Aaron, this is my favorite video of your's so far. Well done. I love the history on this.
Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Jack. I appreciate it
In Mexico they have the hunter edition squerbody C10 from 1982 - 1991, they had a unique paint skeam, color match bumpers, bumper guards, & grills, and a unique individual sport seat, and the 90 - 91 had the suburban grills with the long head lights, super rare and cool sport trucks.
They came in black, blue, white, red, and all of them with several stripes in the sides.
Very interesting
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!
That’s cool. I will have to look into that
My dad owned the chevrolet dealership in our small town back in the day. I worked on a 3/4 ton 2wd spirt of 76 pickup many times I was all white. Only badges and thr crazy interior
Awesome
Thanks for watching
That’s cool. Thank you for the info
I owned a Spirit of '76 in the early 80's. 2WD LWB truck. One of two cars I wish I had that I could get back. Nothing special; just a 350 with a 2-barrel. But it was awesome for a 16-year old. Sold it for $500 in 1983!
Yea I hear that. There’s always the one that got away
Wow! The one that got away
Thanks for watching!
My dad and his twin brother had one of each, my dad had the 454 BEAU JAMES and my uncle had the GENTLEMAN JIM also with the 454.My uncle bought his brand new. These trucks were very expensive compared to their counterpart on the same lot.My uncles truck sat at the dealership for while before he seen it and purchased it, he wasn't worried about the cost. I love both and they ran strong, you could hit passing gear at 90 mph this is a fact, I rode in both. The quadrajet was a cool soundtrack and worked perfectly when new. 😊
That’s cool. Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching!
Cool vid! I bought a 77 C15 last year to build. Didn't even realize it was a Royal Sierra til I got it home. Neat truck with a lot of factory options like ac, interior wood trim, full gauges with clock, and tilt wheel. It was also ordered as a Heavy Half with 6200 lbs gvw making it emissions exempt.
Cool. Best of luck on your build
Great find!
What color is your truck?
Thanks for watching!
@@jeffdillard5742 Well, somebody rattle canned it green. Factory color was beige with buckskin interior.
These are the trucks I grew up with..
Me too!
Thanks for watching!
I wish I could say the same thing
Worked at a GMC. Dealer in era and drove beau James and gentleman jim
That’s cool. Would have been awesome to be there for that
Great Video. A friend of mine’s Dad in mid-1980’s bought new a black GMC 2nd , LWB, WINCHESTER EDITION pick up w/ Winchester decal on lower portion of sides of truck. Came w/ a Winchester 30/30. Malvern,AR
Cool. That would have been a dealer option.
Awesome!
Thanks for watching
Man some of these trucks bring back some memories as I was a kid with my dad selling cars at a Chevrolet dealership. I have seen some of these on the showroom floor and even rode in a couple all the way till 1987 when he switched over to a Ford dealer. Great job on the info and I learned something new about these trucks we all love!
That’s cool. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Awesome

Thank you
I agree

Back in the early 80s in my area there was a 81 or 82 stepside in light metallic blue. It had stacks like a little red express, 1 ton style cab lights, running boards and "mini-18" decals on the rear fenders. The only other one I ever saw was on marketplace about 5 years ago. It was the same color. Might have been the same truck. I did find some info about a conversion company in Oklahoma City that converted them.
That sounds pretty cool. I will have to look it up
Very cool!
Thanks for watching!
Well my truck may not have been a special edition. But it definitely had all the right options. Two tone black and silver 76 swb silverado, 12 bolt, th400, 454, a/c, tilt, tach, 100mph spedo, am/fm/cb radio (with the factory delco mic) headliner... 12 inch front discs.... definitely a awesome truck.
Sure sounds like it was
Wow!
That’s awesome
Thanks for watching
Some interesting models for sure! I’ve never knew half of them existed!
It’s a lot. Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching!
Im a fan of the colors of the Beau James trucks. Along with the Amarillo GT and Cowboy Cadillac, Sport and Sport Coupe, DesertFox, SO76, Impact76, Sarge, RollinRebel, Foxy Sierra,but most of all the 79 Mule. The Mule woukd be my favorite.

Thanks for watching!
Lots of interesting info, GM made several different ones that I have never seen until now. I guess my favorite one in cluster of special trucks was the "Harmon Garage Special"! Enjoyed the video, take care.

Thanks for the advice the other day!
No problem

I have heard of an Oilmans edition black/gold truck built in Texas. In western canada, Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces in 1905, thus in 1980 there was a 75th anniversary black/gold truck offered in these two provinces. I have one of them. I am not sure who produced them, I believe it was dealer produced. There were no special interior packages, I’ve seen them in long box, short box, 2wd and 4wd. In my opinion they were ordered as a straight black truck with chrome side mouldings, a crème interior with various options. A gold belt line was painted on, with the rally wheels painted gold. If anyone has information on these truck I would absolutely love to hear from you.
As for the work and research you have done on these special edition trucks, it is amazing. And thank you very much.
Someone else mentioned the black/gold edition from Canada. I did some research and really wasn’t able to find anything
Awesome
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
1982 gmc Black Gold edition. I've seen them with gas and diesel engines. Very similar to a remake Gentleman Jim
Good deal. I will have to look it up
I’ll have to check that out!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, good job on the video, i learned alot about the squarebody trucks,
Thanks pops, see you soon
Thanks for watching and commenting
The rolling rebel is a lot like a Suburban my dad painted for my grandpa. My dad was the body work/painter for my grandpas shop. It was a new suburban he had my dad paint. Cant remember the exact year but it was somewhere between 81-91. I loved that burb, took many road trips to northern Wisconsin in it. It was several shades of gray panels and stripes. I wouldn’t doubt it if the Rolling Rebel was the inspiration.
That’s pretty cool. Sounds like an awesome suburban
@@HarmonGarage Yeah it was. He had a conversion van my dad did similar too. Love the content it’s definitely right up my alley. I’m frame off restoring a K5 Jimmy, ready for paint soon. Hopefully rolling topless by June-July.
That’s awesome, thanks for watching
Awesome!
Thanks for watching
That chalet.... ooohhhh... beautiful. Out of probably 50 or 60 k5s I have never owned one... yet
👍🏼
I would get a chalet or casa grande if I had the chance
I love your special edition video. 👍 on the Harmon Garage edition😊
lol. Thanks buddy. It was fun to make
Lol!
Me too!
Thanks for watching!
The 1974 GMC Indy 500 is my favorite.
I am pretty partial to that one as well
Thanks for watching!
lol you almost got me with that Harmon truck. I was like “that’s neat” then 🤦🏼♂️
lol. Just having a little fun
I know right!
Shaking my head in Dallas Texas
I like the 76 Olympic truck paint. Never seen that paint before
I agree!
Thanks for watching!
It’s actually a specific color to that truck
I was born and raised in Elkhart , Indiana and was 20 years old in 1977 . Not only have I never seen a Foxy Sierra , I never heard of Alpha Vehicles . That being said , a lot of the small RV companies around here closed up shop around '79-'81 .
That’s what I’ve heard. I almost wonder if the 2 pictures that I found were the only two they made
Thanks for watching and commenting
@@HarmonGarage that is a possibility . The only people that I knew who were in RV sales back then , have since passed on , as have a lot of the workers , so we will probably never know anything more .
That’s true. I’m sure remnants of the trucks may be somewhere but probably long gone
@@HarmonGarage if they were sold around here , they were rusted to hell and gone by 1990 . Damn salted roads . Even if taken care of , they were going bad by '82 .
This is awesome!
Thank you so much
I agree!
Thanks for watching
I had an 85 outdoorsman in 88.it was shorted 4x4 chrome stick. Got it used so no rifle.wish I keeled that one.
I get that. Would definitely be cool to have
Awesome
Thanks for watching
Over the past 20 years, I've run across a few of these. I found a Street Coupe truck for sale at a Super Chevy Sunday event. I also found a one owner 80 C10 Sport step side, sitting behind the owners business for at least 10+ years. EVERY panel needed to be replaced for rusting. Wood bed floor was rotten, etc. I spoke to owner over 2 years, and had made a good offer to buy. Would not sell, and then disappeared the next year. Just a few months ago, found an 80 Indy Hauler on Marketplace near me. It had many of the correct parts, but had gotten bumped in the front. I was about to take trailer over to buy it, but I wanted to see the SPID. It did not have one, so I passed. I've owned 7 trucks and Suburban's, all squarebody ! 😀
Awesome
Thanks for watching
Cool. To bad you haven’t been able to grasp that special one
There was a Houston Oilers Roughneck edition. It was the same as the Amarillo GT, except for the oiler blue color.
This was not the redone 1980 4x4 made by a fan.
That’s cool
Very cool
Thanks for watching!
The choo choo customs were awsome for their time
Yes they were
👍🏼
Awesome Video
Were there no Diesel options for the special edition trucks?
Not that I’m aware of
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I wish they had made a James Garner edition Sierra like the one that was featured in the TV show the Rockford files whitch in real life was his own personal truck
That would have been cool
That’d be cool
Thanks for watching and commenting
@@jeffdillard5742 you know in that show that truck was suppose to be “Rocky’s”truck his father played by Noah Beerey JR that was Garners personal Toy he liked GMCs the episode 13 in the second season Rockford steps out of a building with a woman he had been following 13 Girl in the bay city Boys club the front of a white GMC Astro Cabover can be seen at the corner of the building that was his production company’s truck Garners own Cherokee productions truck
Back when men were men and your truck came with a matching gun!!
lol!
Thanks for watching!
Ain’t that the truth
I like the 75 truck... was wondering where the stripe side came from
Thanks for watching!
Yes sir
Ive got a 79 Chevy c10. Big 10 didn’t hear hear it made the special edition list I was curious on the history of that one
Big 10 isn’t a special edition. It’s just a heavy half ton truck.
The Big 10 was a heavy half ton from 1975-1980. It was originally made just over the GVW limit to avoid catalytic converter requirements. However the laws changed in ‘79, so the 79-80 Big 10’s had the catalyst.
Not a “ special “ truck, but certainly cool and they built a lot of them!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
My parents bought a Big 10 new in 79. Two tone black and silver shortbed, with an oyster bucket seat interior. They might not be rare, but I've never seen another one like it.
They are definitely nice trucks
Hey Aaron why u not talk about the Big 10 chevy truck my friend
The big 10 is not a limited or special edition
The Big 10’s were a heavy 1/2 ton built from 1975-1980. They were very cool and popular am GM built and sold lots of them.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Aaron, Mark in Brownsville I have found a 1987 short bed C/10 near by don't know much about it yet but they are asking 6,500 hundred for it .what do you think??? P.S it looks really good just by driving past it.
It’s hard to say without seeing it
Hard to tell value without checking it out thoroughly!
Oh!
And thanks for watching!
Was the Big 10 anything special?? My uncle had one that I've wished a hundred times that I would have bought from him when he sold it!!
Not really. Big 10 was a pretty common package
Big 10 was a heavy 1/2 ton that was offered from 1975 through 1980. It was originally introduced to be just above the GVW requirements for a catalytic converter. The laws changed in 1979 that made the catalyst required in 1979-80 Big 10’s
I don't know if this was a official truck package I remember a friend of mine having a he said was a Cowboys dream I want to say it was 86 or 87 square body
Most likely a conversion truck
@@HarmonGarage yeah I didn't know for sure I never seen another one that was the only one I've ever seen thank you for your response keep up the great content
Anytime. Thank you and thanks for watching
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I know where a tan outdoors man long bed 4x4 square body is sitting. I was hoping you would go over the outdoors man
That’s new to me. I’ve never seen a tan one before
Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Very solid, original paint tan/ gold paint
Cool. I would like to see it
👍
👍🏼👍🏼
🤟
1985 Duke edition.
Never heard of it, and wasn’t able to find anything on it. Will have to keep digging
👍🏼
There getting harder to find and price are going up explicitly 87 models
Thanks for watching!
That is very true
87 is one year only tbi fuel injection
There were 88-91 Squarebody Blazers and Suburbans as well as crew cab 3/4 and 1 ton pickups that used the TBI engine as well.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
You are correct. But not a special edition
Dam everything in the 70's was tacky. 😂. Relax I'm a '77 model myself.
It was definitely a different taste than now that’s for sure.
Lol!
