Here is my truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

turnman1970 · 09-07-2009, 01:22 PM

Hello, I am new to this board and would like to show y'all the truck that was passed down to me from my grandpa who had it for 20 years. My grandpa started getting too old to drive and the truck sat in his backyard for 5 years where it got hailed on which made it look pretty rough. It is a 1970 longbed. I am 17 years old and drive it everyday to highschool. It also happens to be the oldest vehicle there. I don't have many good pictures and most of them are from when I first started working on it. I will try to get some better ones as soon as I can.

All of those pictures except the first one are from when I first moved it to my house. It looks a lot better now.

Wow!... Where'd you get that headliner from?

turnman1970 · 09-07-2009, 05:07 PM

Thanks for the good comments everyone. The headliner was done before my grandpa bought the truck so I don't know where it was done at. I like it a lot.

welcome from Iraq,

truck looks great but you might want to change the fuel filter she looks a little dirty

turnman1970 · 09-07-2009, 06:08 PM

I've changed it out since that picture was taken

**70cst** · 09-07-2009, 06:51 PM

from Ohio and

to the finest site about 67-72 Chevy Trucks. Personally I like 1970 Chevy Trucks best.

That would have nothing to do with the fact I own a 70

LWB. It is neat your truck was handed down to your from your grandpa.

Oh yes...nice lookin truck.

Indyuke · 09-07-2009, 07:42 PM

Welcome from Washington State! Where'd the tailgate come from, if you don't mind me asking.

turnman1970 · 09-07-2009, 10:27 PM

The tailgate has been like that as long as the truck has been in my family. I imagine the previous owner just shaved the original tailgate

72BlckButy · 09-07-2009, 10:41 PM

Great looking truck, and welcome to the board!
