I'm BACK!!!
 
5 Attachment(s)
Well after selling my 69 GMC long box a few years ago and selling ALL my parts last year, I'm back.

I got a call this afternoon from my father if I wanted to go see a vehicle with him. It's a 1970 C20 with a 396 in it. A South Carolina rebuilt truck. The seller bought it and restored it for his kids but they are not into it.

I was lucky enough to b the one top test drive it. We get back from the drive and a quick inspection and my dad made him an offer. They worked out a deal and come to find out, he bought it for me.

I can't even begin to explain how I feel, it's amazing.

Enough talking, here are some pictures.

AND since I wont have it till next weekend, this is as close as it gets to being parked in my driveway.

Just happen to have a very close replica to hold me over.

Well, just go off the phone with him. He is buying it through his company, and he just bought a 12-plex that all the units need to get redone. So I will be working off the purchase price after-hours and on weekends.
BUT, yeah, you are stuck with me and I don't plan to sell it.

Beautiful truck, so you're going to make it look like the die cast right? Dumped and big wheels is awesome!

Re: I'm BACK!!!
 
The height it is now, I'm happy with due to crappy roads around here. As for the wheels, might be nice to do.

Re: I'm BACK!!!
 
I totally understand the road situation, but it can still be a little lower and if its air ride you can just air it up for driving and run it low at a show/for show. ;)

But I love the truck either way!! Great find, happy you got it and brought it here for us to see. :metal:
