High-rollin’ 4X4 pickups had America’s attention as the Eighties dawned, but by mid-decade lean-and-mean street trucks slammed close to the ground captured the spotlight. Revell’s ’77 Chevy Street Truck celebrates this unforgettable era, combining the Bowtie-brand’s classic “squarebody” design with Eighties-style modifications including a Tuned-Port Injected 350 V-8 with wild side-exit exhaust and a custom front roll pan, along with period-perfect Champ 500 wheels and California-style decals.

The Chevrolet C/K is a series of trucks that was manufactured by General Motors from the 1960 to 2002 model years. Marketed by both the Chevrolet and GMC divisions, the C/K series encompassed a wide range of vehicles. While most commonly associated with pickup trucks, the model line also included chassis-cab trucks and medium-duty trucks and served as the basis for GM full-size SUVs. Through its entire production, the model line competed directly against the Ford F-Series and the Dodge D series (later the Dodge Ram pickup).
Used for both the model branding and the internal model code, "C" denoted two-wheel drive, while "K" denoted four-wheel drive. Four generations of the C/K series were produced, including the GM monikered second-generation "Action Line" and third-generation "Rounded Line" vehicles (colloquially aka Square-Body trucks). For the fourth-generation (colloquially also known as OBS trucks), Chevrolet kept using the C/K designation while GMC revised its branding, changing to a singular GMC Sierra nameplate (C/K remained as an internal model code).
For South America, the model line was manufactured by General Motors de Argentina from 1960 to 1978, Sevel Argentina from 1986 to 1991, and General Motors Brazil, who produced versions of the model line for Brazil, Argentina, and Chile from 1964 to 2001.
As GM entered the 1990s, the company revised its truck ranges, replacing the medium-duty C/K trucks with the Chevrolet Kodiak/GMC TopKick for 1990. For 1999, GM replaced the fourth-generation C/K pickup trucks with an all-new model line; in line with GMC, Chevrolet dropped the C/K nameplate (in favor of a singular Chevrolet Silverado nameplate). Initially marketed with its successor, the final C/K pickup trucks were produced for the 2000 model year. From 2001 to 2002, the final vehicles of the C/K model line were medium-duty chassis cab trucks.
The third-generation C/K was introduced for the 1973 model year. Designated the "Rounded Line" generation by General Motors, the C/K grew in size inside and out. As pickup trucks increased in use as personal vehicles, cab features and options moved closer in line with GM sedans (with power windows and power door locks becoming options). To further expand its practicality, a four-door crew cab body was introduced (offering 6-passenger seating).
While relatively straight-lined and boxy in appearance (leading to their "square-body" nickname from the public[2]) the Rounded Line trucks were the first generation of the C/K to be designed with the use of computers and wind tunnels, optimizing the exterior shape for lower drag and improved fuel economy. The chassis was an all-new design (with all trucks receiving a leaf-spring rear suspension); K-Series trucks moved to all-wheel drive (shift-on-the-fly 4×4 was introduced for 1981).
Alongside the introduction of the four-door crew cab, the third generation C/K marked the introduction of a dual rear-wheel pickup truck ("Big Dooley"). For 1978, the C/K became the first American full-size pickup truck sold with a diesel engine (a 5.7L Oldsmobile diesel V8); a 6.2L diesel V8 was introduced for 1982. This generation also marks the first use of the Chevrolet Silverado nameplate (in use for Chevrolet full-size trucks today).
The Rounded Line generation is the longest-produced version of the C/K model line, produced for 18 model years. For 1987, it was renamed the R/V series (to accommodate the fourth-generation C/K marketed alongside it) and was gradually phased out through the 1991 model year. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
True Artists can make an old kit look great.
I built this model in 80's-90's and i still have it.
That Squarebody Stepside Chevy Model Kit Would Be Neat Idea As Pro Street Drag Truck Build
That Chevy Street truck came out looking amazing! Excellent!
I had those wheels on a 76 Nova. American Racing Wheels "Gamblers"... good to see them in this kit.
Cool as always 🛻👍
This is the hot rod magazine street chevy truck with tpi option and tinted glass, also this is the billy carter billy beer truck with parts omitted. Its nice to see to see it out again

1958's #1 TV show AND record ! ! !
Dig this 77 Chevy truck kit. Thanks for another fun build, Chris - snap snap !
Nice looking build. You did a great job on this one. Nice color choices. Thanks for sharing.
I see this kit as my chance to rebuild the Ice Patrol Chevy from the late 70's. Seems very similar...
Looks great - love the color you chose. Always appreciate all the tips you give on these.
Glad you like them!
Another great build Chris, it looks awesome.
That’s the heartbeat years
Less rounds bigger caliber, small caliber more rounds! ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO CHRIS! So many tinted windshields today everywhere i go 🤷🏻♂️ tinted headlight covers too
Nice build Chris! This is a great kit for a beginner, but also a great starting point for someone who wants to get creative go all out. It was re-issued in the 2000's as a Basic Builder.
I built the Hot Rod Issue over 30 years ago and it still looks great.
Love it Chris! Wonderful build.
I really like that truck Chris! Well done! Mine is pre ordered! 😎👍
This build is actually pretty good and I am interested in building this kit eventually, but I kind of wished they rereleased their Thunderbird SC instead
I'm modifying a 4x4 version into a 2wd to match my '79 I've had for 25 years. Robbed parts from 4 kits so far to do it. Just need some chrome cragers now
Which kits did you use to get the 2wd parts? I bought a '60 Chevy pickup kit to use/modify the parts from, but was curious what you were using. Thanks
I cut the upper and lower A arms and spindles off of a 55 chevy model I had and cut the lift blocks off the rear leaf springs it came with to get the ride height. Now it has the right rake
I started with 78 gmc big game kit for fleetside bed. The 76 chevy sport for the grill and few other parts and engine from the sod buster kit. Sorry the front end is from 56 Belair kit not a 55
@@frankonthetank3796 thanks! Not sure if you've seen it, but there is a seller on shapeways that sells a correct grille for the '77-'79 trucks in 1/24.
@@JoslinModels I haven't seen that. Thanks for the info
Super nice stepside!
Nice looking truck Chris! Tasteful custom look. Looks like something I’d like to add to my collection. 😎
Very nice truck and paint. Keep up the great work and love the video and review. Have a great day!!!
have the forgetting problem often--hear thats a sign of "old age"
Hey Chris that’s awesome build I can’t wait for it to be available at modelroundup I’m currently working on a Belvedere I get it done I will send you some pictures of it keep up the awesome videos
Now I recall an earlier release of this kit - I had a copy of Revell's 1993 catalogue and this truck was in a set with a racing powerboat and trailer, and I think there was another variant of it as well elsewhere in the line up. However, it's always nice to see the old kits come back, especially if some of the features that definitely wouldn't fly now have been upgraded.
Awesome another kit re-poped for the 20th time!!! Oh oh but wait it has new tooled wheel's... No way and new Decal's as well!!!
Looks great. I never liked the Corvette style roll pan that was originally in the kit, but I think they should have left it in there in case someone else did.
Bet you have some Ramada Inn bath towels too. 😁
Great job Chris. Good to have you back from your travels. I'm sorry that Revell kit is lacking so much. You would think those details would have been remedied by now.
Nice build
Awesome build lv it
Gotta get it !!!
Straight axle for drag racing, rat rod . Sunroof looks ok but should be an option. Other than that it’s a cool truck.
The wheels are Centerline Champ 500's, This used to be the Revell Hot Rod Magazine Truck.
That's asweet looking truck Chris. I really like that Star Spangled Blue. I used it on a couple of my own cars. You're in good with round2. Ask them if the could make licenses plate decals for Iowa. The county's I would like to see would be Black Hawk and Pottawatomi counties.
Great job .love it
Your rear fenders are on backwards that groove you mentioned goes toward the back.
TY
The tire tree. Chris your a nut. I still laughing at that.
They should have updated the front axel and engine
This is about a kit I'd like to see if they have it, a 72 grand Prix Hurst edition. Did they make the kit if do you think they would, and also would like to see the 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 K1500 regular cab short bed
Chris, if they re-release you, will you come with new parts?🤪😜🤣
I order most of my supplies from MegaHobby, I gotta be overlooking something. Probably because I've never used it before, you mention it quite often decal sealer. Can you give me manufacturer and what it's called.
I have a question. Will the cab of this truck work with the truck bed of the Big Game Country kit? I've been trying to find a "Scottsdale cab with the Scottsdale emblem on it and this would work perfectly if this kit and the Big Game /country kit could be kitbashed. Please let me know. Thanks!
They are 2 different scales. So no they won't
You can use the cab from the Chevy Sport pickup. The truck on the box is a metallic red brown/bronze color. Revell 85-4486
@@JoslinModels still 2 different scales
@@deutschland6022 the big game pickup and the Chevy Sport pickup are both 1/24 scale
@@JoslinModels ya sorry. I thought he wanted to use the 1/25 scale bed. I just read his comment again
Ive been wanted to ask you forever. How do you decide what subassemblies can be assembled before paint? Thanks for the content.
I build so many that it's second nature, but test fitting helps me know what I can glue first and paint and what should wait until final fitments.
Sheez, I do that all the time, start doing something and then forget what the hell I’m doing, damn I hate that too! But I’m an old man Chris, I have 18 years on you. Just saying…… it’s a “B” getting old!!
Thats funny.. You are living in a time zone there in Wisconsin..!! Mullets and What on the girls?
Crispy bangs. The ones held up with a bottle of aquanet.
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@hpiguy- mullets are back in style…the bangs not so much 😂
Hi
Hello!
GM still sticks with those rectangular wheel well openings on their pick-ups...
A good looking style choice never goes out of style. Dont fix what isn't broken. I mean, all new cars and trucks are ugly as hell but eh, some are far worse than others. I mean, have you seen the new titans?
This must be A Real Rare Set or theirs A Shortage because I sure haven’t seen one
Too bad that front axle always breaks.
Both axles look undersized.
The dents in the mirrors look like there are some missing chrome parts that should mount on them to represent the glass. Revell where are they?
They're in a bottle of silver paint😂
@@JimFlanagan4206 😆
Why would they have the sunroof already cut out? Who would put a straight axle and leaf springs under the front of a lowrider?
Its an old outdated kit. I have seen some super low straight axle cars but its the old 50s trucks and some high boy roadsters. Not a fan of the sun roofs though.
This truck would look great over the pulled pork 78 blazer pulling truck
Cool kit! Maybe cut the roof off and make it a convertible
I first built this kit in 88 it hasn't changed at all.
I would like to see a stock shortwide kit.
it is not a bad kit i am not impressed by the engine i would do a after market engine
Last 10 minutes of video went black could not see finish of build.
No problems here. CZcams sometimes does that and you have to close the video and reopen it.
i am not really impressed by this kit watching you build this kit and the problems you had with assembbly i will not waste my money buying this kit poor quality revell
Nice build
