and international harvester even Hispanic was the first to customize low rider truck and eventually went as far the first monster truck by bill Campbell or whatever he last name was back in 1975 and 1976 and back in the 70 even pick up truck with camper on it or shell on the back came to be the bronco blazer dodge version I think was wagoner something else basically all truck came from the floor mats old wagon in the 1800 and 1900 horse and buggy start design pick up truck really truck be around for 100; years so C10; now trying to make a comeback but with electric cars they been around to and telsa wasn't first invented the electric cars it was Honda earlier development 1974 hit America soil 1976 and again early 80s before Tesla you might see them around today anyway c 10 are getting recognized again because people just remember them jus a truck made for to work same goes for their little bro the el Camino and the rancho made for women who wants to drive trucks but easy way to go to the supermarket and don't have to climb up in the back lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
87s are R10s not C10s.😉
1980 c-10 /1992 454 for sale long bed
I just inherited a 71 c10 will never sale it!
Because they all have a classic, timeless, styling design that resonates with multiple age groups. There still pretty much attainable dollar wise to people. The aftermarket parts availability is almost endless, and frankly, there the best-looking trucks that has ever rolled off the assembly line, fact. Oh, and they are Chevrolets, after all. 😏😏😁😁👊👊🤙🤙👍👍✌️✌️
They are THE LAST of the REAL trucks, thats why. This is it, after this they are all plastic.
That’s silly. The OBS trucks were all galvanized steel until 1998. The NBS trucks were steel too. In fact, you can’t find one that isn’t full of rust.
@BearGrils55 of course the frames and body are steel, I'm speaking to plastic interior, plastic bumpers, airbags, and full of plastic under the hoods, all run by complex computers
@@mblake0420 squarebody interiors are all plastic too. Still love my '82 but they are definitely built cheaper than previous gens
87 are consider R not c

Mexicans made them popular!!
Shame to ruin these trucks by doin all this goofy shit to them, keep'm Original as possible
Because there's a lot of Mexicans in USA now due to open border.😂
I am debating on my 77 c10 longbed to have it lifted or lowered. I do like being able to go over curbs and on dird roads. But i also like the look of it lowered on 20"s😢🥹
Do a 67-72 ford F100 version of this video
Could be a possibility. I'd love to give Ford guys some love!
@@fuelishmedia6717 plz bro us ford guys are so neglected
