  • Attempting to breathe some life back in to this tired old 1977 Chevy C10 pickup after sitting for 20 years completely neglected. This was my great grandpa's old truck. The body is rough, but we may be able to repurpose the 350/350 drivetrain for my '57 Chevy wagon if she'll fire up!

    1977 was the only year for the gold stripes in the optional body side molding trim. Chevrolet & GMC produced those generation fullsize pickups from 1973 through 1987 on the 1/2 ton & 3/4 ton regular cabs. The 1 ton regular cabs were still in production up through 1989 & same with the crew cab pickups, Suburbans, Blazers, & Jimmys except up through 1991.

    That was actually a very cool truck. 77 was the only year for the gold anniversary trim

    That moment you call a carburetor junk because it sat for 20 years and needs a rebuild

    The ole Q jets are great carburetors. But a man has to know to tune one

      Oh yeah, this was the last truck he had before he passed, it was his farm and all around ride. He had some awesome cars and trucks throughout his life. It actually got put in a junkyard for several years after his passing and we managed to get it back. The body wasn't the best but knew we could eventually do something with the drivetrain.

    Hated those old Quadra Junk's used to stick and boil over. Like your dad said flip that lid over and you'd have a mean sounding machine been there done that. 😉 Keep'um coming guys.👍

    You were lucky, mine stood still for 4 years and died despite the battery being new. These cars are junk.
