  • 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.

      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.

    My dad worked on the truck line at the GM in Fremont CA plant back then and I worked at the Toyota / GM plant that it became in the 90's. My dad always said to check behind the door panels for bottles and cans or other possibly illegal things. Those were crazy days ! At that plant they would have hookers in vans in the parking lot !

    Just retired from restoring cars after 37 years. Happy to just go back to my hobby of practicing law. After all that time, and dealing with so hundreds of snake oil salesman like this guy, I've heard "ultra rare" enough to last me another 50 years.

      yes but - tell me where, in Scotland, you drive 2000 miles with the curvature of the earth as your only sight? in some places, sure - it's a blight... out here.... there nothing followed by endless nothing. It's a place where the put curves in the interstate highways to keep people awake while driving... Europe has nothing like it.

    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!

    The dually popping back through the carby, seems more like timing is out or a stuck or bent valve than 'bad gas'

      My first thought was that the distributor timing is retarded. BBC valves seem somewhat prone to getting bound in the guides, if allowed to languish too long. The alarming sound to me was the snap coming around at regular intervals. Makes me think broken spring.

    worked at socal GM dealer as a parts man in college....75 was the last year if the full removable top in the blazer/jimmy line..78 on was a half top similar to the full size ford broncos of the era ....also GMC was a separate GM product line not heavier duty than a Chevy .....grilles and styling cues were different than a Chevy built on the same line..GVW,engine and drive-line options were the same ..the old joke was GMCs were built with lock washers where the Chevys were not
