it's hard to believe that only the 5.0/305 was available in CA. The 2 inline 6 cylinder engines especially the 292 ran forever.. The other 49 you could choose from everything but the 454 in a C-10...

My grandfather had a 1981 Chevy Scottsdale white with a brown dash and khaki seats with khaki door handles with original radio and it was tall like a 4x4
nice .. back when a pu was a single cab ,had utility , of a 6.5 'or 8' box ..today its crew cabs with 5' -5.5' boxes im having a hard time finding 6.5 ' box never see single cab short box or 8' box
I actually forgot that the suburbans were offered in the different trim packages. I was scratching my head at seeing the Scottsdale badge on one for a few minutes. It's been a minute. 😆
@mgtowfish73 The 1981 only, to be exact (incidentally, GMC also dropped the Sierra Grande name after 1981 too). These were, chronologically, the trim levels of the '73-'87 Chevy trucks: 1973-74, Custom, Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super (base to top-of-the-line, respectively; the same's also true of the '71-'72 trucks); 1975-81, Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale, Cheyenne and Silverado (again, base to top-of-the-line, respectively and, yes, before 1999, Silverado was the top-of-the-line trim level ONLY); 1982-87, Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale and Silverado (once more, base to top-of-the-line, respectively; as I said, 1981 was the Cheyenne's last season and GMC, likewise, followed suit for 1982 by doing the same thing).
I had a 1991 Cheyenne, but I've never seen any between 78-87 tho. In 88 a Cheyenne was bottom trim no cloth, no stereo, no ac. My 91 had a rubber plug where the radio antenna would've been on the fender lol

18:54 That rear A/C was just about the only luxury on your loaded Suburban that couldn't also be had on a loaded Chevette, and that mainly because it was completely unnecessary on the smaller car.
@@Schlabbeflicker Certainly not on a Suburban but I was talking about it being unnecessary on a Chevette, where I think the underhood compressor was already a stock part designed for a bigger car.
@@chuckdillon3930 The GMT800's were GM's best trucks made. It all went to shit after that. In 2024, all American trucks are pretty miserable for reliability.
Even for 1981, those Chevy trucks still had the latest “technology and stuff”.
post more of these classic auto adds i love them they give a lot of info that is hard to find!
Handles way beyond the limits,,,,
These older trucks were certainly better in it's simplicity .
Ummm…didn’t you just describe everything older brah? 🤔

I never heard of the "K-10" designation used on the K-5 Blazer. Every fender badge I saw always said "K-5".
They were badged as “K-5 Blazers” but they were internally referred to as “K-10 Blazers” within GM.
If they can start making these instead of the breadboxes they make today I'll go to the dealership tomorrow and order one 👍
I'd be there

They don’t make ‘em how they used to
One time I drove with a master technician under the hood too. They just let me out of prison last week.
it's best between the best
I didn't know the Cheyenne trim was offered in the refreshed square bodies, it must have been a short model run because I never seen one in the wild!

@@davidhicks2178 Yep, i had one too, a 92!
1981 was the only year you could get it for the refresh, GM brought it back in 1988.
1:07 Check out the Stepside bed wood painted body-color.
Did you know that they still make dealer videos like this today?.... yeah!, they are just pictures of rainbows!
Can you imagine an economy model today? Still be $75,000
Tire scrubbing brah 😐
Can we please go back to calling it "big dooley"
LOL @ 11:20 DO NOT ABUSE YOUR TRUCK IN THIS MANNER

Ha, boys in high school enter the chat…..
People actually used trucks off-road?

You have a real gift for writing fiction.
Rear A/C is far from "unnecessary" in AZ, friendo

GM stopped making trucks in 2007. It's a shame.
Totally agree! 1999-2006 (07 Classic) were the last decent trucks from GM...2007+ are cheap expensive unreliable garbage
😢I agree
They all stop making good pickups in the 80s
