Vintage Video Thread
I know we've got links scattered about, but beyond the trucks in movies thread, I'm not aware of one that consolidates marketing or promotional films about our trucks.
We've got a vintage picture thread...and since there's no better resource IMO than images or video in period...I though we should have a vintage video thread. And there are a fair few videos by Chevrolet and even comparison videos by competitors that show the trucks in some detail available on the web. So I'll kick it off with a good one. Here's 18 minutes of '72 Chevrolet promotional bliss. If you've only got a second, fast forward to the poor guy in the Bronco getting dragged backwards at 11:30... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-pxEGBHWbM

Re: Vintage Video Thread
Pretty cool old vids, except the part where they beat up new C10s lol
I live about 10 miles from the old GM proving grounds and recognize a lot of the landscape and mountains.

Re: Vintage Video Thread
Nice thread!
Here's Elvis in a red 1969 Blazer at the Houston Astrodome February 1970. Best seen about the 2 minute mark.

Re: Vintage Video Thread
This is the safety video we had to watch in my middle school shop class.
At time 2:17 there's a vignette with what looks to be a 67 3/4T Chevy Custom Camper.

Re: Vintage Video Thread
I love that '72 vs. 747 video.
Here are some Dodge promo videos comparing trucks. Gotta give em credit for playing it straight. Really great pics of a '72 Super in the first. 1972 Dodge vs. Chevy Promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU5NQG9FRxM 1971 Dodge vs. Chevy Promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JRP-5zpOGI 1970 Dodge vs. Chevy vs. Ford Promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0x6otSW7BI

Re: Vintage Video Thread
Chevy video for passenger car options in 1972 - I caught a glimpse of a Suburban at 0:57 and go-go boots at 01:47 but didn't yet watch the whole video.
Of note, the suburban has white, painted hub caps.

Okay since there is a vintage video thread, don't forget about the Chevrolet Communication box sent to the dealers for February 1970 included in that kit were these videos and records to play with them.

Re: Vintage Video Thread
Not pickups but a lot of good GM passenger vehicle assembly and tool/die work in this one:
