Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside

[lolife99]

First,... I have to say I really didn't need any more trucks or projects.
I still have my bagged '71 2wd blazer,... and my '69 292/powerglide short fleetside truck.

I have been quietly collecting parts to build another truck with a really sweet '68 cab, and an original paint fleetside bed that I found here on the board, from some great board members.

I was talking to member n2billet, about trying to find a NICE original paint truck like he usually buys.
(Lucy, Hazel, and Stella Mae to be specific)
Anyway,... Keith worked his magic for me,... and located a REALLY nice '70 Stepside on Craigslist that was within 6 hours of me.
To make a long story short,... I bought this truck over the phone with the help of a two good friends.

Member hot trux convinced me that "everyone" goes to look at stuff on Craigslist on the weekend.
If I wanted this truck I couldn't wait for my day off on Saturday.
So, Jeff (hot trux) did me a huge favor.
He took off work and went to buy this truck for me on Thursday.
So I want to use this post to say thank you, to both Keith and Jeff for making this purchase possible.

The truck is a base model C/10 '70 stepside.
250 6-cylinder, three speed, no optioned truck.
The best part,... I bought this rust free "original paint" 162k mile truck from the original owner.
The seat has been reupholstered at some point.
The engine was rebuilt at 120k miles.
It's a really nice unmolested truck.
Also factory radio delete as well.
The delete plate was in the glove box along with all the original paperwork.
(no protecto plate though)
I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to do with it yet,... but my daily driver truck is now outside,... while I park this beauty inside, out of the weather.

I will also be selling a few items in the classifieds section.
Like the mirrors, hubcaps, bumper guards (that I removed), spare tire mount, ventshades, etc.

I'll also start a build thread when I get going in that direction.
