    These were some of the best pick ups I've ever owned, I love to have the Short wheel base 78 model that I had years ago.

    I love this video. I'm restoring a 77 Sierra but for some reason I also just love this on its own. I've probably watched it 100 times over the year it's been up.

      Yeah Jason I like it to, I don't care what anyone says these were some damn good looking trucks, I've owned a few over the years, right now I'm restoring a 96 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer 4x4 five speed, good luck on your project Jason.

    Under hood jack! I forgot about that. Solid steel tailgate straps. Seems to explain the saddlebag tank as balancing load on all springs.

    Back when GMC meant work truck, not overpriced soccer mom SUVs and pick up trucks that cost as much as Cadillacs.

      Very true. Work trucks stopped getting made in 97 in my opinion.

    These GM trucks left Ford, IH, and Jeep so far behind. Dodge did ok. The Dodge and these were all light-years beyond the others.

    12:20 yea well you should have made those hood hinge plates where it bolts to the hood about 6 inches longer and SIX bolts for support, so that EVERY single 73-80 hood doesn’t fold/crack right at the hinge.
