1970 CST Short Bed Update

[Tuff Gong]

I wanted to share some progress I made on my truck. I bought it about 8 years ago. Used it to haul stuff to the dumps for a year or so and then it just ended up sitting on the side yard. The tranny started leaking bad, the gas smelled like paint thinner. It wouldn’t even start so I just let it sit and sit. I really wanted to do a full restoration on it but family, time, money and knowledge was not on my side. One day a friend came by and offered to help me out. Instead of a major restoration he offered to get things in order so I could enjoy the truck again. It took me awhile to get things in order but I am very happy to have it back on the road. We ended up putting in a rebuilt motor and 700r transmission. I got the AC back up and running and installed all of the cool stuff I had been collecting over the years. All in all it turned out great.
