WOW... I was selling Chevy’s back then and Laserdisc was cutting edge technology in those days. What memories!! Thanks for the up load. 👍🏻

My dad still has his 1981 GMC HIGH SIERRA 1/2 TON he bought it Brand New right off the show room turntable..it's got 200,000 original miles with the 305 V8 4 barrel Rochester ..

I love these old truck vids

Still better looking than any of today’s trucks makes and models. A simple square box. Trucks aren’t supposed to be aerodynamic or fuel efficient.

Love these old commercials! Thanks for the video!

It’s strange seeing a nice shiny new square body.

the best trucks ever made period

Thanks for uploading and preserving the vids:)

To be a man in the early 80's you had to have a moustache!

I like these videos, Im on my second S-10 4x4 Blazer, #1 had 2.8 4 speed 4x4. #2 has 4.3 5 speed and 4x4, it's my daily driver now.

That log pull was insane. Guess it had a custom geared rear end like 8.5 to 1 ratio or something. Those old trucks sure do look good now days. Compared to the current tin can show queen versions of trucks. They need to show trucks doing this kind of thing in New adds. And the Chevy 3+3 cabs are holy grail trucks now.

When I worked for the US Forest Circus, we used the S10. Big piece of crap, didn’t make one season before it died. The regular cab 1/2 ton 4x4 with the six cylinder and 4 speed held up ok. Just really slow. The one ton dump truck we had, with the 350 v8 and 4 speed was a beast. You couldn’t kill it. And we tried 😎.

Back when men were men and trucks were built for work and hauling stuff.

The beginning made me realize how much I miss my little s10. It was a 91’ my dad gave to me in 06 when I turned 16 after working my ass in his and others hay fields. I drove that thing till the rear end went out. To Craigslist!

Ah yes, when trucks were actually made for work. These were made of steel instead of recycled soda cans.

Friend of mine in Barton county had an 84. 305 with a 350C transmission. Got about 14.5 mpg with him driving (he drove harder than I do) between Golden City and Carthage. Gas was a buck a gallon. He did something stupid and traded it for a little Chrysler k car station wagon. Never did run right. Lost thousands in the trade. Gone a long time but not forgotten. I guess I liked the truck and didn't care much for the car. It's whatever, I guess.

That yellow k10 step side was used in the 1983 commercial.

I found the original build sheet for my late 70s model truck under the flooring on the passenger side floorboard. One of the coolest things that it shows is the address of the dealership the truck went to when it left the factory :)

Did you notice the wrecker was pulling a Ford out ? LOL

The old crew cab looked different then my dad's 79'!

6.2/TH400 is definitely the way to go

My 2004 S10 4×4 Sport Truck was the Last Production Year..I've had many offers for it including the GM Stealerships...

My parents got me a 1984 chevy scottsdale today a few weeks before my birthday

Me gusta la camioneta

That’s some beautiful acting

Like my newer F-150. but would love an old square body

Too bad few people selected the manual transmissions. They were bullet proof, specially the 4spd granny gear.

galvanized steel... too bad today's trucks are made with the same plastic that is used in nerf guns

My 2013 Ford F150 drives like that truck in the first commercial since 45k miles on paved roads.

These old truck commercials look like modern erectile dysfunction commercials.

The k5 didn't get enough commercials. On KZfaq anyway

😵I want my Tonka trucks back and I can go play in the backyard😵

even the toy cars and trucks wer nice I remember the k5 metal toy truck and vans and Dodge vans metal u open the the back door I remember a having a k5 metal truck and the dodge van with the nice interior a couple others they wer nice cars and trucks I bought them at the thrift stores in the early 90s 😀haha good times

Love this cats voice. He’s really workn that lung cancer!!!!

I want a truck like this with a manual

I’m restoring an 84 c10 and it’s paint still looks stock

These years of trucks (73-87 C/Ks) were by far the best looking, and toughest built GM pickups. The only trucks, IMO that could take more pure, hardcore, ass kicking abuse were the 73-79 fords. The 83-88 Ranger however, was far superior to the 82-93 S10.

The good ole days

I'm looking at a 1980 stepside 8' bed 4x4. Yellow over white, upper trim level and 1-owner so driven sparingly and garage kept. Old man just wants it gone. Its an automatic, but that's okay with me. I'm a manual transmission in a muscle car kind of girl anyways.

I liked the Chevrolet cab better than the Ford cab in at least the 80s. I remember sales literature about the 80s Ford's being "fully dressed" inside compared to the 70s trucks. But it was so cheap and chintzy. Vinyl over plastic with a little metal. About the same quality as the second generation Dodge interior and that's not saying much. Chevrolet cabs were definitely the Cadillac.

👍

I want a black 84 K10 Silverado

Only difference between 83 and 84 is wiper control and dimmer switch moved to steering column also a cheesy chevy hood ornament still nice looking trucks

Do you have or can you get the same video for GMC

Does anyone know who the guy is hosting the videos for Chevy? Wonder if he’s still kicking around, lol!

Where are 3 and 5?

Great ass shots

What happened to the video you had on your channel demonstrating the New designed 1980 trucks from Ford Chevy C10 F150 Blazer and Bronco?.

2:29 That dually pick-up has dual exhaust. Was that factory made?

Ahh great at 7:36 towing a Ford Truck.

Way too many electronics and emissions crap now on current overpriced trucks

im surprised that even new super duty trucks (of all brands) can barly haul more than trucks from the 80s, like on average like 2000 pounds more. you might think 2000 pounds is alot but when you look at the time frame its been over 30 years, youd think there would be more improvement.

This s10 has more height and ground clearance then some new lifted trucks lol

👍🏻

3:55 LOL he thought he was fast. He tried flooring it and he gripped the steering wheel and braced and .... 0-10mph in 6 seconds wow🤩

American steel.

They were always too small!

i didn't like the s-10 i had. it had the 2.5 liter self burning 4 cylinder which was bad designing on chevy's part if you are going to use cheap materials the intake manifold is not the place for it.the intake would crack on cylinders 2 and 3 and would let fuel pour on to the hot engine so it could flair up and take the the truck with it if you didn't get the fire put out fast.i liked the s-10's Japanese version the isuzu p'up and the ford ranger better.but chevy did well with the c/k series pickups and vans.i had a 87 p'up with a 2.3 liter gas a 82 p'up with a 2.2 liter diesel which was in the s-10 trucks and my 87 ford ranger with a 2.3 liter gas engine.i currently drive a ford f250 with a 7.3 liter diesel and have plans on buying a 84 c10 pickup with a inline 6.

to bad ford made better engines and diff's i'm still thinking about buying a 77 c20 beast truck that's local.

Those 6.2 were not a good engine

Of all the embellishments in truck advertising the 1/2 ton at the construction site is the silliest to me. Why buy real construction site equipment then? It’s way more expensive than a pickup. Oh yeah, coz it’s built to move way more all day every day. Not to move your friend’s couch now and again. LoL When I think about the stuff I do on a daily basis then picture doing it with a civilian pickup truck. Barely a few guys even drive a truck to work. More of us drive a corolla to work then get onto actual big boy machines and get the job done.

Nothing makes me want to puke like an advertisment.

7:36 typical ford

当時物　パンティー

I had to laugh out loud when they explained the rustproofing methods. Seems to me that they used wishes and glitter to rustproof these trucks. Plus, nothing showed rust faster than that margarine yellow paint on that stepside.
