"1981 Chevy Pickups, Blazer, Suburban" - (Dealer Film) 2-of-3

[@mromatic17]

post more of these classic auto adds i love them they give a lot of info that is hard to find!

[@danareynolds1786]

I never heard of the "K-10" designation used on the K-5 Blazer. Every fender badge I saw always said "K-5".

[@bradleyphillips204]

If they can start making these instead of the breadboxes they make today I'll go to the dealership tomorrow and order one 👍

[@mattbartolovich8228]

I'd be there

[@andregonsalvez9244]

These older trucks were certainly better in it's simplicity .

[@juansaladzar]

Ummm…didn’t you just describe everything older brah? 🤔

[@andregonsalvez9244]

@@juansaladzar what's your point Are you the Internet police ? Old is gold...

[@juansaladzar]

@@andregonsalvez9244 my point is you pointed out the obvious. The comment was unnecessary because most people understand that old things are simpler things. Come up with some better more thought out comments next time brah

[@fernandobarajas3157]

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...

[@jeremystory6981]

Handles way beyond the limits,,,,

[@johnnydodge]

Its funny the forklift with the roofing squares drove by Like nope aint gonna do it, Chevy Shananigans

[@praisethelord4222]

I have a 1985 C10 that is my favorite vehicle! Even over my new vehicles. They just don’t make em like that any more. 🇺🇸

[@robervin3189]

Wow, one needn't have a step ladder to reach into the bed. The dashboards alone are reason enough that I buy & maintain old iron. What I lose in mpg I more than make up for in maintenance / upkeep........by faaaaarrrrrrr!

[@eldo59]

13:02 LOL! They forgot to say "do not abuse your truck in this manner". 19:30 Get down on it! ROFL!

[@davidhicks2178]

My dads 81 he had when I was a kid wasn't that smooth, me in the passenger seat I felt like the dummy on the wheel lol

[@bigdrew565]

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. 😆

[@diggad6092]

They don’t make ‘em how they used to

[@dre4011]

great stuff

[@elektrosmokes1911]

11:20 WHAT'S IT GOT, STUNT MAN?!?!

[@attackb5349]

GM getting that truck warmed up for some rockin’ horses!

[@johanattangonzalez8165]

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

[@aaronfisher125]

My grandpa had a C20 that was brown then in the 90’s he gave it to my dad and now it’s mine and I was driving it around just a few days ago

[@gabe8388]

Did you know that they still make dealer videos like this today?.... yeah!, they are just pictures of rainbows!

[@mattt198654321]

One time I drove with a master technician under the hood too. They just let me out of prison last week.

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

[@mromatic17]

[@davidhicks2178]

[@ffarmchicken]

Ha, boys in high school enter the chat…..

[@user-jp7om2cj3z]

Can put the equivalent video for gmc pickups on your KZbin account

[@MrLuckytrucker21]

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!

[@thomasshort1784]

@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).

[@davidhicks2178]

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

[@MrLuckytrucker21]

@@davidhicks2178 Yep, i had one too, a 92!

[@aaronsaegebarth6891]

1981 was the only year you could get it for the refresh, GM brought it back in 1988.

[@dougc190]

Can you imagine an economy model today? Still be $75,000

Me gustan las tres camionetas Chevrolet Blazer K5 Custom Deluxe, Silverado y Scootsdale C10/20/30; incluyendo la Chevrolet Suburban; con los asientos delanteros tipo butaca; me pongo a imaginar una bella muchacha; soltera, libre y sin compromiso; sin tatuajes, ni piercings en su cuerpo; ella es blanca, ojos azules, cabello rubio; la cara maquillada, los labios rojos, el cabello arreglado, ella viste una blusa blanca manga larga, minifalda azul oscuro, calcetines canilleros blancos y gomas blancas; ella va manejando la camioneta yo voy en el asiento del pasajero; ella es la dueña de la camioneta; es (la dama de la Suburban); me voy con ella para Mérida por asuntos de trabajo; nos vamos para Mérida por Curimagua, Cubiro y La Puerta; solamente para pasear y descansar; estando en Curimagua; cuando nos iremos de día de campo para pasear para las cataratas de Hueque; para pasar el día de campo; llevar comida preparada; yo visto un pantalón largo con el cinturón; calcetines, zapatos una franela y gorra; ella viste una blusa cuadriculada manga larga unos shorts, calcetines y gomas blancas; para qué se vea cómo una exploradora; si sobró lo del almuerzo queda para la cena; saludos y buenas noches.

Tire scrubbing brah 😐

1:07 Check out the Stepside bed wood painted body-color.

[@302efi]

People actually used trucks off-road?

[@mattt198654321]

Can we please go back to calling it "big dooley"

[@matt9c1]

GM stopped making trucks in 2007. It's a shame.

[@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354]

Totally agree! 1999-2006 (07 Classic) were the last decent trucks from GM...2007+ are cheap expensive unreliable garbage

[@ffarmchicken]

😢I agree

[@nlpnt]

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.

[@melissacarterpresley5786]

You have a real gift for writing fiction.

[@Schlabbeflicker]

Rear A/C is far from "unnecessary" in AZ, friendo

[@nlpnt]

@@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.
