According to the road signs and buildings, the Silver's truck pass-by at 6:18 to 6:27 was filmed at the intersection of Fort Street (M-85, a sign proclaiming so is one of the visible signs) and King Road in Trenton, Michigan, with the truck heading south on Fort. The first visible building was the old Vulcan Mold factory that was torn down in 2006, the second is what is today a Kerkstra Precast facility.
Great trucks! I spent a lot of time in the late 70's driving a Chevy C65 with a 24 foot stake body. It only had the tried and true 350 V8 and man did that thing have to work overtime!
God damn, I wish I could go back in time and just buy up every last square body Chevrolet and GMC C-series Truck and just basically horde them all in a giant steel building as a private collection/museum. Though they wouldn't be put on static display, I'd drive one or two of them once a day every now and then just to keep seals good on the engines.
Great trucks, I started driving in '88 and we had C70's with the 8.2L/Allison and a Kodiak with a 3208/Road Ranger 13 speed, great trucks. Only complaint was the air ride seats in the C70's, hit my head every bump, not made for someone 6'5"!
They still are. A lot of them are still running and still being put to work even over 40 years later after first rolling off of the assembly line brand new (I'm referring to the 1973-74 model Chevrolet/GMC C-series that shared the same body style as the 1980 models).
My dad's buddy was an engineer at General Motors during this time, and the heads at GM told him they built their vehicles to break down at a certain point, otherwise they wouldn't make any money on newer models each year...
I've seen a couple of them, but they're definitely rare! One of them was hiding behind an old grocery store and looked like it hadn't moved in at least 20 years.
The nose design on the school bus didn't change to the same as the ones on the other medium duty models until 1985 which was why it still had the previous design.
I always loved our '75 C60 with a 350 in it. Was great more than enough power on the farm, but there was nothing economical about it. The only thing that was worse were the same ish year Ford F700's my grandpa had. You couldn't pour the gas out of a can faster that it burned it and most of the energy went to making noise as they were gutless
it's a good motor, I'm a big truck guy, love GM,. and my father and I both have 350s in our cars, mine an 81 Vette and his a 67 Camaro! sounds awesome, both more suited to cars more so than the big trucks!
+JOSE RAFAEL GRANGE FUENMAYOR si son muy bellos, en Argentina siguen circulando por carretera y los cargan con 30 toneladas, porque ese es el limite de carga aqui. :D Yo quedo facinado cuando veo uno por aqui.

@@mikecubes1642 I've heard that too lol, good motors but no cyl sleeves , so it's got it's pros and cons. the one motor I never knew they offered was the 225 Cummins, I've yet to find a rig with one, so I guess they are rare, I've also heard that motor was not that great! I'd take a 3208 over the Detroit though!
Jesus H. 200hp's from an 8.2 Turbo Diesel V8 an Isuzu 6.5L 6 cylinder turbo / NA diesel of the same era has more power than that! 😂 160-200hp's can give more MPG's as well.
@@jasperdomacena6491 I have an Naturally asperated 8.2L in a 1983 Chevrolet b60 with a 42 passenger bluebird body and on a 2 day drive I was able to achieve 19MPG with a head wind at 45-55mph and 22mpg on the return drive at 60mph.
