Truck Week EP31 - C10 CST

[@noahbarrett1172]

Ahh.... back when pick ups were used to haul things. Come back soon Steve! Speedy recovery

[@LongIslandMopars]

Yep. When trucks were trucks.

[@noahbarrett1172]

@@LongIslandMopars Seems like most trucks these days are overpriced piles of 💩, and the only thing they haul is the driver's ego.

[@LongIslandMopars]

@@noahbarrett1172 Agreed.

My 1990 Ford is the newest truck I have owned in 10 years by choice.

[@chuckgladfelter]

I did a six cylinder swap on a 1974 C-10 and picked up about 4 mpg over the worn out 350 V-8. Went from 11 mpg to 15 around town and from 14 to 18 on the highway.

[@musclecarmitch908]

Cool truck! Really takes me back to 1980, i fixed the floors in one of those back in vocational school auto body, it was the first time i had ever saw a pickup truck with factory buckets, i remember finding a silver dollar under the driver's seat when i removed it, i gave it to my shop teacher to return it to the owner of the truck and he thanked me for my honesty. 😊

[@madmike2624]

Get well Steve!!! Get your strength back soon, we miss you greatly!! Prayers were answered when you posted from your re-hab. center!!!!! Congrats on beating that nasty illness!!!!

[@SteveMagnante]

I spent the day off from the hospital retrieving LOCK JAW for use in a video we'll shoot from my hospital room. I got permission to use a hospital wheelchair in the video. Coming soon to a KZbin near you! After we snatched LockJaw, my buddy took me to Outback Steakhouse for my first filet mignon since August! It was scrumptious! Thanks again for writing and watching. -Steve Magnante

I guess I'm getting old and sappy because reading Steve's words made my eyes water a little. The world is so sad these days. Steve's story of kicking his illness in the azz is ridiculously joyful for me. One win for the good guys!!!

well said my brother!!!!!!@@giggiddy

[@googleusergp]

Another day closer to your return to the yard. As stated last time: Correct, the VIN gets the win: C for 2WD, E for V8 equipped (S is for six cylinder), 1 is for 1/2 ton (2 is 3/4, 3 is 1 ton, etc.), 4 for pickup and box, 7 for 1967 model year (8 is 1968, 9 is 1969, 0 is 1970, 1 for 1971, 2 for 1972), T for Tarrytown, NY assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Tarrytown, NY plant operated from 1914-1915 until 1996 and prior to 1915, it was a Stanley Steam Car factory. The last vehicles to be made in Tarrytown were the "Dustbuster" vans, and after Tarrytown's closure, production was moved to Doraville, GA. These 1967-1972 trucks were made in various plants such as Atlanta (Lakewood Heights), GA (A), Janesville, WI (J), Flint, MI (F), "Freaky Fremont", CA (Z), Baltimore, MD (B), St. Louis, MO (S), Oshawa, Ontario Canada (1), among other plants. Custom Sport Trucks will have an RPO code "Z84" on the SPID label. No tag, can't brag, and no SPID, wish you did, but possible code 511 Dark Aqua exterior paint. However, "DD" on the tag comes back to a color known as "Strato Blue" in other years, but I don't think that's a paint code on there. Sometimes the paint codes and charts don't always line up as they should.

[@madmike2624]

You sir are a gem!!!!! The world needs more people like you, attention to detail is a lost and long forgotten art!@!!!!

[@tomwesley7884]

"With the VIN, we win..." yeah , the "DD" stood out to me, as paint, but I'm far from being any sort of expert on that

[@googleusergp]

It is not. I think it is a configuration thing. I know I read its meaning somewhere.

[@googleusergp]

Nice of you to say, but as I've said time and time again when everyone contributes, everyone learns. Then everyone wins.

[@robertbjorklund1924]

I hope your road to recovery is going ok. Hope to see an update soon.

[@RC-cc4rv]

Great you are recovering, looking forward to your return!!!

[@kenttalsma7906]

'67 Chevy PU. My first truck. 283, 3 speed, half ton. Chrome bumpers, chrome on the grill, had the small back window. '67 was the only year for that on a PU. I believe the big back window was an option.

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

Enjoying the truck series Steve! Hoping you're doing well and that we'll see you crawling the junkyard again soon.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

My brother has the 67 that his wife’s dad bought new in September 66.. it’s a stripper truck. Had a 250, 3 on the tree, radio delete, 1 sun visor 1 sideview mirror truck.. He built a wood flatbed for it out of old barn wood, installed a Muncie m21, and a 454, and built the 12 bolt with 4.10 Detroit true trac

[@shaggydarvel]

Hey Chevrolet bring back those self cleaning wheel wells

[@tomm1109]

The 60-66 were probably the most rust prone vehicles ever made! I'm glad to see they learned a few things on this generation.

[@dalebaker8266]

Looks like a project to me.

[@rustyshackleford6811]

My first vehicle was a 67 gmc 327 3 on the tree manual steering and brakes.. wood floor bed and idiot lights and seat belts..that gmc picture is it. Red w white top.

[@DanEBoyd]

They might look cool, but they sure get dirty and clogged in a hurry.

[@sheldonaubut]

Bought a 1968 C-10 long-bed from the Minot ND Air Force base in 1986 and had it until 1999. It had the optional 292ci six-cylinder with the "3 on the tree." Loved and miss that truck. Should never have sold it. Living in Duluth MinneSNOWta it always started without hesitation even on the one day I had -50 f. at my house in the country. Both of my son's, who are now about 50 years old, learned to drive in that truck.

[@dogpotter]

Thanks for posting this video. Hope you are doing well. Hope you are able to return soon. My father in law had one of these CST trucks. His was a short bed with a big block. It was a gold metallic. He was using it for his commercial painting business. It sat in the yard for several years and was sold for scrap.

[@jerrywagner4690]

67 to 72 are my favorite Chevy trucks. Would like to hear how you are doing Steve.

[@user-lr2lg6qz4e]

My first vehicle was a 67 Chev truck. Mine was swapped the other way. Originally a 292 six and 3 in column, it had a 307 and 4 speed standard when I got it. It was really hard driven and worn. I swapped for a 68 Cutlass Supreme within a year and didn't look back.

[@jamesberry276]

Don't forget the '67 was the only year the fleetside in the 67-72 Gen had wood bed floors. That truck needs to be brought back! Like many, I enjoy junkyards as much as a car/truck show. Keep up the good work Mate!

[@58raceguy]

That CST trim package made for a very nice looking truck and really a value-adder these days. Please keep on the recovery track Steve, we miss you and look forward to having you back

[@jarm7726]

Late 90s I had a 68 k20 4speed V8 same color keep on truckin 🤓❤️

[@TOWNCARBUBBA87]

Yep had me a 67 GMC back in the day and it had the long bed. don’t believe I ever seen the CST model. interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing brother 👍

[@Ed-pr7jv]

I wish the new Chevy pickup trucks looked half as good as these earlier trucks. By far the best looking trucks ever made! And they drove wonderfully. My dad had a 1971 Chevy, half ton, 250 six with the three speed column shifted manual. Just a great handling truck, maybe because of the coils in the back? Thanks Steve!

[@lefthandedleprechaun8702]

I had a '69, short stepside ged, buzxin half dozen and 3 on the tree and i liked the coil sprimg suspension, i pulled my daddys little massey tractor all around thr county mowing pasture , evem got stopped for speeding once, even though top speed was 50 mph.

[@Ron_Lockwood]

Dad had a’67 and a ‘68.❤ Be well.

[@robertvandervelden5917]

My first truck when I was 15. 67 C10 250 and three on the tree. Paid $165.00 for it after it sat in a field for years back in 1993. I drive the heck out of the truck. I still have the lettering off the hood and the title.

[@jamesonpace726]

Could be a really nice truck again & that bike a sweet bonus....

[@vettekid3326]

More then likely when the original V8 got tired it was replaced with the six because a good low mileage six was easy to find as most people were pulling them out to replace with V8's like in Chevy Novas. Back in the 1970's Chevy II"s and later Novas that were owned by little old ladies that had good bodies and base engines were popular with hot rodders and most times you could pickup the engine for little or nothing.

[@lamarw9901]

Agreed the gas mileage on a 250 hardly changes from a V8. The swap was done to keep the truck on the road inexpensively. I'd be crurious if the truck had a frame swap or accident resulting in mixed parts.

[@tomwesley7884]

"Good bodies..." ya talkin' the little old ladies or the Novas?

[@mikebrown8065]

Ahh yes. The old swapping of engines. My brother and I did quite a few 8 cylinder to 6 cylinder engine swaps for people back in the early 90's on full size pickup trucks and vans, believe it or not. People didn't want the expense of a new vehicle, but wanted better fuel economy. The strangest one we did was pulling out a 454 and installing a inline 6 on a 1973 Caprice 😱😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@LongIslandMopars]

OMG

[@giggiddy]

And after paying for the engine and the labor to install it. Given the difference in gas milage, they should start seeing the savings in 10-12 years lol😅

[@mikebrown8065]

@giggiddy 😂 good point. The price for the job was a grand. And the inline 6 was 100 bucks from the junkyard. And a can of VHT engine paint, a gasket kit, and new fuel line with filter, we split the 780$ profit for labor.

[@giggiddy]

@@mikebrown8065 nice. That straight 6 is probably still going strong!

[@toddburgess6792]

I love how technology afforded us a better look at the bike.

[@kenvickery7319]

We had a 68 Chevy CST 3/4ton. It had a 327 wth a turbo 400 trans. Power sterring and brakes. All the chrome and carpeted interior but a bench seat instead of the buckets and center fold down seat/ armrest. The truck was up in Manitoba Canada . I enjoy your vids.

Nice. My son has the same Honda. That one is in as good of condition as his.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Steve, the more modern Chev 6 has one similarity to 235. They are both 6s. That is it. 7 main bearing engine with hydraulic lifters and at least a 9 port cylinder head. They do have a LOT more similarity to Chev V8 as many parts interchange.

[@willhorting5317]

First thought was 68 until Steve reminded me about the new Regs requiring NA Autos to have marker lights (round 68, square 69-onwards). 'Self-Cleaning' my, ahh - Round Fender Liners were cheaper and easier to manufacture. Honda takes you places ;)

[@zephead4835]

The marker lights on those trucks were never round they were always square.

[@the_lost_navigator]

@@zephead4835 You're right, my thoughts were racing - I was thinking more about cars in general.

[@sombra6153]

Another educational video. Noting the aluminum camper shell, I certainly hope them retro craze doesn’t bring back that particular “aerodynamic as a brick.” If the engine swap was done for fuel economy, taking off that shell would have also improved miles per gallon. I do wish they still made austere trucks like that, although standard A/C would be welcome. Anyway, still thinking about you and wish you a solid recovery.

[@tomwesley7884]

Saw one of these parked in a driveway, two weeks ago, in Apopka, FL. If I remember correctly, the "CST" badge was on the fender, along with the "10," so "CST10." I was like, "wtf is a CST10?" Steve explains. The one in Apopka was a suntanned, gold shortbed.

That '70-'72 hood was designed to segue into the '73 Square Body hood. Compare them. Now I can look at old cars and see how the last year of a design incorporated styling ques which were similar to the first years of the redesign.

Many years ago, my Dad had a '68 C-20 STEPSIDE longbed. Talk about rare. Had a 307 V8 that was really easy on gas and had pretty decent power. What would possess somebody to swap out a pretty fuel efficient V8 for a 6 banger? Must have been a real tightwad cheapskate, which shows with that garbage air cleaner. BTW - I bet this truck was a blast to drive with a V8 and 3 on the tree!

[@waylonbudenski577]

I think that sales brochure may be a 68 GMC. 67 GMCs would also not have side markers and a 67 GMC hood didnt have any letters on it.
