I saw one of the Silverado SS trucks like this on the road today, black also. I’ve never owned one but think they’re cool 😎 trucks. I’ve heard they trailer tow good.

But.... 67 -72 and the 88 - 98 (or 99... I don't keep up with when the body style changed) are still the best looking trucks GM ever made.

Hello Lynn,

I actually learned to drive on the farm when I was thrown behind the wheel of a 72 C10 pickup. A black one that I will never forget as I loved wheeling it around the yard and throughout the field. I've owned many GM trucks from 78 on up, but have always wanted a 71/72, just never found the right one...until now.

You're right...up here I really don't need A/C, but may add it if I ever decide to tear right into this one. Right now I am still assessing what I have and the 400 that's in it is looking really stout at the moment. I'll clean up some hoses, redo the pullies and remount a few things to clean it up some, and then I'll wait for some warmer weather so I can get out and torque on it to see just what this thing is capable of. It's setup with a tow hitch and I have a couple trailers so I'll also see how it pulls as well.

If it's good, then I will simply tweak whatever it needs to get it where I would like to have it. One thing is for sure, I'll be bagging some miles on this one as I have always wanted to drive a 50 year old classic truck as my daily. Was always jealous of the guys who drive these old classic 70's trucks around town during the week. Now I'll see if it suits me. :-)

Not a "classic" per se, but one of these will definitely be my next daily driver.

I daily'd a 93 Typhoon when they were new. Drove it probably 3 years if I remember right. Fun little truck.

Funny that came up, a guy in town dailys a Syclone. I see it all the time all over town.

I had a '81 K5 Blazer w/350 that was a good solid truck IMO, except the gas mileage was terrible. That thing would get 10-12 MPG either climbing a mountain pass or coasting down it. Basically the mileage never changed.

mssl72 02-07-2025 08:29 PM

I had a 1977 K5 Blazer with full time 4 wheel drive 350, auto. I miss that truck. It was my daily driver when I lived on the East coast. It went through just about anything, mud, snow, streams, etc. It was easy to work on when you climb into the engine compartment and sit on the inner fender. I wish I still had it except thanks to the NY winters it was too rotted. I'd love to find another at some point in time.

I daily drove this 92 for 10 years. It was "slightly" modified (turbo, exhaust,fueling)

Nothing could beat it between stop lights. Went 7.68@90 local 1/8th

I restored this 1986 K10. 383 with a turbo 400 and 3.73 gears on 33inch tires with a 3 inch lift. It rides a little too stiff for me to drive it every day with my back troubles. It gets a lot of attention when I get it out....esp. the small children, they love it.

All nice trucks. I had a '67 short bed fleetside and a '68 short bed fleetside, both with wood beds. Sold the '68 a few months ago and am relegated to the Peewee leagues. A 2005 Colorado 5-speed 4x4 is my daily driver. I like it and the MPG is an improvement, but different than a "real" truck.

Peewee truck, never heard that one. LOL 😂.

I ran across a few pictures of my truck sitting alongside my Z. This had to be mid 80s. You can see the rot in the truck from winter driving. Sniff... did I say I REALLY miss that truck (except for the rot). It had 33s on it and a 31 gallon tank too. You can see part of the 4 ton Walker jack in 1 picture. I picked it up at a gas station auction. Weighed a ton itself. I managed to get it into the trunk of my '64 Chevy II to transport home.

I daily'd an 89 K5 Blazer about now 20 years ago ... wow it seems like yesterday. I've attached a photo I believe of it that I walked by at goodguys 2 years ago, the owner was not around to try and verify. Albeit I sold it with ralleys.

I've also attached a photo of my latest C10 roller acquired, it's pretty darn clean

My 97 Z71 was my daily for a few years before I put it in storage.

Just finishing up the last few mods here as I prep this old bear to become my daily driver for the summer. Since arriving last month, I have upgraded quite a few items to make the truck safer, and more reliable. It's almost ready to go out for new exhaust next...but waiting on a couple last minute parts to come in. That and wait for this latest round of spring snow to start melting (we just got dumped on with 12" yesterday).

Enjoy the video if you like these classic GM trucks.:biggthumpup:
