Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

A good friend of mine turned me on to this little diamond yesterday, the truck was owned by the original family for 38 years and in 08' was sold to a neighbor who drove it home never touching it again, deciding to sell it this month. It appears to be mostly stock, the 350/350 combo which is filthy :lol: runs, the moldings although faded are clean, the body (oh the body) is extremely nice (rockers and floors included), the factory tinted glass gives it that nice added touch, aftermarket AC was also added at sometime and may work. Once I get her home the fun will really start! Oh yeah!:chevy:

Nice find! Do they always cut the rear fender to put those bumpers on? We need more pics too! ;)

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Thanks, you made me jealous again! Nice score dude.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I love that green..Great Score there Buddy! Enjoy

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb

Thanks for the complements guys, and have a "Merry Christmas":chevy:





No, the bumper wraps around the fenders, I'll post more photos once I get it home.

Yes, that molding is real nice and if you look a little closer you can see the "bullseye" back up light lenses.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Wow! another nice ride for your stable. Look forward to more pictures.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

What's the deal with the bullseye up lenses? I have some of those, are they the preferred choice of back up lenses?

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Sweet, sweet, sweet,...

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I'm so jealous right now, nice score and can't wait to see what you do with it.

It sure looks like those rear quarters are cut for that cool rear bumper to fit back there. :)

I love the non-factory a/c too! Nice truck!

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I like it. :metal::metal:
Now leave the grill alone. :lol:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Yes, the early ones came with the bulls eye.

Stop reading my mind, Egg-crate! :lol:

Nah, you just get a small indention like these.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Once again I bow to the King. Wow nice score, probably means you don't have any room for Gumby anymore.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Man you are one lucky dog. Nice, nice original truck. Can't wait to see how she turns out. What did you give for it??

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Man I just sold this set on eBay for $6 :dohh: I didn't know what I had.

Sh#t, who's bowing down to who?:lol::lol::lol: Thanks Del, but Gumby not going anywhere soon he just got a new AC Delco battery, bath and a wax for Christmas, we're bonding again I think Gumby's a little jealous of the new 72' I picked up earlier in the year. Take care and please some up dates on Nacho! :metal:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Shawn, I'll tell you at Turlock.;)

What!!!! maybe I won't tell you after all.:eek:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I'm jealous, that's the exact truck I am trying to build.:chevy:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I don't blame you I'm quite upset over it myself. They came off of my 68 and I had no idea there was a difference. What is a set like that actually worth? They were in great shape for their age. Anyways we'll just have to tac on extra for the t-shirt....:banghead: Cuz I'm a dummy!!!

Can you at least post some more pics of your new find. That will make me feel better.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I can see the sign on the door "Sancho's Tree Service" Trimming.... Well you know the rest. JK :haha:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Nice find...

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

What he said:chevy::chevy:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I agree,... Ha.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Actually I was thinking more like "Moco Motors" with a hand flicking a booger off this finger, just a thought. :dig:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

LOL, just teasin buddy. I have a thing for Gumby. I'm happy it's gettin the attention it deserves. What's the plan for the 70?

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Although I would like to keep everyone that I find, everyone knows my track record, Ah...., read between the lines.;)

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

So maybe a trade for a 68 swb could be possible??????

I have one thing to say,unpolished Torque Thrusts

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Now guys, do really think I would switch 69-70 grills to 71-72 grills and take away true identities?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I'm a truck whore, anything is possible.

Unpolished? Tim :uhmk:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

These trucks just find you.....?Here i have been looking for another one and keep finding junkers..Congrats!!!

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

No..... The C/10 King would never do that :lol: Nice score on another shorty :metal:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Let me know if you want to entertain this idea any more, I would like to start with an automatic v8 truck instead of converting. Mine has a lot done just needs a heart transplant. Turlock I know. :lol:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Nice score cant wait to see what you do with it..... Looks like I need to look through my box o parts Im sure I have a few sets of super rare bullseye reverse lights hahahhahhaha

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

it looks like it was a twin to mine before my Dad wrecked it (long ago). Mine is a 70 first sold in june of 70...it was medium olive with (i think) the same interior and 350/350 combo. My dad bought it new from Giant Chevrolet in Visalia.

You sure are the man when it comes to sniffing out these jewels...

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Yeah...dull,like the rest of the truck. If you can't find crusty old ones maybe you can dump battery acid on 'em or something that likes to eat metal. Maybe bead blast. There's an art to patina. So elegant in a crusty way :lol:

Another idea would be dull driver quality wheel covers with whitewalls. But,I suggest leaving the tires somewhere dogs will pee on them so they'll uh...yellow. HEY! I said there's an art to patina,didn't I??

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

You can leave it in my yard i'm sure my dogs would gladly take care of that for you :lol: I will even make sure it gets driven ;)
