69 CST/10 finally cleaned up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bubbalud1 · 04-19-2016, 09:46 PM

I posted a message awhile ago about a '69 CST/10, 8/350 long bed Truck. It has been sitting in a garage for the last 30 years. the key was missing so we finally got one made and it started right up. Got it outside and cleaned/polished it up and it looks great! It is all original including paint with 16,600 original miles. It's got a 350 4V engine. and some other items that makes us think it was a special order Truck. Power Steering, original radio that works fine! We have the clean title. Not a spec of rust anywhere and the underside has been sealed up. We are putting a new fuel pump on it tomorrow night because it has a slight leak.
I am going to post some pictures including the build sheet under the glove box lid. also will post a video tomorrow night.
Please let me know your thoughts because we really have no solid idea what it is worth. I posted my maximum 5 pictures below but have many more

Thanks again for your time

Looks good! Just hit "post reply" and you can add more pics.

That looks like another member's truck. John H I think?

WOW, that's a winner right there!. Perfect just as it sits. Good luck with it

frenchy51 · 04-20-2016, 08:03 AM

Awesome truck!

Tuff Gong · 04-20-2016, 02:11 PM

Wowwwwww!

67ChevyRedneck · 04-20-2016, 02:32 PM

Oh my... NICE!

I even like the color.

I think the board member with a similar truck is "john @ the pier" or something like that.

35boulder · 04-20-2016, 02:54 PM

Looks like a keeper to me!

dakattack7 · 04-20-2016, 02:59 PM

The grille is an early replacement.. Don't know what it means but!

How can you tell that?

68panelman · 04-20-2016, 07:46 PM

Exactly, I can pan on any picture, and the grill looks dark, doesn't determine year though...

djeCST · 04-20-2016, 08:01 PM

That's a great looking truck.

Check out this thread. I can tell because the area outside the parking lights is stamped different and not painted.

The inner grill is also a '70/replacement type where it is black with the raised portions silver. I can't see the raised portions obviously, but a 69 grille is noticeably different when it is the correct silver.

**Joesjunk** · 04-20-2016, 10:37 PM

Wow, awesome find!

yuccales · 04-20-2016, 11:25 PM

Very nice rig!

Ken B · 04-21-2016, 06:49 AM

Man that thing is mint!

RyansToy · 04-21-2016, 07:20 AM

New to Chev guy...

What does 4V indicate? I am assuming 4 valve is incorrect... is it the 4 bolt mains?

A popular "modification" back in the day was to spray paint the inner grill black. Iam not trying to differ with you, but I couldn't say it's a replacement based on these pictures.

4v, haven't heard that for a while. On a carburetor there are little ports called Venturis. if you have 4 bbl carb you'd have 4 Venturis or a 4V engine which is another way 4 bbl carbs were described. If my memory serves me right Ford engines in the 60/70's would have on top of their air cleaner 400 4V or 302 2V etc. Now Google Venturi to see what it is and does..
