How to Restore Your Chevy Truck (1973-1987) - Step-by-Step Restoration Procedures

Chevy's third-generation C/K pickups gained widespread popularity among Chevy and GMC enthusiasts, selling millions over an 18-year production run. The redesigned cab featured rounded windshield corners, a curved roof, and sloped, rounded doors. While earlier models are rarer, third-generation trucks are plentiful, increasingly collectible, and supported by readily available parts.

Chevy and GMC trucks remain highly sought after for stock restorations, street performance, and off-road builds. Before undertaking a specialty project, a solid, reliable, restored truck is essential.
This guide covers all 1973-1987 Chevy trucks - regular, Super, and Crew cabs with short or long boxes - providing detailed instruction to restore your squarebody to original condition.

Veteran truck writer Kevin Whipps presents practical techniques for home restoration. The book guides readers in inspection, assessment, and budgeting, and covers all major areas: engine, suspension, chassis, bodywork, paint, brakes, steering, transmission, driveline, electrical system, interior, and more.
Special attention is given to replacing body panels, repairing the box and cab, and achieving professional-quality paint preparation, application, and finishing.
