Addicted to Chevrolets ( bought a C30 )

[JustinR]

I have been looking for a 1 ton for quite a while now. I found this 1969 1 ton listed locally about a month ago. I emailed him right away, since it is pretty close to what I wanted. He finally got back to me on Saturday and I got to go look at the truck yesterday. It turns out it is a 1970 CST Custom Camper with 157'' wb. It was yellow and white originally and only has 67,000 original miles. The owner said the guy he bought it from owned a construction company and had left over green paint from a scraper he was painting. So he painted over the yellow and white with lime green...

I am planning on restoring it to as close to original as I can, but I still want to keep the flat deck. The truck was built in Oshawa Ont, would anyone happen to know how many 1970 C30 CSTs were made in Canada?

I will update this page as I get things done, it needs quite a bit of work. The cab corners and rockers are actually really good (rust wise), especially for a Canadian truck. The front cab supports will have to be replaced, the rears I am not sure about yet. Since it only has 67,000 miles the rest of the truck looks to be in pretty good shape. We just got it home a couple of hours ago, my Dad and I did manage to get it started. I don't think the truck had ran for quite a while.

Here are some pictures from when we went to look at it, and once we got it back home.
