his 76 Chevy Pickup is part of the Chevy C/K line of trucks. It is part of the third generation of these trucks started in 1960. The C stands for 2 wheels drive and the K for 4 wheel drive. This 3rd gen. line was a complete redesign of earlier C/K trucks and was referred to by enthusiasts as the “Square Body”.
The redesign was noteworthy in 2 important areas, aerodynamics and safety improvements. The new body shape was more “rounded” and featured a raked back windshield. The safety improvements included a collapsible steering column and a combined lap + shoulder seat belts. The truck was offer with choice of bed styles, “Fleetside” or “Stepside”. This model features the classic “Stepside” fender design.

Molded in white and clear with chrome plated parts and soft black tires.
The C/K was Chevrolet's full-size pickup truck line from October 1959 until 2002 in the United States, from 1964 to 2001 in Brazil, and from 1975 to 1982 in Chile. From 1959 to 1987, C/K was also the name of GMC's truck series; it switched to the name Sierra from 1988 to 1999 while sharing the C/K platform. The first Chevrolet pickup truck was introduced in 1924, though in-house designs did not appear until 1930. "C" indicated two-wheel drive and "K" indicated four-wheel drive. The aging C/K light-duty pickup truck was replaced with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra names in 1999 in the United States and Canada, and 2001 in Brazil; the Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD heavy-duty pickup trucks followed. Until this time, the names Silverado and Sierra were used to identify the trim level of the C/K trucks.
Third generation 1973-1987
An all-new clean sheet redesign of General Motors' Chevrolet and GMC brand C/K-Series pickups debuted in mid-1972 for the 1973 model year. Development of the new third-generation trucks began in 1968 with vehicle components undergoing simulated testing on computers before the first prototype pickups were even built for real world testing.[16] The redesign was revolutionary in appearance at the time, particularly the cab, departing from typical American pickup truck designs of the era. Aside from being near twins, the Chevrolet and GMC pickups looked like nothing else on the road.[17] The third-generation trucks are colloquially known as the "Square-body" or "Box-body" generation.[18][19][20][21] GM's official "Rounded-Line" moniker highlighted the pickup's rounded styling cues that were incorporated into the design. This included rounded windshield corners, rounded corners of the cab roof, rounded-corner doors which cut high into the cab roof eliminating roof height, slanted front fenders, and rounded pickup box corners which allowed for rounded wraparound taillamps, a first for GM pickups. The design also featured strong distinctive curved shoulderlines which rounded out below the beltline.[18] The curved shoulderline continued across the back tailgate on Chevrolet Fleetside and GMC Wideside models. However, the low slope of the hood and rectangular front end of the truck originated the "square/box-body" nickname, which was propagated through truck magazines and word of mouth.
GM's design engineers fashioned the "Rounded-line" exterior in an effort to help improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, using wind tunnel technology to help them sculpt the body.[22] Other design traits include sleek sculpted body work, an aerodynamic cab with steep windshield rake, and a unique available hidden radio antenna embedded into the windshield glass.[18][23][24]
There were two types of pickup boxes to choose from. The first type, called Fleetside by Chevrolet and Wideside by GMC, was a full width pickup box and featured a flared shoulderline to complement the cab in addition to rounded box corners and the new aforementioned rounded wraparound taillamps. Both steel and wood floors were available. The second type, called Stepside by Chevrolet and Fenderside by GMC, was a narrow width pickup box featuring steps and exposed fenders with standalone tail lamps. Initially, only wood floors were available.[25]
The wheelbase length was extended to 117.5 in (2,985 mm) for the short wheelbase pickups, and 131.5 in (3,340 mm) for the long wheelbase pickups. A new dual rear wheel option called "Big Dooley" was introduced on one-ton pickups, along with a new Crew Cab option on the 164.5 in (4,178 mm) wheelbase. An optional Elimipitch camper was made available for the Big Dooley.[26] Crew Cabs were available on C30 pickup and chassis cab, and K20 chassis cab models in two versions: a "3+3" which seated up to six occupants and "bonus cab" which deleted the rear seat and added rear lockable storage in its place.

![REVELL: 1970s GMC Pick Up With Snow Plow Plastic Model Kit 1:24 Scale [FULL BUILD]](/img/n.gif)
I built this kit in high school...then took it apart and redid it as a fully detailed, lowered, 2WD street machine. Was one of my models I was most proud of, I still have it somewhere.
That's pretty cool. What color did you pick for it?
THAT IS 1 BEAUTIFUL CHECY TRUCK.!!! AWESOME JOB!!
One of the best looking completed models. Thank you for sharing it!
I built one of these a long time ago and I thought the skid plate was a 5th wheel hitch so I drilled a hole in the middle and flipped it over and glued it into the bed…ive learned a lot today
Can't wait to BUILD MINE ..😍🥰🥰🥰
I used to get so frustrated building as a teenager probably cuz I had no patience , you make it look so easy Chris I'm jealous. I'm 53 now and ready to try again. Nice job on ALL your builds, particularly this one! Thank you for your wonderful tips!
Give it a shot and have fun! Thanks!
I love the workshop background you used on the slide show. The truck looks fantastic as always too.
Thanks man!
Cool build and you betcha these decals make this 40-year-old ex-Monogram kit pop!
Thanks Luc, I agree!
Great videos i really like just putting them on in the background while I build my kits and even get ideas for future builds
Cool, thanks!
These Pickups still look great today. The dash with the decals came out much better than I expected.....well done!
Thank you, I agree, love these trucks!
Great kit can't wait to get it I think 73 to 79 Chevy trucks are great when I was a kid my dad had a 77 great truck
Thanks, she's a beauty of a body style.
Same here I'm 42 years old now and when I was a kid in the late 1980's my dad had an orange and white 1976 Chevy pickup truck.. only thing it wasn't a stepside his was a long bed fleet side and it had the hubcaps instead of the rally mag wheels..i like that body style myself..1973-1987 and the 1988-1999 is my favorite body style too 😀😀👍👍
Great build. I’ve always liked the short step side beds like this.
Thanks Rich, me too!
This is SWEEEEET! Please, Chris, replace the garage backdrop with the AMT garage kits you've built! All those accessories and the figure kits will make any vehicle you make come alive! Don't get me wrong, the photo backdrop is really cool, but the diorama look will give any car or truck a level of realism that will inspire more guys to buy those kits! Keep 'em coming, brother, you totally ROCK!
I can't mix AMT models while promoting for Revell kits, and vice versa.
Thanks though and I get the idea you have and agree!
This is my first kit I’m working on and this is a fantastic video for help. I might screw a couple things up but that’s part of the learning process.
Thank you!!!
Usually I don't like that kind of brown but it looks absolutely perfect with on that truck.
Thanks Michael!
YES! I've been waiting to see this one...beautiful job again Chris love it!
Thanks for watching!
I love that Revell finally has put out a mostly stock version of the square body gm truck, if only they included a stock steering wheel like what is on AMT's 72 Blazer. Awesome build and I will need to get a can of that dark copper metallic!
She's a beauty!
Nice build and great commentary,Chris.
Thanks Ben!
Tell you why I love HPI review builds.... it's the ENTHUSIASM, I'm in New Zealand and I can 'feel' the joy !! - as ever a great presentation, and a kit I'll be getting to accompany my Revell C10. Thanks for the review guys.
All the best.
Thanks Ian!
i literally had this in my hand at my LHS today after work,
looks like a great kit
Go back and get it!
Really like the paint you chose for this one. Neat looking truck, good job.
Thank you Mary!
That’s a stunning truck when painted right...Great review and another must have kit!
Thanks a million Clifton!
Nice! Love the choice of colours you did and those decals look great!
Inspired by your way of building I actually did glue the back cab in before installing the interior (I built the snowplow and camo , same kit most parts) and it actually does fit if you slide it in from the front!
You know I built the Mud truck one and glued the back on and for the life of me could not remember how I got the interior in.
From the front, that's it! Good call!
Beautiful truck Chris. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot Charlie!
Love it!!! Super cool my friend, As always thanks a bunch for the great review and build! 👍
Thanks for watching man!
I Like It, thanks Again for Sharing Chris n God Bless All.
Thank you Gary!
Nice build ! Beautiful Chevy pickup !! 👍😊
Thanks Henrique!
Beautiful build! The color turned out amazing.
Thanks Greg!
Wow you nailed the decals man. I just finished my version yesterday and flubbed on one of the back hub decals. Also Mine don't line up as well as I'd like but it still looks great. I get all nervous because I don't want to screw up and I get all shaky handed. My first model in 25 years though and I'm very happy with it.
turned out real nice with that body color you used
Thank you Craig!
I love the way you get on with the build. I procrastinate way too much! Your condensed processes yield almost imperceptible results compared to those that take 10 times as long! Pleasure to watch.
Thanks Mark! Mine don't have the perfect paint and details like the long term builds, and I always miss something in the build, but I love getting them done and letting people see what's coming out!
Your really an inspiration to the model community the truck turned out excellent my friend.
Thanks a lot James!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks Michael!
My grandpa has a 78 sport Chevy it’s a little messy but it still runs great
You make everything so easy !! I had no idea building models was so easy!! If weren't for the apartment I live in I would build them more . I love all your technics
Thanks Dennis, modeling is a great hobby if we step back and let ourselves enjoy it. Don't sweat the small stuff, just have fun!
Wow, When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was real. Great job!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome truck. Awesome build. I love the enthusiasm in your voice!
Thanks Steve! Why do it if it's not fun, right?
@@hpiguy I'll ask myself that next time I get frustrated at the model I'm trying to assemble not going right!
You sir are a talented modeler indeed. T/Y very much.
Thanks!
The 1976 chevy stepside is a Good Looking model. The brown color was a great choice. It was a popular color in the 70s, especially woth G.M. products. As always keep up the great work.
I totally agree!
Another great build, keep up the great work
Thank you!

Thanks Chris!
The details on the steering wheel and dashboard are absolutely impeccable
Thanks Joseph!
That is a very cool model, great job as always
Thank you Kris!
Sweet build like always mann🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Skip!
Sweet. Looks like the same thing as the plow truck and big game. Chassis wise. I'm glad they got rid of that fuel injection intake. Definitely will be buying this. Thanks for the awesome video man.
Thanks Taylor!
Yeah they all share the same platform, as did the real ones of course.
I used the injection system on the Big Game one, not bad, looked the part for a modded truck.
Oh wow that kit looks awesome!
It is!
Beautiful work!
Gorgeous. Your videos always give me the 'wants'
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Nice looking truck!
You always do a great job, but you really knocked this one out of the park!!! That color looks so 70-ish!!
Thank you Derick!
I bought 2 from Model Roundup when they were released. I remember these trucks on the dealer lots. Tried my best to get my dad to buy one! I have always loved this 'sport' version and so thrilled Revell made a fantastic kit for all of us to enjoy! I have also researched this sport version in detail. They were available in 4 factory colors with matching color interiors. The windshield had stainless steel moulding vs the black only in the model build. The grill was a mix of a silver insert and outlined in chrome. Similar for the wheels. The trim rings and center caps being chrome and the wheel itself silver paint. I would call the one in the video a custom vs factory build. Just do a little search if you want a factory truck. I'm painting mine blue metallic...one of the factory colors. I will probably leave the 'orange peel' in the paint just the way Chevrolet did it! LOL I own a real '74 SWB C10. I will take the grill from the other kit and build a fleetside SWB of my truck. I may buy a few more copies of this one just to stash. The '73/'74 grilles were different vs later years and you can't find these 'sport' decals anywhere. Enjoyed the video and learned a few things to try on mine.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome looking build. 😊👍👍
Thanks Walter!
AWESOME job Chris. My aunt nettie had the 79' or 80' version painted just like this.......always wanted it when I was a kid .
Very cool, thanks man!
That decal job was only available in 76.
79 and 80 had their own Sport packages BUT they had multicoloured stripes.
That is SUPER TOUGH!!! Makes me miss my old Chevy Stepside! I ordered me one THANKS!!!
Thanks a lot!
Nice build and awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Best regards from Brazil!
Thanks Fabio!
A time when the U.S. built reliable solid trucks.Love the Led Zeppelin style song at the end of the video!
Thanks!
Wow, that really is a cool build, you made it look so easy to do. Keep up the great work and Rust In Peace.
Thanks again!
awesome build truck looks sweet to ride off in keep them coming
Thanks Gilbert!
beautiful work! my 2 favorite pieces would be the woodgrain deck in the bed and the realistic looking wheels. nice!
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year from hpiguys Workshop!
Thank you for another great built i love old chevy trucks 🤗
Thanks Marc!
Wow great build again.....I know where there's a real one and yours looks spot on to the real thing!
Thanks John, awesome!
I sure wish I had some of that future floor polish!
I have had a similar experience,with the Rust-Oleum colonial red paint that I used;tterplicate the box art.The Rust-Oleum colonial red paint had shrunk;and wrinkled,after applying several mist coats of the Rust-Oleum gloss clear;even after allowing the paint to dry for a week;when I painted the 90" sleeper cab of my GMC Astro 95 COE tractor,by AMT.I had to use paint stripper to strip the black preshade/basecoat;and the red top coat,and re-paint the sleeper cab.After letting the paint dry for a week I applied several coats of Pledge Floor Gloss (PFG) (Formerly Future Floor Polish,and Pledge Floor Care Multi-surface Finish);and then I took a 3/4 oz. Bottle of Testors gloss coat;and a paint brush,and hand brushed the 90" sleeper cab;in preparation of applying the Associated Truck Lines decals.Because Round 2's decals are temperamental;and are prone to disintegrating,I will be using Micro Scale's two part decal solvent system;Micro Sol,and Micro Set to get the decals to settle down into the contours;and recesses,of the sleeper cab.
Another classic build! I know where you were going as soon as you saide metallic blue 😉
Haha, Baker!!! Thanks!
I like those generation Chevrolet & GMC fullsize pickups. The real ones were produced from 1973 - 1991 except the half ton & three quarter ton plain cabs were finished in 1987 & the one ton plain cabs were finished in 1989.
I remember the old man’s stepside. He had a 4x4 194 in-line six and three on the tree. Pretty sure he kept having to adjust the shift mechanism so he added a floor shift. It was a little ratty but I liked it a lot. Wish I took pictures of it.
Opps it was a 292 Chevy inline six.
I remember building this back in the 1970s. I remember it being molded in black
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!
I just bought a Revell '41 Chevy Pickup and it seems like a really nice kit, if you want get one yourself! Great work by the way!
Thanks Connor!
Very nice build as always my friend!
Thanks Jim!
Looking forward to the Gatorade and Petty cars when they arrive!!!! :)
Awesome work mate ! Very nice
Thanks a lot Gary!
Looks nice, the details look great
Thanks!
Those wheels came out great!
Thanks, great molds!
Stunning build Chris, the color choices are spot on! It's 1976 all over again, I remember wanting to have this truck as my daily driver, but my income at the time would just not allow that!! Wonderful build!!!!
Thanks a lot Ron, I loved it!
I daily drive a 76 Sport in Orange
Truck truned out really nice love that color great job
Thank you!
Awesome build Chris.
Glad you like it!
Hpiguys: Beyond the great build, than you very much for sharing these videos, what a wonderful and positive way to approach this nice hobby!
I really appreciate that! This is all here to show everyone that modeling can once again be a FUN past time hobby without freaking out about rivets and perfect paint and getting every detail to match the real thing down to factory air in tires.
I hope people go out and get a kit and spend a weekend on it and enjoy what they made with their hands! If they want to make every detail perfect, that's cool too, but it's all about the FUN here.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a nice comment!
If you aren't on the hpiguys Workshop FB page, stop by and have fun!
I love how you build your models
Thanks for stopping by and sharing a nice word! I appreciate the fun loving viewers
Dude that’s amazing and the wood bed looks beautiful! You did a awesome job my friend!
Thank you again Tim!
hpiguys Workshop You’re welcome!
Awesome, job the decals are crazy good
one mistake that revell dose on these trucks is 2 gas tanks and one gas cap
Thanks Roger, those decals made the build!
@@hpiguy your welcome ,to bad you can't buy just decals from this and other kits ,besides e bay
I've gotten burned by Krylon Fusion before on a model--literally! It burned the plastic on a 1/16 scale Mustang I built once. I haven't used it on a model since. It might say it works on plastic, but it doesn't seem to work on _our_ plastic.
Your usual Rustoleum 2X stuff works fantastic though, so I've been sticking with that for solid colors. Love that it's $3 a can, too.
No idea why it reacted so bad to their own clear coat but lesson learned for sure.
If you clear coat within around ten minutes with the clear your golden, just don't put the clear on too heavy.hope this helps.😱
Beautiful build!
Thanks Philip!
Fantastic build chris my 81 Scottsdale was the same color
Thanks a lot Robert!
Very cool build !
Thanks Charles!
Another great job. I had a new green one like it.
Thank you Mark!
It looks amazing I am so buying this
Thanks, enjoy yours!
Ive been looking at buying this thing the last few months. Im not a model builder BUT I daily drive an original Orange 76 C10 Sport with the stripes.
Sports came in 4 colors.
Tangier Orange (aka pure orange, Omaha Orange)
Catalina blue metallic
Rosedale red (maroon)
Black
That's a great looking truck very nice
Thanks 👍
Great job as usual
Thanks again!
That would make a great Rockford Files Rocky truck!
True!
Nice. I remember Monogram had Monster trucks ..I think might be the same kit with different parts. Love those trucks. Thanks.
Monster truck kits used to be all over. I hope to see one or two reissued some day.
Cool truck Chris, I really dig the dark copper paint job! And I hear you are a connoisseur of fine cinema as well. "Big bear...big bear chase me!"
66 times! In inininininin the head!!!
Thanks!
I saw this kit yesterday at my local hobby shop. Might just have to get it!
Snatch it up!
@@hpiguy my Hobby Lobby carries the Revell truck series kits. Gonna use my 40% off coupon. I had a '76 Blazer in the color you used. It brought back good memories.
Nice build as usual mate
Thanks Dale!
Great video, nice truck
Thanks Ernest!
Mine arrived earlier, I put the engine together but I have to wait for my paint to be delivered. Lol this is my 3rd time watching your video, I'm really excited to start putting it together
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
@@hpiguy no problem! 😄
Woow, fantastic looking kit, and finish! So much awesomeness to look at, Im not sure where to start! Great job on this little beauty! You mentioned using Future floor polish at the 17 minute mark. I did a little research, and found out Future and Pledge are both going under a new name, 'Pledge floor care'- just in case any other builder was looking for it (like i was). Keep up the wonderful work, I can't tell you enough what an inspiration you've been to returning builders like me- I've been trying some of your tricks and techniques with EXCELLENT success! :)
Glad to hear it's helping you have fun making models again!
Nice work buddy!
Thanks Jeremy!
@@hpiguy Im ready to see your work on the Sprint Car! Ive built everyone that come out. You have schooled on a ton of things to make things much easier. Thanks for all you do.
