In this video, which is the 4th episode in the series, the C10/K10 Blazer will be the topic! This new series from the guys at Auto Revolution is pretty darn cool! If you ever wondered how the C10 trucks you know and love came to be so influential in the custom truck and hot rod scene, and how the builders you know and love got to be who they are, then this is a series you are going to want to watch.
It sounds funny, but there are ton of people that don’t even know that the 60-66 models are the first C10s. They think the 1967-1972 was the first, and some forget that the Squarebody is also a C10. I own a couple of Squarebodys and as everyone knows they are incredibly popular. Not only that, they are actually the last C10 bodystyle. After 1987, with the OBS body style, the moniker changed and they were no longer called a C10. Watch this latest episode, tell us which of the three C10 generations are your favorite, and then get out there and get yourself a new C10 project truck.

Video Description:
Auto Revolution’s Influence & Impact traces the automotive history of custom car and truck builders.
The off-road or hot rod younger brother to the C-10 truck, the Blazer is explored. The Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy are based on one of the most versatile platforms for adventuring families, racers, and off-road mudders alike.
As the C-10 craze grew, so did the Blazer seeing many turn them into roadster-inspired hot rod trucks as well. GM has squandered the Blazer name in the 1990s, with the smaller SUVs taking the name and the CK truck-based Tahoes becoming the most popular.
Recently, the Blazer name was brought back, not to compete with the new Ford Bronco, but as a mini crossover SUV that was more a rental car than an off-road rig or hot rod truck.
Continuing the Chevrolet/GMC truck history is our dive into the OBS, 88-98 CK trucks, starting with the Sport Truck movement in the next episode.
