Vintage Video Thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**IronCanine** · 09-27-2020, 09:45 PM

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...

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.

Nice thread!

Here's Elvis in a red 1969 Blazer at the Houston Astrodome February 1970. Best seen about the 2 minute mark.

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.

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.

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.

GM logistics video - good assembly plant footage. Check out the lot of pickups at 0:43

**DeadheadNM** · 09-28-2020, 06:06 PM

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

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.
