I'm on board!

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

That's a good old truck! I'm sure your going to have fun!

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

Me too! After watching iron canine's build this has got to be slick

You're a lucky 16 year old

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

Heck yeah! My first truck when I turned 16 was my '70. Still have it, and she takes up a space in my garage. My new truck stays outside haha.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

I have the exact same steering wheel, only without the leather wrap. Yours must have been sandalwood color originally, like mine. All the plastic cracked and disintegrated.

Looks like a very nice start for a project!

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

My first truck was a new 1979 chevy square body-- plane jane, 3ott, with a i6. But it was a blast to drive. You will always have memories of your first truck,

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

Nice! What do you guys have in mind? Here is my leaf spring truck with a DJM flip in the rear and ECE disc conversion spindles and 2" springs in the front. 66k miles and all original otherwise.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

I'm in good luck with the build looks like a nice start

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

We are in the process of looking for parts right now. We are comparing prices between year one, brothers, south Kentucky classics, LMC, & Ecklers

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

If you need any sheetmetal ,dont forget NsaneHotrods ,a vendor here on site and he always gives members a 10 % discount but right now is doing 15% .

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

We are currently trying decide on how we want to start the truck.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

Put you a bench seat in that thing and keep the manual shift. Manuals are going out fast so having one puts a man in a class of his own.

When you start dating, you'll understand why I advised getting a bench seat. :ito:

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

We still have the original bench seat, but if his mom sees this post we will have to go with just one bucket seat.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

:lol: And she might be right..........just one bucket seat might be best. :lol:

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

This will be fun so I am tagging along.

Looks like a great truck to start with.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

Only one bucket seat will leave too much room for other risky business .

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

When you guys get done comparing replacement parts vs price vs fit etc would you post your results? I'm curious.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

We finally had time this weekend to disassemble part of the truck. We took of the front fenders & took out the carpet on the inside.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

The passenger floor isn't too bad, but the drivers side is going to need a floor pan.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
 

I also started to clean parts. We are using electrolysis to clean the hood hinge.
