Hello from Australia, "new" 1970 Lomghorn owner - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all,

As the title says, I have a 1970 C20 "Longhorn" coming to me soon, did the deal earlier today, just arranging transport to get it home.

It a 73,000ml truck. Sold new in CA, lived its whole life there with one owner, have all original paperwork, sales slips, registration papers, it still has current California registration.

Factory 350 V8
4 speed.
Power brakes
Air Con
Radio

I cant wait to get hold of it, my first "truck", I also have a 62 Cadillac Sedan and a 65 Galaxie Convertible with 390 in the garage, so a working toy will be fun.

It will be used for towing and playing.

Welcome
Nice looking Truck.
I like it.
Do you get Am stations on the radio in Australia?
Or do you like listening to the 350(sbc) Tunes

We still have many AM stations, mostly play rubbish, but some are ok.
Unfortunatly I think it has an aftermarket head unit, dash doesn't look too cut up, so maybe I can get a retro style with Bluetooth etc that will fit.

I will be my first "Small Block" in quite a few years, all my current classics have their factory Big Blocks.

I missed out on a 78 camper special C20 last month, similar condition with a factory 454 and Auto, but I think this one will be a great toy.
