I’m a heavy truck mechanic with 34 years experience and I don’t buy anything from the tool trucks anymore. Icon tools absolutely ROCK! This is all I buy now. Thank you Harbor Freight!!!

Even for 1981, those Chevy trucks still had the latest “technology and stuff”.

Our family had 2 Sunbirds from new- a 1976 V6 4spd Firethorn Red, and 1980 4-Banger Auto Silver. A new 1978 Camaro Rally Sport 305 V8 Auto Red was in between the two. My Brother took over the 80 at some point in college.

Chevrolet swinged and missed when they turned the Blazer into a boring genric suv. Ford is printing money with all it’s Bronco line up.

Too small with very unremarkable styling. The interiors were nicely done on on the Devilles with plenty of legroom front and rear. The positively junk "Hook n Tow" 4100 V8 was an awful scandal for Cadillac, in the wake of the half-baked V8-6-4 and notoriously unreliable Olds 5.7L diesel. At least the reengineered 4.5 and 4.9L V8 Engines were very reliable and powerful. But then there was that damn overly complex (but powerful) 32 valve DOHC Northstar V8 that blew head gaskets and had a leaky coolant cooled alternator. The earlier model years of the Northstar were filled with warranty claims for the head gaskets, multiple oil leaks, and overheating. Ugh.😮

Dodge in the 70s had lots of engine options. You could get a 440 in a Van. Which is awesome.

2024 and I'd _love_ to have one of these. I was considering an '84 not too long ago, but the cost to get it fully operational was more than I could invest in :(

My buddy Joe had an 85 sedan DeVille in that banana creme color. There isn't a more destructive driver than Joe on planet earth. That thing took his abuse for two years until he ran into a concrete light pole base at high speed. It was still driveable! Ended up getting overheated to death due to leaks from the crash. He paid almost nothing for it too.

Growing up, my dad had a 1980 Chevrolet Scottsdale 4x4 Shortbed 2 tone brown with 305 and low 4 speed. I wish it was still around, sharp truck. It had the "Silverado appearance package" with square headlights and the chrome trim. Interior was same but no carpet or cruise. Had the aluminum looking instrument panel and door trim and cloth brown seat.

My aunt hinted at wanting a new 78 MC. My uncle told her that they really couldn’t afford one, and went down to order her one! It had everything including a sun roof He took her to the dealer and surprised her for her birthday. These are great videos

I've driven 80s GMs more than anything else, but nothing any older. That multi-function lever is so standard I never imagined they didn't have it in the 70s. Even being able to activate the blinker without latching it fully into place was a feature? Wow. I just figured every turn signal was like that.

Yeah "difficult to get close to." You try to sell me a bill of goods, you better believe I'll be difficult to get close to! Come on, Mable, let's get over to the Lincoln dealer. This dude is on something if he thinks I can't see that half the car is missing.

The funny thing is that these trucks basically did not mechanically change for about 40 years.
