Author: Truck Talk Media January 30, 2023 Duration: 1:33:09

Paul Hitch was the Chief Engineer of Chevrolet Trucks from 1965 - 1976. Working for GM from 1935-1978. 

Paul turned 102 just a few months after this recording dropped. He passed away March of 2020, just after truning 103. I always enjoyed my time talking with Paul, and I will be forever greatful for his friendship, and that I was able to share that with you all! 

Paul shares some great knowledge with us about the trucks, the history and his career. 

His son Doug Hitch sits in on this one as well. 

There is also some recordings I had with Paul after this initial pod, so listen until the end. I hope you enjoy this Re-Pod, as I always enjoy hearing Paul's story - The GREATEST Generation! 

 


For enthusiasts of a specific classic American workhorse, C10 Talk digs into the world where vintage steel meets modern passion. This podcast, produced by Truck Talk Media, is a dedicated space for owners, builders, and admirers of the iconic Chevrolet C10 pickup. Each episode connects with the people who keep these trucks on the road and in the spotlight, exploring the technical challenges of restoration, the evolving aftermarket parts scene, and the stories behind both stock beauties and radically customized builds. The conversation always circles back to the shared knowledge and camaraderie that defines this niche. You'll hear interviews with builders pushing the limits of fabrication, discussions on sourcing the right parts for an authentic or upgraded look, and deep dives into the model's history and its enduring cultural impact. More than just a technical guide, the podcast serves as an audio hub for the C10 community, celebrating the trucks not just as vehicles but as canvases for personal expression and mechanical ingenuity. Tune in for practical advice, project inspiration, and the distinct sound of a community fueled by grease, gasoline, and genuine enthusiasm.
