Man this brings back memories!!! My Grandpa had one of these when I was growing up. When I got 13 years old he would let me drive while he drank beer lol. Just slow cruisin' down old Tennessee back roads. Life was good back then

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha that's pretty cool!

[@Exit_343]

This truck looks like it just rolled off the lot....wow!! That interior is awesome!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha it drives like it too!

[@ezekielmoorejr3145]

A buddy of mine had a 79 big 10 and it was his daily driver, we used it on the farm and his landscape business we even hauled a load of elephant's manure with it, good truck.

[@backroadracing5449]

My first truck was a ‘79 Bonanza. Man I miss that truck, wish I still had her

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It's crazy how fun this truck is.

[@toddgillatpoorboyzcustoms5689]

Another great find guys keep them coming. 👍

[@Joeyrayofficial]

I daily drove a 77 that had original paint cardinal red but mine was a little more red than that truck, although a lot of people would say it’s orange and get confused because I have another 81 that was cardinal red but poorly repainted orange. So basically for a while I had to call one stripes so people knew which one I meant haha love the big 10!

[@davidslaton401]

Good find, John. Awesome looking truck! Great video

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks, David!

[@19c1071]

y'all always score the best stuff , I love them...!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha thanks! Just beat the bushes and keep our eyes open.

[@shanewright6958]

That's a sweet looking truck. Another great video 👍

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks, Shane!

[@johndudley5987]

Thanks, HL! I knew you would like this one.

[@diyjman5259]

Wow that’s a beautiful truck great find guys what great shape it’s in so much for patina

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Not all of them have to have patina! haha it just depends on the truck. And this one is so fine like it is!

[@gregcrook3436]

This is one of my favorite body styles of the chevy trucks. The label on the inside of the glovebox door is cool!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir! We like 'em like that.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Man! I am so missing out! Just my color to! But I do know where to go when the time comes. Thanks Robbie and John for sharing.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha come on down!

[@aarontate1667]

Damn good lookin truck. What y’all call rescuing by having them lowered is what I call trashy and ruining them.

[@memphis2houston346]

Awesome video!!! A real nostalgic moment

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir! Thanks for tuning in.

[@waylonbudenski577]

Nice haul, the 79 is sweet and the 67 will make a great donor for the shortbed.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir! Thanks much.

[@scottlemons8191]

Hey John what a great catch that thing is so nice love those squares I ve got a 81 I'm working on now great footage two trucks coming home keep them videos coming

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks, Scott! It was a great trip for sure.

[@pneumatic00]

Beautiful bordello upholstery!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It's something, that's for sure.

[@biglon62]

Had a 1978 Bonanza short bed loved it! John if you get tired of it I’ll be glad to take it off your hands! Enjoy!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha I'll let him know but I think he's going to hold onto this one

[@dpike97701]

Gorgeous truck. I don't think I've seen any survivors that nice out here in Oregon. Video quality was excellent.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thank you, dpike! I'm sure there are but you gotta dig them out and hunt 'em down.

[@jamescoleman7764]

Great channel guys, y'all earned my subscription. Keep up the good work.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Awesome! Thanks so much!

[@averagejohn7435]

Awesome stuff here y’all.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks, man!

[@craigneubert7722]

I had a 76 that looked almost identical to this one. 350 two barrel, 342 12 bolt rear end. Loved that truck. It ended up donating that rear end to a sweet 81 I had. Dude that dash pad though! 😀

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha yup! These are just cool trucks. long or short.

[@orangesun3030]

That’s a beautiful truck. I own an all original ‘85 that I cherish

[@jeremystrickland7767]

i would like to have this truck man she is a beauty thanks for another awesome video buddy

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks for tuning in, Jeremy!

[@wickedc10]

Great find on both!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks, man!

[@jeffjamison8614]

Nice John, sweet, sweet, truck

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

He did good!

[@JayDogTitan-he6wo]

Very nice 79 Chevy Big 10, 60,327 miles, Amazing!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir!

[@cadillac5cj]

This truck bring back memories my grand dad had a blue one when I was a kid

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

That's what it is all about.

[@in4theaction]

How some great deals you guys found the 79 is nasty clean!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

We're out beating the bushes.

[@MangoTangoJKU]

Very nice truck! The video quality is great.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thank you!

[@thegearheaddepot9993]

Great truck ! Officially jealous! 😁

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It's awesome for sure!

[@russdoggwilliams1182]

Very nice truck! UBT 4 LIFE!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks, Rusty!

[@bjmoonful]

Love the truck John . Not long after I got out of high school a construction company I worked for had a bunch of these on the job site . I worked as an expediter (aka gopher), the one that drove was dark green with a light green inset. Loved that truck. The superintendent said I was going to wash the paint off if I kept it any cleaner. Then I had to start cleaning his every Friday as well. LOL

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha that's so cool!

[@michaelheathington9546]

Another great truck saved!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir!

[@ozark1981]

My first ride was a 79 Bonanza, blue and white two tone. Loved that truck.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Heck yeah, man!

[@jean-pierrecayol4897]

Hi John. Keep the interior it’s just too cool!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha he's going to keep everything the same except for the seat cover. Not only is it not our style, it's a little too hot.

[@sonparabailar]

I like the seat cover! Awesome truck, btw

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Such an awesome truck!

[@teddybertgarage4119]

Wow nice find 👍🏻

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks! It almost found us.

[@beardedscrapper538]

Awesome truck. I like that seat cover

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Haha a few are with you on the seat. I am not. :)

[@bee0877]

Awesome truck!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks!

[@CTemple82]

That’s a good looking sturdy pick up John got himself. Yeah that’s one of those you leave all factory and just dial in all the creature comforts to make it really enjoyable. Thang is a time capsule. You can’t beat the smooth steering of an all original square body.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

No doubt about it!

[@jfnelms]

I love that it’s two tone, and it has the solid rear glass. I dig the rally wheels too. Real good find. The CST is a rare set of options, don’t know that I’d have jumped on that one though...

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks much! The CST truck coupled with its shortbed brother will make a super cool truck.

[@highgoals4207]

Loving cream puff

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Me too!!

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Love them trucks used to have a black and silver Silverado I loved it it was a 79 drove it 1200 miles and loaded it up like the Beverly hillbillies comming back another 1200 miles the front wheels were hardly touching the ground 350 4 barrel lots of power loved that truck it ended up rusting out bad here in Canada the salt killed it

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha love that description and hate the salt. smh

[@davidjessee7701]

Nice old truck! My first vehicle was a 73 c10 long bed same red as this one except mine had a white top , straight 6, with a three on the tree... I drove it all through high school, had a gun rack in the back window with my 22 and a 370 wing master.. in the school parking lot, can't do that now. Kentucky class of 84

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

That's awesome! Things have certainly changed.

[@georgefudge6927]

Those are both sweet trucks, I recently got a brand new rebuilt 4 bolt 350 for my 72 she's loaded with options much like your 67, it's a Cheyenne 10 was originally ochre which I really love, sweet trucks. Awesome video!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks, George! Sounds like you've got a cool one too.

[@chrislangston2673]

That is a very beautiful mint truck... they all across here in Al too if yall ever hopping thru.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

I know they are!

[@brucephelps678]

You live in a great part of the country. I'm from New England and because of salt and snow here in the winter you just can't find square body trucks like Creampuff that are not all rusted out beyond repair. I had a 78 Big 10 myself I bought back in the early 80's and I loved that truck and after 10 years and 2 engines it was time to let her go. I called her Ole Bertha because she was not very pretty but she would never quit until rust got the better of her.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

That's an awesome story! And you're right: the lack of salt here certainly helps but we have quite a bit of rust ourselves.

[@brianpersons8007]

I have a 64 chevy 1ton flat bed .almost lost it in sonoma California in the big fire in oct 2017.but it servived . that is one cherry Bonanza .sitting in place with oak trees for shade an a tarp to keep it out of the weather .thanks again for the video's.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

No doubt about it! Thank you for tuning in.

[@p3th3t1c]

nice truck, im the proud 2nd owner of a 1973 Cheyenne super 10 350/350 posi myself, just roled her over to 57000 miles last month.. had it for 4 years now, baught it with 51000 miles, still drives like new, never been apart..

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

So cool! Great feeling driving a truck down the road like that.

[@toddadams8420]

That's a nice truck. I've never seen the small tailgate band before

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir! Came on the 73-80 higher optioned trucks.

[@mikeabresch94]

Love that old Ford truck dually

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Me too!

[@jmfields1976]

Those Buddy buckets are rare!! Wish I could find a 68 like that

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yup.

[@bdavis12758]

That’s a beautiful truck. I only wish I could buy just a cab exactly like that. That old ford he had looked like the frame done rusted through but swap the chassis out for a late model ranger or something and have a smooth ride and a good looking truck!!!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yeah, lots of cool stuff around there!

[@professorx8785]

Fuzzy and true let more of that music play ol boy

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha it's good tune

[@kennethsunderland6676]

Saw this truck at your tent! Very nice truck my 74 is that same color combination! Very nice!

[@kennethsunderland6676]

Btw my 74 was bought from Reeder Chevrolet in Knoxville too! It has the faded dealer sticker emblem! My dad was the third owner of it!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Wow! That's crazy cool. I bet they sold a lot of trucks back in the day.

[@kennethsunderland6676]

They are still in business in Knoxville. They are on Clinton Hwy off the interstate.

[@jonsmith7949]

It would be cool to take the truck back to the dealership for a photo op.

[@DjCBlaq]

This video QUALITY is off the chain.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks, buddy! Thanks GoPro for this one.

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

Looks good

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thank you!

[@braedon.builds]

I am really liking this channel so far! Just discovered it

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Awesome! Take a look at some of our older videos. Hope you stick around for the future one's too.

[@shaunmartin6357]

love that 79, I have a 79 cheyenne

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Sweet!

[@kevinrichards3288]

1979 was the only year for the headlamp bezels & grille with those designs together. 1979 was also the first year for the gas filler doors.

[@bryanmorgan8940]

my favorite square body year 1979!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Heck yeah!

[@terryhicks694]

I need that truck in my life. Would look nice next to my 87 SB Silverado

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It's a beauty.

[@adubbelde1]

My first truck was a 73 Cheyenne 3/4 ton with a f 454 and 4 speed. Bought it new. It had buckets and a console. That became a problem when I had my first child. My dad and I built a fifth wheel In 74 and I pulled it out to Yellowstone. Going up 80 to Laramie I couldn't get out of 3rd. Later talked to a guy with a ford pulling a fifth and he said he couldn't get out of 2nd. Today I drive a DURAMAX pulling a fifth and sometimes another trailer behind it. Pulled it over the Rockies with no problems even though mine is an LLY that had heating issues.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

That's some serious work right there! Love it.

[@obs9793]

She's a looker!👀

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

For sure!

[@chevylandt.v]

Nice I have a 75 custom deluxe big 10 or as GMC would say heavy half short bed with a 350

[@kevinrichards3288]

The Big 10 was Chevy's version of the F-150. Like the Chevy Big 10, the Ford F-150 was also a new optional heavy duty half ton pickup back in those days until the base F-100 pickup was dropped in 1984.

[@richardbates2367]

Awesome a fairly solid red and white 79 Chevy big 10 longbed!! Ironically I've always wanted to own a red and white 74-79 with nice paint and I had a solid carmine red and frost gloss white paint scheme 74 Chevy Cheyenne super 10 longbed but it's paint was shot, paint missing in several spots no existing clear coat left on it except the glovebox door... anyways I loved that truck, but I ended priming the cab red oxide except the passenger door and the front doghouse primer grey or it would have been nothing but rust...

[@tonybrown6940]

Sharp looking 79 Chevy truck

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes it is!

[@tomcrater7470]

You are lucky you do not find truck like that in mi. .Great truck have fun with it!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

We're having a blast with it!

[@mattdiaz2453]

Clean

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

So clean

[@mikeabresch94]

Love that year my Dad had one but it was a Silverado and it was black and silver rode smooth I wish I had friends like you all around here I have a 1969 GMC 3/4ton that I have been working on but I need some friends to help me stay motivated with positive remarks I like doing it like the factory

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

That's really cool! And sometimes it certainly takes a village. I'm fortunate for sure, but I'm sure you can get some likeminded guys together and develop some good friendships too.

[@jewllake]

so cool.... I own my late father's 64 Ford Galaxie 500 with the 390 4bbl carb. They had different horsepower ratings depending on the cam and if it was a police package HO. Most had 300 horse but over 400 ft/lbs of torque!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Sweet! Thanks for the info

[@christolbert4628]

A friend of mine in high school had a 77 Bonanza. It was loaded with a 454.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Now that's cool!

[@poohltd]

Nice 👍🏾

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir!

[@mikeabresch94]

And Jond Deere to yaaaaaaaa

[@jewllake]

I learned how to drive in a 79 Bonanza 10 long bed truck!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Cool truck to learn to drive!

[@jamesbond9873]

Used to have. Wish I still had it.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Cool!

[@brianrocco4301]

That old F5 looks just like Stubby Bob pre-surgery.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

That's a good point!

[@michaelray1590]

My grandpa had a 78 Chevy big 10 with all the options. He sold it before he bought his 1992 silverado he still has it.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Sweet!

[@DjCBlaq]

SQUARE BODY BEAUTY

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir!

[@DjCBlaq]

@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS shared to all my FB groups. Square body nation, Squarebody USA , and C10 Addiction

[@adubbelde1]

If that's the one you were eyeing, I'm not surprised to see it

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Yes sir!

[@chosenone101]

My truck is a 1978 4x4 chevy bonanza painted up like The Fall Guy truck

[@JohnJones-ep7of]

I would have called it Hoss, cause it's a Big 10 Bonanza.

[@rodneyclark1990]

looks like a road down in Seymour tn where my brother lives

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Likely it

[@kellykonoske91]

Leave 'er stock!

[@kikkinasphalt]

Makes me wanna sell my ls swapped k10 and buy a c10. Good looking truck!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Keep the k10 and buy a c10 when you can. :)

[@richardbates2367]

That looks like a 73-74-75 Ford 2dr. Ltd floor mat in the big 10

[@peggypatton9170]

Same yr I was born one day I'll have one

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Awesome!

[@chadshults8150]

I miss my ‘77 Bonanza lb. Sold it for a ‘77 Custom Deluxe sb. 😉

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Doesn't sounds like you did too badly.

[@Chacon8cinco]

Can you make a video talking about all the square bodies and the defected front part of the chassis right where the steering box is mounted. I've owned two sqbdy' s and both had that problem. Any solutions or suggestions would be helpful. Great video as always!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks! We definitely have a video concept similar in mind. To be honest, we've had plenty of squarebodies and have never experienced that defect, but have certainly heard of it before. Thanks for tuning in!

[@Mr1980cadillac]

Weird that it had that "catalytic" info deal on the visor. If I'm not mistaken, "Big 10" models were not equipped with any emission related items beings that they weighed in at 6050 lbs. I mean, they weren't "required" to have any of that stuff. I guess they maybe could be ordered with that stuff if so desired maybe?

[@jeremyelmore673]

All mopars had a Chevrolet provided tilt steering column.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Did not know that

[@mangaswilliams4145]

I would take that big 10 I can't find anything that nice out here

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It's a good one!

[@CodyRisser]

That truck makes my chest tight 🤘🏻

[@CodyRisser]

Heart attack..

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

haha mine too

[@bulldog1961]

Nice exhaust note. What mufflers?
