Looking in East Tennessee
 

I've been lurking for a while now but have been lusting after this 67-72 body style truck for quite a bit longer. I have a 70 model corvette that I bought around 99 or so. I've touched every nut and bolt on that one over the years some more than once. It's had LS power since around 06. Power Rack and pinion, 5 speed, leather, black on black with a black cloth top and black hard top. That car will drive anywhere. It's been a ton of fun. I am now wanting to pick up one of these trucks to see what I can do with it. I can do just about anything wrenching that needs to be done. It's metal work I am inexperienced at and looking at most everything available, at a decent price, is gonna need some lovin. My wife says I need to build a garage first before buying the truck. I believe she is onto something there.

Yes a big garage would be a (Plus).
You are in the right place.
There is lots of knowledge here.
And also lots of parts for sale here on the forum.

Thanks for the welcome Getter Done. I'll probably be looking for some parts when the time comes. I will definately be picking the collective brains for some more information in the meantime.

Reviving an old thread.

I just last Thursday, 5-22-25, picked up new to me 1970 C10 CST. It's an clean slate. Someone started blew it apart, started working on it and lost interest. There are several missing pieces. Hopefully I haven't bitten off more than I can handle.

BTW, if you read the top part of the post, I am finishing up my 30x40 garage project and the "new" truck is already parked inside.

Re: Looking in East Tennessee
 

Hopefully we will run into each other at some point. I try to make Lenoir City's Cars and Coffee. Looks like the next one is June 21st.

Are you planning to visit SETN in Lebanon this year?

Re: Looking in East Tennessee
 

I had to Google. I had no idea it was going on. Is it just a show or are there vendors? I am just a little south of the 40/75 split. So it's a couple hour ride for me.

My 402 BBC engine in 67, came from a 70 CST short bed..

Re: Looking in East Tennessee
 

I'm planning on going, weather permitting.
Will you have your Vette there? If so I will look for you, be happy to meet you in person!
I will have this C10 or one of my Blazers

945 E Baddour Pkwy, Lebanon, TN 37087 is the Location.

This is The Best Show (IMHO) in the area.:chevy::chevy::chevy:

1700 trucks registered and Vendor spots are Full.

It will be worth the ride. :metal:

Dwayne
I'm going to try and get over there this year.
I'm a little reluctant to pre-register because several shows that I did, got rained out.(C10s in the valley and hurricane Helene)
Do you know if it will be possible to register at the gate on the day(s) of the show?
Thanks
Whit

July 1st is the cutoff date if it doesn't sell out first.:chevy::chevy::chevy:

Re: Looking in East Tennessee
 

Looks like it is going to be a nice day tomorrow. I'll be there but without the vette. It's got a gas leak somewhere I have to find before I get it out again. Are you going to be there? I'll try to look you up in the morning.
