1970 c20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I purchased this 1970 C20 several years ago from the original owners family. The truck is original and has never been messed with. It has rust that needs fixed. I had to install a accelerator pump in the carburetor today and noticed this date code in the air cleaner.

Nice truck

**68bowtie** · 05-20-2023, 07:24 PM

I agree beautiful truck. Can we see the SPID?

I love upper trim only trucks. Also black trucks.

**Steeveedee** · 05-20-2023, 07:58 PM

Dated there is interesting thanks for sharing

**1968C30** · 05-20-2023, 08:20 PM

Thanks I really like Black with Blue interior. The build sheet was in the seat spring here is a photo of the build sheet. The build number on the top left corner the last three digits 993 is in numerous places on the truck.

Thanks Here’s a photo that shows the wheels better.they are 16.5” aluminum slots. It had the 16.5 lock ring wheels on it when I bought it. With the stainless center caps. The caps were in terrible condition someone didn’t know how to install them and they were beat all to pieces!

Nice find, always liked the look of a painted bumper. The original PO3's were actually chrome over brass, they were a notoriously soft metal, dented and cracked very easily. The stance seems a little odd for a leaf spring C 20 which normally sit higher in the rear. A leaf spring removed?

I don’t think any leafs have been removed. The tires on the rear are very big. Probably the biggest that will fit and the front tires are a size to small.
Thanks for the info on the original center caps.

WD-40 and 0000 steel wool will clean the rust on the door panel trim up nicely.

**special-K** · 05-21-2023, 07:24 AM

You never see black trucks with blue interior and it sure is a sexy combination. That truck is a perfectly done C/20. Just right. Let it be what it is, C/20s are a cool class in themselves many don't seem to get and skip over jumping from the shortbed appreciation to K/20s to 1t duallies. Just a handsome and ready looking truck with those slots. That was the very first thing I did when I got the '71 Custom Camper Cheyenne I had.

To me it looks like the front end could be up a little higher than stock, not the rear being lower. Also interesting is the build sheet was stuffed into the buddy buckets when added

Nice truck!!!

**1968C30** · 05-21-2023, 03:05 PM

Thanks for all the positive comments and feedback. The buddy buckets are not original to the truck. I had the seats and added them to the truck 😊

White looks so much better than chrome on a bumper don’t know why someone would chrome theme

**dave6672** · 05-22-2023, 07:06 AM

That's a cool looking truck just as it sits.
