Impressive ...a young lad who understands why we love driving old school squares or any old school vehicle. Your totally right about being fully engaged with the driving experience. Unlike all the new stuff which equates to riding a couch while watching the tube........

A 350 small block Chevy from the 1980's makes about 210 to 230 horsepower, but gobs of torque, and they run forever.

I had a 3/4 ton like that, it was a beast, bought it new, wish I never got rid of it.

Oh damn I didn’t realize how small this channel was until I looked at the comments. Keep it going and you could absolutely make a career out of this.

Great review and show 😊 ! Old is Gold , that's the reason i own a 81 Oldsmobile Delta 88 sedan. These old cars and trucks are so much easier to repair and the ride is comfortable .

I had a 1976 in highschool and just bought a 1980 K20. I love an old square body.

Between my brother and I, we owned 25 of these things. You can't kill 'em and parts are infinitely available, both in junkyards and online. Nothing friendly about it? They have better attitudes than some horses and last longer. I've taken these things everywhere. There's no reason you should ever have to stop driving it. Also, they're perfect for LS swaps.

Nice vid! 👍 Love those old trucks. My first truck was a 1969 F250 4x4, my 1 and only brand new vehicle was a 1989 F250 4x4. I kept that truck for 27 years. My current truck is a 1992 dodge W250. All my trucks have been daily drivers, as well as being used as trucks. IE hauling wood, building materials, furniture, rocks, dirt, sand, motorcycles, slide in campers. None were ever pampered. It is the main reason why I won't buy a new or even newer truck. I can't justify spending tens of thousands of dollars on something that will get scratched, dented, lights busted, etc. On a regular basis. I have under $5,000.00 invested into this old truck of mine. And that includes $3,000.00 for an engine I just built for it that will be going in it this spring. Loved the video! Nice to see the appreciation you have for the older trucks. 👍😁

Here in Michigan. You can find a unicorn easier than that truck.

A new crate engine sounds good

Loving the channel! Keep up the good work!

What sucks about living up in the Northeast as soon as you get a truck like You have your realize I'm only going to drive at 6 months out of the year lol You won't dare drive beautiful old trucks in the winter because you'll get yelled at by everyone for getting salt on it.

Really cool video, look forward to more 👍👍 Oh yeah, I just subscribed. Hello from Canada :)

1984 was the first year for the windshield wiper & high beam low beam switches on the steering column. It was also the first year for black windshield wiper arms & blades too. Those generation Chev & GMC fullsize pickups & SUVs were produced from 1973 - 1991 except in 1987, the half ton & three quarter ton regular cab pickups were done, & in 1989, the one ton regular cab pickups were also done. Like the one ton regular cab pickups, the medium duty models which are those bigger size trucks with the same cab design were also produced from 1973 - 1989.

I would daily drive that truck in a heart beat, and I have had several with which I did just that.

Take that 350 motor out of there and install a small Journal 327 you will double your fuel mileage with only a slight loss of power

Enjoyed the video, I subscribed.

Nice!

Comment for the algo. Fun video, man!

Please do the 1998 GMC seirra extended cab 2 and 4 wheel drive, vortec V-8 5.0 and 5.7 liter. Good info on this truck, I had one.

I got 17 MPG on mine with a 350 . 8 mpg on my 454

wow

Take care of that truck, and if your not in the rust belt, it'll last you for a long long time, and pre '87s hardly had any sophisticated electronics on board, so no electric fuel pump in the tank, basic mechaical one that seems to work forever mounted on the engine Serviceable front wheel bearings and things like that make it an awesome truck thats easy to do basic maintenance on

Well kid, you must be used to imports. We hate rack and pinion. Too twitchy. We want that on-center play. Do you think you could drive my 73? It has manual steering and manual brakes.

Dude, trucks like that you don’t drive you ask them what to do…..

I own one of these 😂😂

thats when Chevy still made a truck

You say that's a 4 speed automatic?

You could almost do a review and just simply say one sentence. The best thing about old trucks is they don't have the USELESS GARBAGE in new trucks. 😊

I think you accidently grabbed your sisters watch. lol
