Well, I am a few months away from taking possession of my new 1970 C10 LWB. But I wanted to go ahead and start a build thread.
So the truck was bought new by my Papaw in 1970. He had his own carpentry business doing flooring. So this was bought as a work truck for sure. But he took great care of it. It is 100% original with the exception of the paint. It was repainted, factory color, at some point.
It has a SBC 350 and 3spd auto trans. Motor was rebuilt in either 94 or 99. My dad told me but I don't recall when for sure. Since then, it has had about 9000 miles put on it.
I wont take possession of if for a few months as it is still at my dads.
Once I have it will become my DD. So some stuff has to happen.
My plans for it aren't really that grand.
Disk brake conversion in the front.
Wheel Vintique Ralleye in 15x7 with 4" BS. Painted white with chrome baby moons.
3 point seat belt
AC
Air ride
and fix all the little odds and ends along the way.
Anyway, so here are some pics of it. There are some minor rust spots under the paint and small dings here and there. But I think it's in great shape.
