The square body Chevy in my humble opinion is one of the most iconic trucks ever built!
I agree, and I am a chevy guy saying this. But I also love the 79 Ford, that front end is narly. One of the few fords i would not feel shame having sit in my laneway.
saw a comment saying they were nicknamed the heart beat of America.
Especially with a lift kit, 24/26" tires, and a mean stance 😆
Amen to that Sir!! As a kid my uncle had one that was a monster and every time I would get a ride I loved it, that awesome rumble was the coolest thing to me especially when he'd kick the four barrel in, I was instantly hooked and have been in love with Chevy trucks ever since.
@@gregjames666 yeah even as a chevy guy, I have love for those late 70s fords. I learned how to drive stick on one of those at the farm as a kid. Love to have one now
I'm so excited to see a 8.0l magnum get some recognition lol
90’s trucks are simple enough to work on with basic hand tools, but modern enough to have comfy insulated cabs with AC and radio
90s vehicles in general were great for that and for the average joe with little mechanical experience to be able to wrench on their vehicle with a simple manual. I completely rebuilt my 94 thunderbird over the years as a teenager. Car served me very well.
Exactly. The best of both worlds.
I agree, I call this era the "sweetspot"of automotive technology.
YES- I know very little and can watch a youtube video and do almost whatever I need on my truck.
They had all that in 70s prolly earlier
Man I love that dodge. Single cab 4x4 manual. Plus i think it’s the best looking truck ever made.
I have one with a v8 but I want a chevy
That aggressive look never gets old. Always happy to see mine in the lot
I want a Cummins one tho
@@INP411 Cummins are cool but I’m not paying $25k for a 25 year old truck.
@@wranglercody8422 true that
I still heavily regret selling my '73 K20. It was nearly perfect, original. Don't go anywhere without a gas can in the back! Would be worth so much right now...
I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 8.0 V10 4.10 rear gears. Thing is a BEAST!!!!
I have a 95 dodge ram 8.0 v10 4:10 rear dually
It's been a pulling truck it's entire life.
280k. Never been apart
@@Welcometofacsistube Thats great news mines got 140k so far.
My buddy had one. They are beasts for sure. Heck back when they came out, they were king of the gassers, in my opinion.
I got a 94...wanna see?
czcams.com/video/eHDnzwC-5aY/video.html
98 cummins with 4.10s, wish it had a stick tho.
Gotta say I love my 99 Ram V10 wouldn't trade it for much. Even with gas prices going up I'm gonna keep it until it's done forever or I can no longer buy gas for it.
I have a 99 Ram V10 2wd as well and it's going to stay with me for a long time to come pulls anything i hook behind it.
I have a 98 2wd v10, I'm only going to get rid of it to get a 4x4 v10 manual. I love the v10, and the truck.
A matte black step side Chevy opened my eyes and made me fall in love with the truck world so much that I Even got one as my very first vehicle when I got my license, It was an 82 Chevy 4x4 custom deluxe. Learned how to drive and when it broke I learned how to fix it, Even learned how to rebuild the engine with that truck.
finally some good old squarebody videos
Hard choice I love old square body Chevy's but a V10 Ram with a stick... that's pretty badass 😎
My dad has one he's never found another one that's why he still has it
Wasn't badass enough not to get outran by a old 350.
Those 2nd gen rams with the manual and 4x4 are so great, I have a 2001 1500 shorty with the 5.2 magnum and it's a blast both offroad and on!
If that was an Edelbrock carburetor it would have puked out on the first 20' of that hill climb. Never underestimate a Holley
Steve and Dave are so great as Co hosts. Steve is so pure. One of those guys you could talk to for hours.
You two guys never fail to give us some fun entertainment in your rock kill episodes. Thanks!
Rock Kill 4 Ever
RKG is the best show on Motor Trend, in my humble opinion. Thanks for posting more of it!
“Don’t sell it, you’ll regret it forever” I had a ‘93 k2500 with the 6.5 Detroit. My most favorite vehicle ever. I sold it because i had a kiddo. Was worth it for him though
1997 12 valve Cummins PPump is the most legendary truck to ever exist.
I own a 1998 Ram 2500 V10 extended cab with the 8ft box. 120k miles. I love it!
I like seeing the square but from the moment I first heard about Dave's v10 ram I wanted to see a shoot out with a stock first gen Cummins, trying to answer the question whether fuel milage or horsepower, is better smiles per hour. When you look at a spec sheet they're mysteriously well matched.
Most folks didn't realize the V10s had a higher towing capacity over the Cummins. But the Cummins is much happier towing heavy loads.
One is a turbo
There is no match.
@@fastinradfordable Shows you've never driven a v10.
In a valley that they do not allow fireplaces or 2 stroke engines you are allowed to ag burn off Compleat orchards or vineyards...I am so glad i moved out of the San Joaquin Valley and out of California period.
I was surprised they had an off-road park there. I'm not a Californian. You're saying that someone couldn't take a 2 stroke dirtbike to that place and have fun? Seriously?
@@electrolytics Are 2-stroke vehicles being eliminated?
o The new regulations do not prohibit future sales of 2-stroke OHRV. However most
current 2-stroke models do not meet emissions standards, but cleaner 2-
stroke technologies exist that could allow for emissions-compliant 2-stroke
models in the future. Manufacturers must decide whether to bring cleaner 2-
stroke models to the California market once the Red Sticker program ends in
2022. Higher-emitting vehicles that do not meet emissions standards,
including conventional 2-stroke models, may continue to be sold for
competition use only
Magnum V10 and NV4500 is a sweet combo
thank you freiburger, for making me love trucks and muscle cars. i always liked challengers and camaro's, but you made me genuinely love Darts and Dusters and Blazers and K20s. I am now nostalgic for a time that happened well beyond 50 years before I was born lmao
I'm pretty sure that whoever had the failguy before you owned it, swapped the engine and trans - seeing as how the engine is a centerbolt valve cover - and from what I can see of the intake bolt pattern, those look like TBI/TPI heads.
Once I wanted to bid on an 01 Ram 2500 V10 4x4 with a stick, reg cab long bed. It was black and silver, gorgeous and badass truck.
Just put a 383 stroker in my k20. Love it :)
If that V10 was an automatic it would Def take that square body in the race.
I had a v10 with a 0-60 near 1 seconds. Maybe less
Why? Stick is faster
That dodge ram is BADASS!
5 speed and v10 is like the rarest beast ever
That old square body had a great sound and it showed it could hang with the crew.
we need the full episode here on youtube
Cool to see you guys in my town!!!! From the mud hole I used to throw my 454 burban thru to hungry valley where I rolled my first jeep as a teen 😅
Love the plate on the 99. Very fitting for DF
Both are sweet rides. I would be happy to have either in my driveway
Would love to see trucks come into the channel more love the vids
Great video 2 of my favorite trucks I got a 79 k10 and a 01 ram 2500 24 valve Cummins both 4wd
This Chevy looks great!! 🔥❤️
I'd take the K20 anyday and hang a 79 grille on it, too much electronics on the Dodge, just need a 9/16 and a 12 pack to work on the K20!
Awesome video fellas!
Come on how can you not love that dodge? Man it's awesome 👌
gas mileage
Ya...gas mileage...but mines a looker with only 70k on it...so I'm gonna keep her.
czcams.com/video/eHDnzwC-5aY/video.html
Some days I miss my K20, some days I don't. But in the end, I still like to have another one.
I've got a 98 3500 4x4 with a V10 and 5 speed. I've had it for 19 years. Same thing, I have thought about getting rid of it many times over the years and just haven't been able to get myself to do it. It has been such a great truck. But, if you put these two against each other pulling, which is what the V10 is for, the chevy doesn't stand a chance.
im in the process of getting another v10 Magnum cause mine got rolled. amazing trucks that should get more recognition. ive also got a 1970 C20 with 350/350 combo like yours.
My half ton 2nd gen 4x4 long bed 5.9 weight is 5240 with me in it I'm 165lb. The fail guy does have better tires but the Dodge does have the stick and it makes a difference off roading.
It would be a lot cooler if MotorTrend just uploaded full episodes to CZcams.
One of my favorite trucks... v10 dodge ram.
Don't get me wrong; I like the Ram cuz it's got a third pedal, but I've always been a sucker for square-bodies!
The ram may only have like 320hp. but a good 450 torque. and can easily make 500+ torque.
I love my '76, '83 & '86 Chevys & my '70, '83 & '96 Dodges - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS ✌☮
I been craving a K20 🙄😍🔥🔥🙌🏼
I love both trucks.
The chevy looks amazing as always but that v10 is a legend
V10 manual live axles 4x4, stellar. Old square body carbureted 350/350 wins! NP205 on corporates.. legendary
That guy is very genuine seen him take alot of heat from fri
Those dodges had so much low end torque. They took the 488ci viper block and built it for lots of tq really low. That's why it only has 310hp. They did the same with the 392 in the new cars, instead of 485hp, it's 410 but the tq is by far lower than the other 3. The others have more hp, but if you're farming, dodges are the way to go.
Do a dodge v10 vs ford v10 vs a Chevy 8.1
Took a 9min and 35 sec dump watching this great video sir!
Coolest wrenching couple out of California!
Luv them square Bodie trucks
Steve is such a cool dude
I'm going with 1995 almost entirely because it is manu0lal. Have 1999 s10 4.3 nv3500, 1995 YJ 2.5 ax5, and finally working on 1982 k10 new 350 tremic 4050. Build was paused for broken ankle.
And here I thought it wouldn't be a fair test with the V10 vs a small block.
Last square body I bought was 600 bucks runs n drives times sure changed.
Love you
They should do a battle of the V-10's, Dodge vs Ford. The Ford V-10 could be fitted with a ZF-6 6 speed manual
It wasn't my choice but I replaced my beloved '79 3/4 ton Square body with a '96 V10 2500...Both are awesome trucks but I really miss my square!
Such a shame we can’t watch roadkill in the uk anymore
Same with Australia. Such a shame. They’re putting these vids on try drive traffic to the app yet signed away a big percentage of there viewership when they canceled international subscriptions. Go figure.
Curious where that 350 got 275 horse. As an owner of two 90s variants you're lucky to get 245.
The fact you have a v10 ram with a five speed is rare. Its like finding the hemi g56 six speed trucks. =keepers
Because everyone ripped that guzzler out and 12v swapped it in the second gens
I have a 2002 for sale $4500 right now runs like a beast leaks oil like a stuck pig but i did just put a rebuilt transmission in it heater an ac dont work dash is gone this truck is ready for a truck guy to do whatever he wants to it 2002 v10 8.0L 2500 4x4
I have a '99 F-350 V10 that I love, but it would also be nice to have something didn't need to get smogged every 2 years.
Move out of California. Best decision I ever made. Haven't smogged my F-150 for 2 1/2 years.
GREAT VIDEO DAVID & STEVE!!!! THE FIRST WORK TRUCK CHALLENGE!!! WE NEED MORE CHALLENGES LIKE THIS!!!! FOR THIS IS WHAT HOT RODDING IS ALL ABOUT!!!! HAVING A BADASS WORK TRUCK FOR THE WEEK!!!! THEN HAVE MORE FUN ON THE WEEKENDS!!!! FORM & FUNCTION ALL IN ONE!!!! I LOVE MY HOT ROD FAMILY!!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
i used to own that exact dodge, was my first truck actually.
Like all the dodge guys I ever raced ( on a closed course naturally) excuses excuses the Chevy is king, love this channel keep up the great work
id trade my 2001 dodge 5.9 gas for that chevy all time i think old chevy are cool and not hard to lift old chevy with 4 or 6 inch 4 with 33 or 6 with 35 look great
Love a squarejunk
I have a second gen ram and I've owned square body Chevys both are great and very capable but on a long trip the dodge is definitely a more comfortable of the two i would pick up a square body as a weekend toy but daily the ram
I did a overhaul on my v10 and I'm running a 6.71 blower at a very mild 646hp please show us how it's done I know there is alot more potential
I still like you guys videos
Fire whoever edits these videos.
So much for Cali pollution controls on open burning!
"Oh, no wonder everyone watches the show". 😄 I pay for MTOD and honestly don't mind because it's very cheap for all the shows that you get but geez I wish these were still free on CZcams where we could comment.
I'd love to have that square body Chevy. Would you consider selling that old truck Steve?
I have a 96 v10 on 37x12.50s
What kind of exhaust on the dodge is that?
When are you guys going to do a WORK VAN challenge?
This show is so gutless now. I can’t believe they managed to suck everything out of such an amazing show. 😢
Those square bodies have there following but I’m not one, seems like they always get that crack across the windshield and rust even out here in the west, only plus is that’s a pre 75 so no smog check. Have a 99 dodge ram 4x4 5.9 gas & auto. Good truck but not a classic
I've got the exact same ram
Hmmm If I was born earlier enough back then (I’m 26) and I would of been old enough to be able to purchase a vehicle back in early 2000s, I would of tried to special order a hemi ram 1500 with a 5 speed manual! That’s a awesome truck. The 5 speed automatic in my 2003 is fun enough but you can’t not love banging through the gears. Remind you of a old muscle car. Heck they are muscle trucks. The manual makes it really awesome
You couldnt order the hemi 1500 with a manual. Only the hemi 2500 with a nv4500 which was really rare and hard on gas or a 4.7 in the 1500 with a 5 speed / 6 speed which was also hard on gas. Looked many years. Ended up with a Cummins manual
@@reggien737 you can maybe try if not I’d swap it. I know the larger trucks come with it and it’s very rare
Grabber green !!! Lol..😂
Actually, the 70s were probably the Best Decade for pickups period. From the Dodge D&W series and Ramcharger. The Ford F series with 4 different grill and or body styles 70-72 bump side,73-76 dentside 77 1 year only and 78-79 and also big and original Bronco. And the Chevy GMC 70-72 small body and 73 - 79 square body, which to me is better looking than 80s version Blazers included. And don’t overlook the Jeep J series and Cherokee and also the new model Toyota 4x4 straight axle mini truck. Another coolness factor all those Utility had removable roofs.
Either the green all over was a “thing” or I used to own that truck lol
OH MY GOD ROADKILL GARAGE THE WORLD CAN WATCH THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE
Neat
That just goes to show old school Chevy is better than new school Chevy and that dodge is solid
Which is better ? I only saw one truck, the ram
Idk why I just watched this on CZcams. I have motor trend on demand
I always find myself on team Steve
Didn't realize you were so short
I have that same Ram! Just diesel instead
