I like all chevy trucks, but to me the 73-79 chevy's are my FAVORITE, Although that body style is from 73-87, the front end kind of got ruined in 81 when they switched to the vertical mounted rectangle headlights, 80 is very similar to 73-79 but with more rectangular headlights, same grille basically. Also the front fenders are better from 73-80 because of the rounded curve that seperates the 2-tone. Ahh chevy's they are the best.
you dont have tell me the bird is the word. i gotta say thay not only look good. thay sound even better!!. i just put 2 on a 94 crown vic thenk i gave about $80 for the set. and $800 for the vic. take a look at my video part1 and 2. i hope thursh sends flow master to the poor house.
wow she is a beauty, my dad had a 79 scottsdale crew cab with a long bed, i loved it so much, he had a 454 in it tho and man was it fun to ride in, after he passed someone stoled it and i never seen it again, you got a real nice truck man,
@evanizakoolkat sounds nice, they are also pretty cheap to build in any respect as long as you don't crazy. I have two of them. One is on here if you look up 1978 c10 w/355 and there is two videos, one open headers and one with exhaust. I have a '77 and between the two I am going to have one awesome hot rod truck again awesome ride!
@evanizakoolkat sounds good, and to the guy you said should buy another 73-87 i completely agree. Cheap to buy, cheap to build if you keep it within reason. I have two a '77 and '78. One is a hot rod truck and the other is going to be one. The '78 is on here if you look up 1978 c10 w/355. One video is open headers and the other is with exhaust. The truck is light blue.
Sounds awesome, i have a 1980 K10 with glasspacks but i wanted to put Thrush welded mufflers on and i think this video just made it official lol thank you! Truck looks real nice! you dont have a body lift on there do you?
@evanizakoolkat sweet, im actually just going to put the same lift in my truck, rough country 6inch. Was it hard to do? what was the hardest and most time consuming part? thanks man
@discot315 the hardest part of the whole lift was getting the steering arm to come off. it was practically welded to the cones. besides that it's pretty straight forward. Don't cut corners get your driveshafts lengthened and brake lines lengthened to.
@1979chevyk10 Alright, yeah it took so long to get the steering arm off now the nut and cones are done and I cant find somewhere that can get new ones lol and Yeah I have the longer brake lines and im replacing ball joins, u joints, park brake cable etc while im at it and have it apart.

The color is from PPG paints. Shop-Line mixing scheme.
It is Sunbird Orange Met.
Brand Code: 61536
Main Layer: 61536
We painted the beast ourselves. It's a pretty cool color. In the sun the flakes really come out and it pops. On cloudier days its more of a dark orange.
Rough Country is a good kit. I ride this truck pretty hard and have yet to have anything go wrong. It all depends on how much your willing to pay. Companies like BDS offer complete lifetime warranties for about triple the price. I ended up paying about $600 for this kit a few months back and another $150 to have the front and rear drive shafts lengthened. I also spent about another $175 dollars on various parts like extended brake lines ect. Buy based on what you can afford.
The drone is not that bad at all. It has to do a lot with the insulation and padding we have in the truck. The floor rusted out a few years back and we put in fiberglass to solve the problem. When we put the carpet back we laid in 1/2 inch noise deadening foam along with molded carpet. You can hear the engine obviously but it really isn't as bad as you'd expect it to be. The tires are louder than the damn exhaust when your indie the cab.
what do you mean in the title that the thrush is welded ?

how loud is the drone going down the road? i like the sound outside but drive 3-400 miles to some of my fishing spots. droning exhaust gets old.
