a beautiful truck.. I would love to have that!!!
Absolutely sick truck! Beautiful work! 👌
@JBJ3714 Thank you, she is truely a beauty! They just don’t make ‘em like they use to!!!
❤that’s very nice 👍 I would love to have it 😊I wish it was mine 😊that is my dream ❤
@eddielambert4607 We appreciate the kind words. We truely loved how it turned out! And would have loved to keep it in the collection. But another family is enjoying it now, and that’s what matters. Get these ole gals out on the road!! Hope you find one for yourself soon enough! 👍🏼🙏🏼
I would love to own this beautiful truck
@hugh-iu7vo the new owner is loving it as much as we did! Can’t beat these classics! Thanks for watching
I had a 1977 gmc loved it.
@bradgriffiths2745
There ain’t nothing better than a truck from the 70s!! Hope you can get another 77 some day!
Beautiful. I'd do without the cowl induction hood though.
@jpearson311 Thank you. All a personal preference for sure. We do like the stock hood look. This truck in particular at beginning of build, planned to drive the ole big block around in the Arizona summer heat, and possibly tow, so wanted to make sure there was a chance to let that extra heat out and get some fresh air in the engine bay! Thanks for checking it out. More to come!
I'm a Chevy GMC man!!!👍
@musicof70scody13 We are very biased and run with Chevy/Gmc blood 🩸 in our veins! The good stuff!!! Thanks for watching and feel free to subscribe and keep track for future builds! Nothing but Chevy and gmc trucks a lot of 4x4s, you might even see an old impala or 2, but still Chevy! God bless 🙏🏼
what is that headliner in there? I am looking to do that with my 75
@@designcreationswoodworking963 that is the headliner available through LMC, purchased about 4 years ago, so could be a different brand by now, but this one worked great and fit the build! Let us know if anymore questions, happy building!! 🤟🏼
@@resurrekting I appreciate the help.
What is the blue color used on this truck. Looks great and looking to do something similar on my square body GMC.
Mica Blue Pearl
@@efrainromo3607 Is it? I was told Catalina Blue Metallic. Would love to know the exact color.
@marcusaurelius5576 don't know exact but looks like mine, that's the color I painted mine and looks as awesome as this one
Why was a NP205 transfer case not used?
@metalbill this truck actually came to us with an NP203(boat anchor) and we opted since having a 4L80E to go behind the big block, why not mate it with a pairable transfer case that we had in stock. So we went with the np208, very great setup for this show level of truck. If this baby was a wheeler we would have opted to find a np205 for it for sure! Definitely 205 the strongest t case from factory in our opinion. Thanks for asking, take care ✌🏼
Since I will be painting my square body GMC pretty much the same blue curious to know what is the white used here?
@marcusaurelius5576 it’s the perfect white for all these 2 tones on these 60s, 70s and 80s trucks. It’s GM 2185 code Linen White!
@@resurrekting Awesome. Thanks so much. Looking forward to the finished product.
Schwing and a miss as far as a factory fresh truck but still nice anyway. Needs lacquer paint and a flat hood plus all the factory intake stuff and less detailing on the underside.
@danfarris135 Thanks for noticing all the time we put into this truck. We do love ourselves a factory spec level build, but after decades of building these trucks back to factory fresh, we are doing some different level stuff to push the envelope on truck restoration. Stay tuned on the channel, we will be showing plenty of factory build and info as well! Thanks for watching!
1:10, is that an 8 track player, or some sort of Bluetooth dongle?
I bought a Scottsdale K 20 brand new in frost white 1978 .
Beautiful truck but the quality control was pretty lacking then.
Fremont California plant. Front window leaked as a sieve many runs in paint dash ends had rough edges came with out rear cab mounts lower bolts and rubber.
They had a lot of bare steel sandwiched in hood, fenders, cab lowers etc.
Should have been primer dipped in a zinc treatment. Water would migrate in and not dry.
Rust through in very short order.
They were selling like hot cakes so it was more profitable to cut corners.
@billbright1755 yes we’ve seen in person and always kind of chuckle when someone checks out a truck restored to this level and thinks it’s how it came from factory, which is totally untrue. We look at it as the gm factory was making these trucks as more of a tool, that they wanted them to perform work tasks, instead of worrying about the cosmetic beauty points of them back then. But it definitely could have been nice if they would have budgeted more money into completely coating the bodies in every square inch which is still hard to accomplish. But more of them would have been saveable at this day in age. Do you know what ever happened with your 78, is it still around?
Is this thing for sale right now??!
No it currently not for sale yet but once it goes live on bringatrailer.com we will inform everyone on here!
Учитесь . Это шедевр. Уаз ты согласен?
What size tires
@benjamingodinez4602 those tires are 285/75/15 BFGoodrich all terrain KO2. They come out to about 33” when mounted on those 16x10 rims. Hope that helps!
still for sale? I bid and noticed reserve wasn’t met.
@Jim Poepl, It has been sold to a new owner
🤤🤤🤤🤤
@jamiedalluge9472 there is a lot of drool wherever this truck goes! 😂🔥 They don’t makem like this anymore! Thanks for watching!
Whats not to like?
@hirthirthirt1693 we loved this truck, and so does the new owner. She is even better in person! Thanks for watching!
Says 350 in the ad but says 454 in the grill .
My 1978 Chevy Silverado says 350 and has a 350
@jimthomas1989 the 78 4x4 never came factory with a big block, that ad at the beginning is the original 78 commercial. Versus the other clips in the video are the custom truck we built to look fairly factory under the hood with the 454. Regardless either motor is great 👍🏼
Tires are one size too small and the dash and seat aren't my cup of tea but holy smokes that's a nice truck. Great build
@308scoutrfl thanks for the positive feedback!
The tires are the perfect size.
@@sirgeorgescott2995 we personally loved how these tires fit with the 16x10 steelies. And BFG raised white letter are the only tire to accompany all 60s-80s 2 tone trucks!!! Make sure to subscribe for future builds, and let us know what you think!
Interior is horrible
@toddbob55 the cool thing about building vehicles is being able to build it per one’s own preferences. The new owner of this truck loves this interior. But what we’ve always told people looking at our trucks, if they like the quality and paint color. The interior, the motor and the wheels are all fairly easily pieces of the build to swap out for one’s own favorites, so buy a quality restoration and swap those out if needed. Thanks for watching!
#whistlindiesel
@kemicalx17 we are hoping to build Cody one of our old 4x4 k5 Chevys at some point. We’ve been saving an extra duramax incase. Hopefully paint to match to Monstermax. @whistlindiesel is some of our favorite entertainment. If you know Cody, have him hit us up! Thanks for looking
It looks good minus the goofy hood scoop and hideous brown interior.
Lost interest with the big hole cut in the dash
Should have put it back to stock that cowl hood is ghey brah
The poo interior is a no. the stitching is even crooked.
Everything else is what it should be!
Cool driveline. Terrible taste with the interior.
I disagree. That interior hits! Waaay better than that old school crap you see in a typical restoration. I suppose it’s a bit of personal opinion too.
