Re: 70 CST time capsule
Just remember two things:1)There`s the truck,2)There`s the dealer.The dealer has "Classic" in his name.This is a typical "Classic" "dealer" "ad".
*The VIN-spec sheet doesn`t look burnt at all.Looks original to me. *Steering columns black w/tilt or black vinyl. *The truck is worth $25,000+ in that original condition w/BB

Re: 70 CST time capsule
I looked at the overspray on the ashtray & went back & looked at it again. It almost looks like a reflection off of the paint. The heater controls look red in the pic too. All in all, I think I believe them.

Re: the ashtray overspray comments
I pulled the one out of my original paint truck and this is what I found. Also has overspray on the inside of the top. Notice the the 34 year old tape!! |

Re: 70 CST time capsule
My ashtray in my 72 had overspray on it as well and I'm certain it was original.

Re: 70 CST time capsule
My Dad bought a new 70 model and it had the round head mirrors. It was a white truck so the mirrors were completly white. I learned how to drive in that truck about 73 or 74.

Re: 70 CST time capsule
cool, I've never noticed a 70 with the round style. It is a january truck, so that is highly feasable.

Re: 70 CST time capsule
I had a 69 that came w/67-8 style red/white hubcaps-I bought it from the only other owner & he said it came that way. Another buddy of mine has a 70 CST w/the round mirrors, I think it was an early truck also,,I think plants used what they had til it was gone,,brian

Re: 70 CST time capsule
My truck was two-toned just like this one, and came out of the same plant 3 months earlier and has the same kind of overspray of the white over the body color and the same paint lines around the door. Mine also does not have a laminate over the glove box lid decal, so must be a factory variation (J in the vin = Janesville, WI).
Soo, I'd vote for original paint and decals. A very well kept truck.

Re: 70 CST time capsule
SPID label states 396. Shouldn't it be 400?

Re: 70 CST time capsule
Well, if any thing, it should read 402. The badging and spid label causes tons of confusion back then, and 35 years later.
regardles what it says, 396, 400, 402... what ever.... it was a 402 from '70 to 74 or so. Last edited by Longhorn Man; 06-24-2006 at 03:38 PM. |

Re: 70 CST time capsule
An impressive truck! Also an impressive price for a LWB non A/C non 72 model. I'm not knocking the Long beds fellas its just a fact that they typicaly dont bring the money an identical SWB would.

Re: 70 CST time capsule
with regards to the 396/402 issue, I had a 1971 GMC it had the original glove box decal and it stated it was a 396, i asked around and a lot of people told me they stopped making them in 69 also. I had fact air, buckets, ps, pb, tilt, tach etc. should have kept it.

Re: 70 CST time capsule
It didn't sell at $18.5K, having failed to meet the reserve price.
Now, it is worth more than that? Apparently the sellers think so, but I'm not so sure that taking it to an auction like Kruse (for instance) wouldn't reveal the true worth of the vehicle. It's nice, to be sure, but we can pick at it and fault it for several things, if we look closely. I'm not going to nitpick at this point. It's nice to see a clean, decent "Uncle Daniel" vehicle. If you ain't familiar with the Uncle Daniel thing, you didn't read R&C back in the late 60's, early 70's. They'd show a vehicle on the streets, being used as originally intended, yet unrestored and decent to look at. My truck, for instance, is a survivor.....not an unmolested, pristine example, but one that has continued to be a truck. Used/abused/appreciated for what it is. Lowered, but quite servicable. Whoever buys this truck will squirrel it away, and not drive it out of fear of someone running into it. But, we must remember.....how much money would it cost to make YOUR vehicle look that good?

Re: 70 CST time capsule
It just makes me leery when a vehicle is advertised as a survivor and has an obvioulsly replaced glove box sheet listing "turbo-hydramatuc" instead of turbo-hydramatic. I figure just about everything listed is suspect.
