Mine was originally a 1970 Chevrolet cab and chassis C/20 with rear coils, 350 4bbl and SM465, started life as a welding truck and still is, welding rocks!

Truck has always been like this since about 1977:

Grille- 71/72
Front bumper- 71/72
Left fender, was blue- 69-70
Right fender, was primer red- 69-70
Cab and everything inside- 1970 C20 Longhorn
Both doors- same 1970 C20 Longhorn
Bed- 69-72 8ft Fleetside
Dented to hell tailgate- 69-70 chevy Fleetside
Rear wrap around step bumper- 69-70 Fleetside
2 bolt 350- 1970 car?
TH400- 1967 Caprice
Eaton/Corp rear end- original


Grandpaw welded up a headache rack and pushbumper for the truck in '78, they're still on it.

Stuff I did since I got it:

jr west coast mirrors-from a 67 if I remember right
new(to the truck) motor mount stands- 72 GMC 3500
brake booster- 72 GMC 3500
gas tank- 70 GMC 1500
ramhorn exhaust manifolds-driver side from a '68 C10, passenger side from a '70 C10
original cast iron intake-1969-70
Quadrajet carb- from my Uncle's 76 2wd Blazer(he switched to an Edelbrock)
Black dash pad- 1970 K20 burb
Blue center seatbelt- 1972 cheyenne super
Front wheels- 15x8 eight lug wagon wheels bought by my Dad back in the 70's
Rear left wheel- stock 8 lug 16.5x9.75 steel rim from a 70's-80's 3/4 ton
Rear right wheel- 16.5x9.75 8 lug wagon wheel, bought from a junkyard(still lookin for another stock rim)

Story went that this old farmer had a junkyard at his farm and he put this truck together after they wrecked? the original truck. The people that owned it were good friends of the family so they gave Grandpaw a good deal on it. Frame numbers match the door VIN tag. (it was riveted on with standard aluminum rivets ).
