What a perfect truck. Drive it for work, to church, to dinner, doesn't matter - it will fit in. I miss trucks like this. Thank you as always for taking us along and sharing your knowledge ~ Chuck. P.S. And you're so right about the parking lot. I got into a 15 minute conversation at a gas station in the middle of nowhere because he was driving a 72 GMC.
Had a '72 C-20 painted black/white/black from the factory. Bought it in '79 (at the tender age of 17) from the original owner that I knew. Guy never towed anything and I remember the GVWR was crazy high. Rode like a log wagon...and I loved it. Truck had 8K miles and looked like it came off the showroom. Crazy prices nowadays for these trucks.
When I was young we had a 1970 Suburban 350. Tough as nails.. It was later replaced with a 1980 Suburban. I had my licence by then. We went white water rafting once with two vehicles. All the gear and 5 or 6 people in it no problem. I think the later one was a 4 speed auto and we converted it to run on propane. Like driving a bus but tough as nails. BTW the second car was a VW Beetle. Which I learned to drive with. My father was 6ft 8in tall. Not a problem in the Suburban. But with the VW the seat set past the end of the track touching the rear seat. My sister had to drive with a pillow to reach the pedals.
Great video guys! I love to see these, there just down right awesome. You guys knock it out of the park on making great content for us out here. What I love is the fact you are keeping the build, the passion and the dream alive out here! God Bless You Guys and rOCK ON!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!
I gotta echo what the owner said...if you don't pay for something, you'll never appreciate it. All those guys that lowball you when you're trying to sell a car, they'll never be a good home for it.
my dad had one of these, he hated it . He said the 3 speed on the colum was geared wrong, probably better in a car. He traded it in for a 1ton International with 4 on the floor and a bigger V8, now that was a truck. The engine was size was somewhere between 370 and 390 cubic inch.
This video was not what I was hoping for. This is tripe. The owner "sitting in a booster seat" ....no, you are not from the correct generation and are clearly not from the country. Metro....

I feel like every C10 I've seen at shows or C&C are modded to the moon. Neat seeing this one.

Awsome video from a 69 c10 owner
The 69 350 had 255hp 350 ftlbs of torque before smog restrictions
it should still be that way

I miss my 67 C/10
What I wouldn't give to have trucks like this back, I want simplicity again😂
My dad owned a 72 step side. It is my iconic and ideal vehicle. I still drive Chevy trucks today. Someday I will get my own 72 to sit next to my 22.
Beautiful truck! BTW, in 1972 the top-of-the-line trim package was the Cheyenne Super.
Great job Mike. Thanks again!

So nice to see a stock original C10, pretty rare theses days, a credit to the owner. Great video Mike and thanks for sharing.
That one is really not stock.
Excellent series! Please keep them coming.
My favorite color and body style in those. Nice clip!
Please keep making these, i know they aren't getting views right now but they will! Consistancy will work.

Tastefully done!!
Love it❤️
Trucks the same age as me.
I have a factory 4 speed and no factory tach...I believe the tach was an option.
Benny's truck from Dazed and Confused.
I’m just trying to figure out how to restore my dads. It hasn’t run for about 10 years.

Had a 69 with the inline 6 plenty of power 3 on the tree
