1977 CHEVROLET 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES PICKUPS, BLAZER, SUBURBAN & CHEVY MALIBU & CLASSIC 17754

if those trucks were still manufactured today. id totally buy one.

Back in the day before throw away vehicles. I miss the blazer.

The days when you could actually do a tune up yourself. The days when you could repair the car yourself. The days when the American worker did not mortgage their house for a car. The days when the car didn't talk back to you. The days when people drove with their hands on the steering wheel instead of bullshitting on the phone with the other. The days when most of the car was built with metal instead of plastic. The days when it didn't cost you 60 bucks to replace a burnt out headlight. The days when people actually turned their head to see how they are backing up, they didn't need a camera. The days when people actual knew how to read a paper map. The days when people knew how to check the air pressure in their tires instead of a computer telling you . The days when a car came with a normal spare tire. The days when a dashboard didn't look like a instrument panel on a 747 aircraft. The days when you didn't have to pay to put air into your tires. The days when a service station attendant spoke english that you can understand. And finally, the days when you can turn on the car radio and not hear the phrase DOT COM every 30 seconds from worthless advertiser's selling crap or asking for money for a charity while their CEO's have a unlimited personal expense account. If all what I said is not the truth then I don't know what is. Please feel free to add any additional comments, Thank you.

My father bought a grey '77 3/4 ton 4x4 Scottsdale with the 350 and 4 speed. I got it from him. I loved that truck. The only reason I got rid of it was because it rotted away to the point that the cab mounts were shot and the clutch wouldn't engage. Someday, I'll pick one up just like it, just for the trip down memory lane.

My 78 K 20 HD was auto trans with manual hubs. 350 gas four barrel. Dual aluminized exhaust. Scottsdale trim in frost white. Built in Fremont California. Diesel V -8 was available that year. Bought her brand new off lot for around $7,000. Interest rate at that time was an unbelievable14%. Gas was around 30cents a gallon.

My grandfather owned a 79 Chevy (dark blue) and I owned a 78 ford (white). Both were 4 wheel drive. My ford had dual tanks and cost me a little over $40 bucks to fill up both tanks. Those old war horses hold a special place in the heart of all truck owners who appreciated what a truck was supposed to be. I remember popping the hood and sitting inside the under carriage when we had to do tune ups, change the oil, ect. Always preferred an actual front rear end vs these independent CV joints we have today. Man, those were days and I was just to young and dumb to know it.

I love these old square bodies so much I have a blazer and a Suburban from this era. Both start and drive everytime no issues. There's enough room under the hood that 2 men can sit on each inner fender and work on them. Everything is simple to get to, easy to see. There aren't a million sensors to go bad. I have driven them hundreds of miles in one day with no issues. Plenty of room to sleep in the back while camping. REAL solid axle, tough, 4 wheel drive! Not this computer controlled, wimpy tiny axle, all wheel drive crap. There's a shift lever attached to the transfer case and you know you are in 4x4. Not some push button crap that fails. Not an electronic controled transfer case and axle hubs that fails. The gauges are all over 40 years old and still work. Not like the 2003 chevy I had, which had the gauge cluster fail twice. The square body chevy trucks were the best, toughest trucks GM ever built, hands down. GM made this style all the way up til 91, why? Because they were simple, tough, reliable, and had nice creature comforts. Why mess with a good thing? And they were the best looking trucks they ever made, but that's personal taste I guess.

I own a 76 GMC and a 82 Chevy 1 ton 2wds. Awesome, simple trucks. Can pull or haul anything.

I remember when my Parents owned a 1979 Silverado 30 Dually Camper Special. They bought the truck in 1980 and had it until they traded it in on an 1985 Silverado 10. The Dually was Black and Silver two tone with dual fuel tanks , Dual exhaust and had the 454 V8 Automatic Transmission. That was one tuff truck and they used it to pull a 32.5 foot fifth wheel camper. The half ton had the 305 V8 Automatic Transmission dual fuel tanks and full power and was silver with a black stripe. This was a daily driver that pulled a boat. Both of these Chevrolet trucks were damn good trucks and they didn't cost No where near what they cost today and if you had to work on them you could not like the trucks Today !

77 Scottsdale with a 454, what a badass truck!

Someone needs to show this video to the Chevy designers

The first truck I bought with my own money was a 79 GMC Jimmy in the 90's I was just of school I miss it a lot oh the stories it could tell lol🤣🤣😂😂

My dad bought a new 77 custom deluxe pickup that year, his first 4x4 , paid 5000 cash, unreal the price now a days.

First truck I ever owned was a 1979 chev inline 6 banger, that was a good truck.still miss it to this day.

Love my 75 Suburban. Can fit all my friends in and we still have room for fishing gear and enough towing capacity for a bass boat

I love the square bodies, but I'll keep my '68 C10. It still fires up when needed, even in the cold Utah winters.

Great trucks!!! My favorite is still 67-72. Technology was virtually the same, they just had a more elegant look to them.

I’ve tried most brands but my 1990 V2500 is unstoppable on everyday drive thanks Chevrolet

Back when Chevrolet truly was an American Revolution and Like a Rock.

My Dad had a 1979 Suburban bought brand new and had it until he sold it in 2010. Lots of good memories!
