1970 Green Machine
Hi All. I've been a lurker for a long time now, getting great ideas from this forum while fixing up my Dad's 1970 C10. He was the ORIGINAL and ONLY owner....until now. I'm in the process of a garage restomod in the hopes of making it a daily driver with style. Here are some pics of where I'm at with it...

Re: 1970 Green Machine

Re: 1970 Green Machine
Thanks Kevin! It's a work in progress, and still tweaking the stance, but it has come a long way. Much thanks to guys like you on this forum for all the useful help.

Re: 1970 Green Machine
Thanks Lolife! It's an original AC truck, so I'd like to get that back to functional (probably with a new compressor) because these Austin, TX summers are brutal. Then, 700r4 to make it daily-driveable. It's got 3.73 posi in the rear, so an overdrive should make it behave on the freeway, yet still fun at the stoplights. I had been itching to put a short bed on it, but now that it's lowered right, I'm really warming up to the longbed.

Re: 1970 Green Machine
Got exhaust done yesterday. Didn't get a final pic of the exhaust while it was up on the lift, but in essence I used ECE shorty headers (Sanderson) and ran the pipes through the crossmember (this was a PITA to cut). Also put an H-pipe after and on top of the crossmember due to space limitations. (Aint there something sexy about a truck up on a lift?)

Re: 1970 Green Machine
Very nice truck already!
5-lug conversion, 71-72 sport mirrors, lowered suspension,... What are your plans for it?
