Other than where there was some rust on the lower rear quarters it is all the original paint. I love these old C20s especially the Camper Specials.

Thank you!

Not for a while. Been recording and getting ready for a new release next year but time will tell if we'll hit the stage.

Thanks! Damian Bonazzoli's leads on this one are what really makes it great.

Yes! I don't think there is an official 3rd verse but for years at sci-fi conventions a band would add one. This is partially those lyrics and partially ours.

Thank you! This was a mainstay of our live performances for years and is still a favorite.

Thank you!

Thanks! When I was a kid it wasn't my grandfather who owned one, it was my dad. :) I still remember him talking about "The Silverado" model because it was a new thing then and most trucks were still bought to just work.

Also milder cams. The net horsepower instituted in 72 was said to be 33% lower by the automakers, but according to old shop manuals of mine, was in reality about 12% lower, so a 73 - 79 350 with a 2 barrel and 145 horsepower would probably produce about 180 Gross horses with optimal ignition timing and optimal carb jetting, and plugging the vacuum line to the EGR would greatly improve part-throttle performance, and the optimal timing and jetting would dramatically improve how it feels. The pre-emissions 2 barrel 350 made about 250 horsepower. Even if Net really was 33% lower, that would still leave a mid 70s 350 with about 200 horsepower vs 250 horsepower for the older ones.

Thank you! I've loved this style of music since I was a kid.

That's good info! 👍 the last few years of the square bodies were somewhat confusing. In 1991 both square and OBS 1 tons were built if I'm not mistaken.

@@Bonazzoliband yes both squares & OBSs were in production at the same time from 1988 through 1991. In 1987, the C/K series were dropped on all models & renamed R/V series to make a distinction between the squares & new upcoming OBSs for the 1988 model year because both of those body designs were gonna be in production at the same time which lasted up through 1991. They wanted to help people avoid confusion with the two different body designs. Not to forget 1987 was the first year for gasoline fuel injected motors. So from 1987 through 1991, all of the square models were R/V series. The square pickups are the third generation C/K series & the OBSs are the fourth generation C/K series. The one ton regular cab pickups were the only models with both of those body designs that were produced at the same time which was from 1988 through 1989. The OBS crew cab pickups & SUVs didn't come out until 1992 because the square ones were still in production. The square Suburbans are the seventh generation Suburbans & the square K5 Blazers & Jimmys are the second generation K5 Blazers & Jimmys.

@@kevinrichards3288 Thanks for the additional clarification.

@@Bonazzoliband & what's interesting is the half ton & three quarter ton regular cab square pickups that were sold down in Mexico were also in production up through 1991. At first I thought 1987 was the last year for them worldwide.

@@kevinrichards3288 Kind of like how when GM stopped selling the shorty 4x4s in 2017 they were still available if you lived in Mexico. I hear they're making a comeback though.

Thanks Andy! Over the next few weeks we'll be releasing a lot of our catalog to our youtube channel.

A C20 Camper Special should weigh in at about 5700 pounds. A K20 should be about 6200.

@@Bonazzoliband Ok thanks bro

It’s an older Line 6 Variax modeling guitar which was used extensively on the Torqued Supercharged Edition tracks.

Interesting. I did not know the 454 may not have been offered on the 4x4. I’ll need to look into that.

@@Bonazzoliband Since that last comment of mine, I have seen other vids of Chevy 4X4 pick-ups with factory 454s under their hoods.

I see a lot of street rods with 400 or bigger engines with turbo 350s. They get made when I tell them that you should use the turbo 400 with a 400 or larger engine, or use a manual transmission with a 11 inch or 12 inch clutch.

@@michaelbenardo5695 Yeah, you and me both, except, I haven't actually told them they should've gotten the TH400 and had any of them say anything to me about it. But it's like they'd rather avoid it and get either a TH350 or 700R4 and spend a bunch of extra money on top of that. They would tell me that's for building it up more. But then I met one guy who did get a big block powered '66 El Camino that had a 700R4 in it at the time, then swapped it out for a Turbo 400 because the TH400 holds the torque better than any of them. And that's what I would've done too, if it were mine. It does kind of amaze me how the 2 automatics that I've found to be the sturdiest ones (right out of the boxes) are the 2 least popular ones, the TH400 and the aluminum Powerglide (in my view 2nd only to the TH400). I've recently heard one argument that the TH400 is the hardest to fit under a pre-'65 Impala. But I've seen it done many years ago. Or they just maybe get a '63 Impala with a 327/250HP w/ Powerglide and decide to drop in a 400HP 409 just for show and bolt in a 350 tranny or 700R4 instead of a TH400 which I would've done because it's a 409 which was more of a torque monster than many have given it credit for over the last 30 years or so. And that also would've made the horsepower & tranny both 400. I recently got a Red '64 Impala SS. It had a tired 327/250 motor and a Powerglide. I swapped out the motor for a remanufactured 327 with 330 HP and am keeping the Powerglide indefinitely. I decided I'd rather put a 4-speed stick in it than change to a different automatic. And I've never been afraid to tell anyone that. I'm a Washington State native. And what I just shared in my reply as almost all I'd ever see in the Northwest, Washington and Oregon. We're both knowledgeable minorities.

Thank you sir! We recorded a new studio version of this for our 2019 release: ua-cam.com/video/oQLGgqqMBeI/v-deo.html

@@Bonazzoliband very awesome vid and song!

Invicta is just bad ass!

@@dirtygooch1723 Thank you! You may also like this guitar driven instrumental which was a staple of our live shows for years: ua-cam.com/video/5IsiEyQbdIs/v-deo.html
