1977 Chevy 4wd trucks Silverado Cheyenne Scottsdale Custom Deluxe Dealership promotional film video

This 1977 Chevrolet promotional film, titled " 1977 Chevy 4-Wheel Drives - The Hot, Tough Brand ", was sent to the Chevrolet car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales and customer training film. The film highlights technical aspects and features of the new model year. If you look up a different film I posted, titled "1974 Chevy Selling Monte Carlo ", you can see a rare glimpse of the film cartridge viewer that was used at the dealership where the customers and personnel were to view these films. The machine was made by Technicolor and called the " Chevrolet Mini Theater System "
This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with removing the super8 film from the Technicolor Cartridge. After removal the film was cleaned, repaired, and spooled onto a standard film reel. Next the scanning to digital process was performed on the Lasergraphics Scanstation motion picture film scanner in 2k resolution. This film was very red without almost no color left. The extensive color correction was performed in Davinci Resolve. Finally, the film was converted to MP4 format for uploading to CZcams.

Totally cool

Spring 2021 my husband found a beautiful 1976 K-20 with only 68,000 miles on it, Silverado package, gold and white. I now drive her daily here in Iowa. Did a rust prevention treatment on her, because Lord knows, the one downfall of these is rust! Previously had a '79 C-10, since 1996 I owned that one. I love my square bodies! Sure is good to have a 4wd finally in my life. That 400 with all time 4wd sure gets crappy fuel mileage though! But no new trucks for me! They all ain't worth shite, all the fancy sensors and electronic crap! Bah!!! 😂

i wish they still made them like that

My late dad has owned one C10 two wheel regular cab long bed in Scottsdale trim in Brown paint. Very well built truck.

I worked in ag-business. I preferred the Ford for a two wheel drive. But the full time four wheel drive Chevy pickup was my pick for a four wheeler. We had a Western snow blade for the Chevy full time four wheeler, and that was the best blade truck I ever operated. I never used the "Lock" when blading. It didn't give you the usual four wheel problems, just operated so smoothly. And pulling dry fertilizer spreaders was so much safer.

[@dingamuss1993]

Grandfather has a Silverado Scottsdale Stepside. Plan on rebuilding it when the time comes. Thing's got a 350 engine with four-bolt-main.

[@danmahoney7712]

I had a 77 Scottsdale 6 foot box that I put a high lift cam in. It flew. I have a duramax dually now . Wish everyone bought American.

[@goodbonezz1289]

I’m SOLD!..must get one to complement my ‘77 Trans Am

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

sounds like a plan

[@davevirag5423]

😍!

[@datsun210]

At 2:00 You can clearly see the dual fuel tanks located OUTSIDE of the frame. A side impact collision in the area, the tanks will rupture and you will be engulfed in a hellish inferno of terror. I'd rather have a Ford or even a Dodge than die in a horrific fire.

[@edwardpate6128]

Remember that prior to that the gas tank was located in the cab behind the seat.

[@toddbob55]

those k-10s were probably cracking frames already just driving over the rough terrain

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

just weld it back together

[@traciweisenbachCITB]

Nope. Chevys are actually made to last, soooooo

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

Ive had 10+ square bodies, all lifted with 35s or bigger, never had a crack in a frame, my dad has a 89 f1shitty and the frame has completely cracked in half and been re welded more than once, my cousin has a 78 f100 and the frame is completely broke over the axel, the leafspring holds it together... So, no.

[@jsd795]

Hate to break it to you numb nuts but 1/2 and 3/4 tons have the same frame. Have owned several of these and the frames themselves are much stronger than Fords (not much experience with Dodge). The only weak point is right in front of the front shackle on the rear springs. The issue at that spot isn't the frame strength but rather the brace on the inside which creates a catch point for dirt, sand etc. and over time ( by time I mean 15 or 20 years) if the user doesn't power wash that crud out it will start to rot and eventually the frame will break at that spot.

[@Spennyman10]

I can't believe how awful the body lines do not match up on the gray and maroon long bed. Pitiful workmanship. I've had several squarebodys. They have so many shims everywhere.

[@hamadabdullah1117]

I like old chevy trucks 🚚
But the new chevy not good just design

[@flight2k5]

Only 10000 pounds? New trucks are around 14. This is a kids toy.

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

times have sure changed

[@joshuafontana8699]
