70 C10 Shorty

Howdy from Texas! I just bought a 70 C10 Shorty step side truck. I plan on building it along with my son. No engine or trans... was 6 cyl. 3 speed, but plan on finding big block donor to use. I am new to this forum and have already found so much info on rebuilding. We are really looking forward to getting started!

Fun project, a good way to spend some time with junior. Congrats and welcome. It's got a seat out of a Highlander in it.

Re: 70 C10 Shorty

Looks like a good start. I wonder what they did for the grill on that. Looks like it has 71/72 bumper and grill with a special inner grill from who knows?

Re: 70 C10 Shorty

not sure on the grill... it has something riveted on the original with a 71/72 bumper. Not a real good job on that one . That will have to change.
