Here are the pics of my new 70 c-10 lwb 350. I hope to turn it into a real eye catcher. This is my first project truck and being 17 I open to any adice or feedback,

. I want to go with 17" torg thrust wheels, a two tone orange and silver paint job, and a 4-speed tranny.

Looks good and looks like you've got plenty of room to work on 'er!

Holy Crap leave that thing alone and save your money for college or something. I'd drive it like that it looks really nice. I have to tell you that the truck I've been working on will look almost identical to the one you've got. But It wont be finished for a couple of years. Anyway good luck with whatever you do with it.

I can't leave it alone, it's only just begun

!

It's a shame, If ya cant fix, then fix it until it's broke.

Nice start, I am 16 and I just got a 70 long bed also. But the funny thing is I am just hoping to get it black primer soon and leaving it like that.

Ha, I like that. I just finished a 92 chevy, and there were times I thought that. On this one I really want to keep the integrity of the era, which is kinda hard since I was born in 87, but it feels like I should have been born in the muscle era

. Nothing extreme to this one, just paint, wheels, and interior. Mostly just restoration stuff.

Right on dude!!!

I'm 17 and I hate those friggin ricers. It always feels good to smoke 'em in a 35 year old truck.

Ya the more teens with old chevys the better. I have a feeling if you lived around me you would be hanging with me and all the guys all the time. We all HATE imports and all the sound they bring with em. I will never buy any import. Got to be american iron, chevy iron to be exact.
