Difference between the K10 and that raptor? The K10 will still run in 10 years
Justin Noker Can't kill a squarebody, I know from experience lol
Justin Noker
That ecoboost will be lucky to make it 5 years. That heard thins out quick.
Truth.
hochhaul i have heard of people getting over 200k so far and still going thats pretty good for a motor that has only been on for a few years
Sure, the same guys that swear their 6.0 powerstroke has pulled hard every mile since new for 500k miles without a single issue lol.
Damn, i love that truck. Going to be cool to see some comparisons from 1985 to current 4x4s.
RC Everyday .. he'll yeah bro!
RC Everyday yeah I always wanted an old K series, in my neighborhood some dude was selling a relatively rust free K30 dump truck (With the GMC badges) and he was Asking like $4K for it, he has another K30 dump truck (have to assume it's a '88 or '89 model as it has a 3500 badge instead of a K30 badge) that he uses as a plow truck for his driveway, I'll have to definitely keep an eye out if he ever sells it, just put a bed on there and I've got myself a stock K30
I love old square body anything but Chevys and GMCs look best imo
Fird
in 80s and into 90s the square chevys were the better looking truck for lowered and 4x4 fords were old man shit kids wanted GM stuff. Nobody wanted that whack I beam ford stuff lol
A company named Offroad Design is an offroad shop in Colorado specializing in these GM trucks, if you were to need any parts,advice. You can see them in Fourwheeler magazine. I'm in Louisiana and have ordered from them several times, great knowledgeable crew.
+Joshua Cummings thanks
Joshua Cummings Good to know. I live in Denver and have a '97 Chevy Tahoe. Thanks,
This video is oozing Americana from all over the place & I LOVE it!!! I love these old trucks. Simple, rugged, & tons of fun. Marshall seems like a cool dude. Great purchase guys!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Love these old trucks. We still have a Chevy with that two-key system 😁
Here in Maryland it would get tagged as a classic which means no emissions testing or even a inspection.
My dad has a 86 Scottsdale diesel 4by4 with a snow plow , i love my old GM's .
Now take it up in the mountains, before you start modifying it, so you'll have a baseline to see how well your mods worked.
i am very excited about this project! this is awesome, thanks for going with an older truck, since so many of us cannot afford to drop $40k+ on a new one. I look forward to seeing what you will do with BIG GREEN
My dad had an old square body K20, but it burnt down in a barn fire. Love square body Chevys
oh boy! what a truck. I'm moving to states next year and this is the truck I always wanted to own.
Greetings from Buena Vista CO. Old project trucks are great! I have a 1980 shortbed W150 Power Wagon (BamBam) 318 4 speed, headers, AFB carb, Edelbrock intake,3 inch lift,33 inch tires and best of all its green. No emissions up here. Looking forward to more episodes!
I just started work on my uncles old truck, it's a 1986 k20 and I am in love with it. They're beautiful machines, kinks and all. I've been trying to save up enough to do a lift on it, and I think I've just been sold on that 4 inch. Call mine ole red!
You guys re-lit the subscriber spark with this video. Way to keep it fresh and unpredictable. Awesome. I'm in for the long haul.
Great video, seeing the ins and outs of that dinosaur brings back a lot of fond memories!!
Now that is a TRUCK.My dad had a 1979 c10 454 and i have never forget that beast. Still my favorite truck.
my very first truck back in 98 was a 85 K5 silverado. -20... one step on the gas pedal and bump the key! Started every time. Meanwhile my F150 you have to crank and crank and crank and crank. Nice truck guys!!
Wow! This is going to be fun! Great find too! Remember them well!
This brings back memories. My dad had an 87, I believe it was, where they went to quad headlights and moved the signal in. Same layout though. RCLB, 4x4, 305 with the 3 speed with unsynchronised low. Before I had a license I used to drive that thing (way too hard) farm to farm. Talk about gutless though. Nice find guys. Cheers.
Here I am 5 years later watching this again.
It doesn't matter if it's Chevy, Ford, or Dodge these year trucks are the best. At 5K I think you got a good deal on that truck even for 5 years ago. Great video, great channel.
It's so cool, to mix up your videos, with fresh ideas! Looking forward to this project!
Congrats on the new truck! Looking forward to seeing it around on the channel....
@thefastlanetruck guys. That's beautiful! I learned how to drive in a 1990 Dodge Ramcharger 150. Not as old as the K10, but definitely understand the old-truck craving.
Love the idea of more vintage content. There are a million channels that make videos about new trucks and most of us are either not financially well off enough to purchase them or too wise to be the first to eat that depreciation. Those looking to get the most out of their dollar gravitate towards older models and there is in my opinion a vast market hole on youtube for quality content revolving around older stuff.
Good job guys, looking forward to videos on this old beast.
I had a 75 3/4 ton 4x4 chevy. I loved that truck, Nice lines and looked like a truck, rode like one too lol. Loved all the space under the hood without all the emissions BS. Its now retired up at the bush cabin.
That truck is better than the new stuff out now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
frankcastle7777 Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!
frankcastle7777 The old trucks trucks (especially old American Trucks) also had vent windows.
lets calm the fuck down
pudgylittlehamster go troll somewhere else
Creature comforts.
That's awesome! I really loved mine. Can't wait to see it's future
Bought my dad's 85 swb 4x4 when I was 15 and a 87 K5 4x4 when I was 19. Both were black, completely rust free and in excellent condition. The a/c still worked in both. Sold them both as package deal for $7000 when I was 23. 12 years after selling them (35 now) I think about them EVERYDAY and still have dreams about them both every once in awhile
so excited to see what u guys do to this truck and put it through
Congrats guys! Love the work y'all are doing
Awesome truck and a great addition to the TFL Fleet!
I Love this show! keeps getting better!!! great job guys!
Love those old trucks. Dad had a blue k20 custom deluxe that was a tank. Don't know what gears it had in it, but the harder you mashed on the gas, the more it would drag with it. I was the one behind the wheel the day it died. Just moving some bales around the barnyard as a 10 year old kid, she stalled out on me and it never ran again at our place. Knowing what I know now at 24, that thing would still be with us.
im really glad to see more older stuff on the channel now!
awesome - cant wait to see more videos on restoring the Big Green!
i learned how to drive in one of these! love it! superstoked for the upcoming episodes with this truck!!!
That thing is awesome! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
I like your"new" truck. I bet you will love mine, I drive a 1972 Chevy long bed sportvan camper. It's all original with the pop top with the 307 engine and a 350 auto. It is a 2 owner truck that I have owned for 16 years but it's only 2 wheel drive. I have used it for my family car and camper the whole time.
That thing is so awesome. I hope to get some 70's-80's F-250 or Chevy one day.
Hope you get some people to jump on board with sponsorship on this build. It will be fun to see this one progress.
Great video. I felt like I was buying it. Keep em coming
All Chevy trucks are Bad Ass!!!!! Love my Chevy TRUCKS!!!!!
Nice! Looking forward to more videos of this. I've always wanted to buy a K10 or K5 Blazer to make into a rough country/wheeling/hunting rig. The 2011 2500HD is great for towing, but it's a bit big and heavy for anything seriously technical. Does ranch work superbly, so I'm not getting rid of it. Just always thought it would be fun to have an older toy with a massive lift, lockers, etc.
Awesome can't wait to see the progress on this!
about as good as it gets right there!!! the heart beat of america!!!! thumbs up i cannot wait to see what you guys will do with it!! thanks for sharing
Those old gm trucks will last forever!
TheCody254 basically any truck from the 80s will last forever.
TheCody254 I got a 88 blazer with 400k miles with all original everything pretty much
Love, love, love it! One my fav Chevy pickup designs. And my parents had a 76 stepside in about the same color.
Good job Roman and team. Fun video
I miss my 86 K20 on 33s...350 ci SB an 350 turbo hydro automatic an np205 4.11:1 gears...
that body style is awesome and can't wait to see what u guys do with it
I'm working on a 73 K20 4x4 right now. No smog. 350 4 spd. Looking forward to following along with yours.
Worth every penny!
Great find guys!
Love the truck, it's the perfect off road beater. Can't wait to see you go up cliffhanger in it!
Yes!! This is so much better than "baja boxster"! 👍 well done! I look forward to giving you my views...
Thanks for the feedback.
Mr Truck is the best. Guy has load of knowledge when it comes to american motoring.
What a great looking truck. I had an 86 a long time ago and I would love to have another
That truck is awesome! I bought a k10 last year, great truck!
Love those squares! You can add my name to the list of folks that will be following this project. Very cool!
That K10 is beautiful! Congratulations guys!
Can't believe I haven't seen this series before, I love this kind of stuff, but I've never seen it show up in my feed!
My very first car was a similar truck to that. 2500 though. I did things in that truck you'd only see in Dukes of Hazard. Never even knocked it out of alignment. 8 mpg though. Loved it.
Nice truck
I miss my old 85 F150 4x4 w/ the 302
Can't wait for the upgrades
Very nice and good price. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
can't wait to see what you guys are gonna do to it.. the suspense!!!
I remember putting my Uncle's truck in granny gear jumping out and then jumping in the back to feed cows. Great memories!
Beautiful old square body. Please do more videos like this with older trucks!
This truck with a 350 crate motor, 3.73 gears and a general freshin up. Here we go. PS smog pump bs is a non issue in Iowa, but you lucky bastards in Colorado don't have the rust issues we do here.
Very cool truck, guys! I think she's perfect as is, but I can't wait to see what you all have in store.
Now you're talking !!! Awesome truck, and in my world, Chevy is KING !!!!
Heck yea, looking forward to seeing big green in more videos
great video great truck !!!! thanks for sharing
Had one of these, the cam is like butter, and most came with 3:08open diff rear end. last forever though!
I love those old square body chevys, I had a 79 that was basically that green color but had way more rust...on the bright side it had the 350 and glass packs so it was plenty loud and I never got stuck in that thing...makes me sad I sold it.
My uncle bought one of these brand new in 85. In 92 the engine was running ruff, found out one of the pistons warped. Long story short, we lived next to a guy that built engines for B mod racing. Asked him to make that 305 put out more hp than any 350. Forged racing pistons, 3/4" racing cams, high tension valve springs, bored .60 over, 650cfm carb, headers, x pipe dual ehausts. Dad says it was dynoed at 350~ hp at the rear wheels. Those 305 if treated right can have some serious horse power. It has the 3 speed with the creeper gear. In first gear i could lay down 100ft of tire tracks. Buddy of mine had a 96 camero, i could take him off the line but shifting gears is where he would get ahead of me. It was one hell of a sleeper truck. Pretty fun to have people take a second look at that rusty old truck when you would start it.
nice rig! very clean. Can't wait to see you cause some shenanigans with it. Nice crate 350? Vortec 8100? great vid guys!
I love your choice!!! I want one of these low mileage manual transmission 1/2 ton pickups. I would change out the engine and tighten up the steering and throw some detroit lockers with 4.11 or even 4.88 gears to compensate for the 35" tires. I am so looking froward to your build and videos of this truck in action. Let me know when you are going to sell it..
I have an 83 K30 4x4, with a 400 turbo and a 350 engine, with the cast iron transfer case. Doesn't need a lift kit as it's up there already. The truck has 63,000 original miles and I love it.
I hope you guys are committed to keeping the old style look when you get around to working on the exterior- will definitely keep its presence on the road if it doesn't have a lot of modern-looking accessories bolted on to it.
Love it! I had one similar to that. Now I have a 1986 F150 with a 351. The only downside to it is that it really drinks gas.
side terminals are awesome, seen so many corroded and mangled top posts, never had a problem with sides
This thing is beautiful, congratulations guys
Very nice guys! My 2001 Trans Am still has the two-key system ;) You can get a nice rebuilt 350 for dirt cheap. Nice cam and it will have double the power!
Old Pickups are the best. Looking forward to see whatcha do with it.
My friend has a 1974 K10 with a 454 in it and it's great for almost everything besides obviously gas mileage
nice truck! those old Chevy's with the sm465 tranz were tough as nails!
Nice. I have that same truck. 85 K10 75,000 miles. Mine is stock with that under power 305. Its has around 10% body rust and being it’s a Michigan truck that’s considered rust free up here in the north salt belt. I paid $2,500. Runs great. I have plans for it. Great truck.
the 80's model up to the '98 Z71 are easily my fav chevy model trucks... early 00's also
yea thats over 20yrs worth of trucks so basically you like everything, thanks for sharing
Daniel Hough haha yeah well those 20 years were the golden age for the Z71 imo, its to flashy now.. I love chevys tho
Back in the 90's I paid 1250$ for a GM goodwrench crate motor. 350. 4 bolt main. Very good motor good power
Enjoyed this video :)
Nice buy guys can't wait to see what you do to her
I bought a loaded 84 k5 blazer 85k miles in mint condition from a older man a couple of yrs ago for 1k, I love it, it's my baby!
awesome Roman! please do all the testing with the original 305 engine. i wanna see how it compares to the new trucks.
nice truck. I have a 1984 K10 and I love it. I'm thinking about putting in a ls motor.
That truck is pretty clean, well worth the money.
My first new truck was a 85 black with black cloth interior. 305 automatic 4x4. I kept it for 15 years.
I would take one of those older trucks over any brand new "POS" any day of the week!
John Boyd Amen Brother and this old truck looks better than anything you see on the road today and it's cheaper to just like my 96 F150.
John Boyd I'd take a new one if someone was giving out trucks and offered me new or old. I might sell it though and buy an older truck, car and bike and then still have 40k left over. New truck prices are insane these days.
billy mccabe I know and most people only using them for shopping and stuff.
lol how quickly people forget.
Wait till the frame cracks at the power steering pump.
enjoy all 120 horses that 305 puts out and gets 14mpg on the highway, going downhill with a tailwind. It also has "self changing oil" (it burns it, so you add more)
enjoy cleaning carbs and repairing rust.
I Love my 88 k5, but its a toy and beach cruiser, I'd rather have a 2017 f150(or whatever else) for day to day tasks.
Also I wouldn't pay 5 or even 4 for this truck, but with these old trucks value is in the eye of the beholder.
footbalr074 I have a 96 Ford F150 with 5.0L Windsor V8 with 203,393 miles on it and it's still going strong. The only thing I replaced on my truck was the starter but other than that most of every thing else was simple maintenance and cleaned out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and after haven't had a problem ever since.
love tfl! love that truck
got two old square bodies myself and love them but now I want a pickup version.
The 5.7 TBI Chevy 350 was THE BEST SBV-8 engine EVER made and is still unmatched today.
