Heres an idea for a sweet truck build.

This is something I've always wanted to build but know that i will never have the funds, space, or time to build so I'm throwing this idea out there in hopes someone will jump on it.
I think it would be cool to build a 1970 Chevy shortbox and call it a SST/10 (Super Sport Truck). I figured I could make SST emblems out of 4 CST emblems. Give it a lowered stance from stock but not to low. I wanted to make it look like it was a production truck.
The SST/10 option package would consist of various parts that were available from GM in 1970. This would include the Corvette LT1 370 HP 350 standard with the LS6 454 as an option. The standard transmission would be the M22 4 speed with the TH400 optional. And the rear would be 12 bolt posi with a sway bar.
Interior would have buckets standard and the glove box emblem would be the 1970 Corvette engine spec emblem that would be on the console of the car. The exterior would get the lower trim only. It would also wear 15X8" corvette rallys on all four corners, with Goodyear Polyglas tires.
I think if GM would have built this in 1970 they would have sold quite a few. If I were to build this truck I would try make it look as close to factory as possible. No billet, no aftermarket parts that didn't look original, etc.
Let me know what you think, and what you would do to improve upon this dream of mine.
