Took a trip, came home with an interesting 70 CST - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Vintage Windmills · 08-31-2011, 10:39 PM

Left MN Sat night with my restored 71 C20 in tow. I'm storing it for the winter in my Mom's spare mouse proof garage in iowa. Sunday I visited her and Monday I went with some family to Topeka. We went to visit my aunt in but I worked it into the trip to pick up a tailgate from Ackattack and few things from Teeitup. From Meriden we left with a cab for Eric (toomuchstuff), 3 bumpers, Cst door panels, neat mirrors, T3's, engine stand. thanks again Randy, always nice to stop in and visit. We hit the road at 6:15am that morning and made it home at 11:45 pm.

Today on my way home (with an empty trailer) I stopped by the auction I read about a month ago to bid on a CST 10. I was half an hour late to the auction so I walked up and immediately got a number. By the time I did that, they were 1 item away from the truck so I barely had time to peek at it before the bidding started. The first thing I noticed is that its not a very attractive color scheme IMO but it is unusual. I set a number in my head and got it for a little less than that

Now that I've got her home its in a little better shape than I thought. I can't believe how original it is, doesn't even have HID or a bumper sticker. The only thing is the valve covers are blue and the GVW numbers on the side. Has a qjet, is that original? Also the four core rad isn't on the SPID so I'm not sure thats original either. Its a shame the back half is rusty and the cab is shot. Its strange though since the front fenders are 98% rust free, even pass side cup. Still has the buckets and even protect o plate! Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do with this thing. On a separate note, it was a pleasure to put my 2500hd and winch that I built to work. I really like both of them.

Nice!!!! That is an unusual color combo on the 70. The blue valve covers would be newer. That cab in your truck looks sweet and worth the trip right there!!!

Meatman · 08-31-2011, 10:50 PM

Looks like a sweet score there!

teeitup · 08-31-2011, 11:54 PM

Wow that thing is butt ugly Jud, you better bring it to my place!!!!!!

Just kidding nice buy for sure!!! Eric I bet Jud will sell you that blue cab

Always a PLEASURE to see you Jud, Thanks Randy

dan42 · 08-31-2011, 11:59 PM

Cool truck. A little strange on the option list - to have bucket seats and not a whoe lot else. Very nice score nonetheless.

heeroyue2002 · 09-01-2011, 01:53 AM

the exterior color looks like the one my old 68 gmc had. i may be wrong though(a bit color blind)

**nightmare** · 09-01-2011, 02:03 AM

nice score!! looks like it was ordered that way though. definitely unusual, that's for sure.

lil hoodlum · 09-01-2011, 12:44 PM

I like it. I am diggin the color scheme. Definetely different. I wonder what the story is behind it. Maybe the owner was a Green Bay Packers fan?

Good score!

Keith

**too much stuff** · 09-01-2011, 12:49 PM

I think you should pull the buckets and console, put them in the blue cab in the truck, head north to my place on sunday where there wil be a keg of beer, deep fried turkey, goose and chicken and a few other festivities. Just a suggestion.....................

I thought so too, the other options are pretty nice for the few they are, CST, stabilizer, 350/350TH, guages.

Hmmm... tempting but too busy unfortunately. Like Randy says, I will make you a good deal on the blue cab

Bought new by the supermarket owner or manager in Franklin, MN. Later sold to a local farmer where the auction was. So a two owner vehicle. I'm not sure if the Franklin gentelman ordered it the way it is but I'd guess so due to the weird colors and options.

Randy, find me the blue K20 and we can make it happen!! Wish we could have chatted longer but still a nice visit.

HeavyD · 09-01-2011, 05:52 PM

Neat truck. If you decide to part it out, please keep the under bracing for the buckets..I know I sure could use a set and others would too.

75gmc454 · 09-01-2011, 11:46 PM

Nice truck Jud. Great paint combo. That is the correct two tone for a 70. Here is my 70 CST and the spid just has special paint on it. Just wanted to show the difference in the paint schemes.

Vintage Windmills · 09-02-2011, 09:03 AM

Clint, is the lower body side trim listed on the spid? It isn't on my truck but perhaps that is due to being standard with the two tone?

Looks like I'm going to give someone else a shot at this truck and list it for sale. I need to stay focused on the 71 and the 4x4!
