The reason Im here
Over the weekend a opertunity came that couldnt be passed up. My neighbor offerd me his truck for $500. Not just any truck, a 1969 Chevy CST/10.
   He was gonna sell it online for 2 grand, but would rather it be in my hands. Its at his friends house now, were towing it home on saturday. No engine or trans, but the body is straight, and dent free. Just rusted at the rocker pannels, but its not like thats uncommon, and classicparts.com has replacements for 20 bucks. The interior is rough. Its a short bed, long cab configuration. And its the rare CST/10. Only 2000 were made in '70, so I assume the figures are the same, if not less for the 69. He offered it friday afternoon, check it out that night, was grilled about responisbility all weekend, pulled all my cash from the bank sunday, bought it that night. I was gonna do a GMC Jimmy, but this is something you cant pass up. Things todo: -Already have a EFI 350 small block from like a 96 Tahoe? -Possibly a 700R4 Transmission, its the one my dad had in storage. -Its Harley-Davidson Orange, and in good shape. Just really needs to be washed. -all the works to make the engine run, and legal. -some trim pieces around the tail lights and tail gate are gone. No big deal -Painting those farm-truck-white rims black. -disk brakes upfront This is my 1st truck, and a project with my dad for a next year or so. |

Re: The reason Im here
Lol, Ill put the trailer mirrors back on, but the farm truck white has to go black.
Thanks dudes for the warm welcome. And the name is to pick out the idiots when people try to flame, only a low person would attempt to be witty and use my name against me, works quite well.

Re: The reason Im here
Nice truck and great deal!!! I just got back from Iraq and bought a 69 C10 that I am restoring as well, not cheap or easy. Hard to find parts around Fort Hood.
