Hi,I'm new here......many questions/pictures

[dnorris009]

Hello everyone,

I am a the happy owner of a '70 C-10 shortbed.... Pics below
my 5 year old son has nicknamed "The Spookinator"
Probably because she's a bit scary,loud & cobbled together from
a multitude of parts.

For instance.... I found out the 10 bolt rear end is probably from
an 88 chevy when I had to find wheel cylinders for it.
Plus the 6 bolt lug nuts/studs are much bigger diameter & they left
the leaf spring mounts on.

Don't know what the beds off of either...
it has a fuel door on the passenger bed side that says diesel fuel only!
Did they sell a 67-72 diesel?

& another thing... the chrome script on the glove box door it says tarliner
I ask the previous owner if it was a Ford Starliner script without the "S"
& he said he didn't think so.
All he knew was it used to be an old New Philidephia Ohio township truck.

Would that explain the heavyduty rear bumper?
& is that a 5th wheel hitch in the floor? On a short bed?
& What's the big hole on the drivers side cab roof pillar?

Other stuff... Think it's a 76-77 250/3 speed also because it's stamped TAT
& can someone PLEASE show me a photo of how the manual choke cable mounts to the engine.
Is there a bracket yhat bolts to the block or head?

Anywhoo, I'm starting to ramble.....
It's just a cool old truck that I plan on trowing money at instead of spending it at the bars or a therapy

I need to replace the entire floor, radiator cross member & the bed floor at
the very least.

& I'd like to trade/sell that rear bumper for a stock one.
Find a 292 to rebuild with some mild performance bits.

Thanks for reading all this & for any advise,help & parts in the future.

Dave
