  • Man, is it nice to get out while we've been quarantined for what seems like FOR-E-VER (name that movie). I've had this lead on my desk for months now and I took the opportunity to fly to Billings, Montana and drive 3 hours into the middle of nowhere, with zero cell service and two incredible classic trucks.

    I enjoyed watching this video. It brought back memories when I was growing up in the 70's when my Dad bought a brand new 1978 Chevy K-10 Blazer. It was factory lifted with white rims and off-road tires. It had a light emerald green paint with a white paint in the middle. It was so nice but later traded it in for a new 1979 Chevy truck. I still wish he had kept the Blazer but he needed a work truck. He let me have his 1971 Chevy short bed pick up. Good memories of when life was more simple and cool 👌 trucks.

      The Crew Cab would make a great hauling ass truck Great for Barn Hunting with 454 4 speed, it would pull some good old cars back home. We had a 427 stock engine pushing 375hp go out of the factory with headers, a high rise intake with duel, Carter competion carbs in a 72 Chevy Vega. We had to go to a Full Frame and tube out. For the 12 bolt possy. It would have pulled a large trailer and 4 cars.

    Awesome find! It brings back so many memories. I was a young adult when it was made, my boss had one (diesel) and I used it for errands. They were fun to pull into Sonic with.

    There are old cars, and trucks everywhere in Montana. My dad, and I used to drive through some of the smaller towns, and check them out. I used to have a list of old cars/trucks we’d find. You’d be surprised with what’s sitting in, and behind old barns. I’ll never forget the mint, numbers matching, 64 Galaxy, and t-bird..

    I had a 73 Blazer with matching posies from the factory and an in-dash tach. I purchased it from the original owner. I sold it to a friend.
    I bought it back 2 years later.
    it had locking hubs, skid plates,
    Stock height with overload Springs.
    CB, extra five gallon gas can,
    Receiver hitch, a machete and a cast iron skillet. best four-wheel drive I have ever owned. Michelin all-terrain radials on it. The truck was set up by an old man. Basically stock.
    Special order. I had to sell it a second time. We were pregnant.

    The Blazer should have Amityville Police on the door.

      Ya Ministry of Forestry in Canada used nothing more then the Blazers, except it it was an extended one, but that might have been a GMC The old Jimmy's were very popular too, up here in the Great White North lol

    Dennis, great video. Great finds. Very respectful. I graduated from high school in '79 Cape Cod , MA.
    Been working with cars and trucks at some level ever since. Here in New England we started fighting rust on mid 70's trucks by mid 80's.
    It's almost inconceivable that there are still original vehicles in that condition anywhere.
    Again, thoroughly enjoyed your video. Keep up the great work.
    Stay healthy Bud

    Back when I lived in Azle, a friend of ours bought a dually just like that brand new, 454, 4 speed, GV splitter. It was a regular cab though.

      TornadoTJ I would like the regular cab even more than crew. These trucks are very long w/ crew and the full size bed.

    Grew up in the 70s....in the upper midwest. Spent tons of time riding around in these square body Chevy/GMCs as they were the primary family car for many people....K5 Blazers, Suburbans...C/K trucks. We had two C/K trucks ourselves...a '75 C10 Step Side which we bought as a used truck and a '77 Scottsdale K10 short box. I wouldn't mind getting another one and dropping an LS in it.
    Nice to see such well preserved trucks!
