"California Rust"... My '70/C10/402/TH400 project... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Picked up a truck from my buddy.

It's a 1970 C-10/longbed/402/700R4.

This is how she sat, for the last 9 years.

On some 1995 Silverado wheels...

Body is pretty straight....

Except the grill/missing bumper/and driver fender.
I have replacements sourced, already.

A very clean place to start.

This is the look I'm going for in the end.
I photo-chopped it.

I should also mention that I just parted out my '88 K5 Blazer Crawler,
In order to help fund this build.
So, I'm pretty well versed in trucks/fabrication/rebuilds/etc.
My family has Chevrolet running through our veins.
I rebuild Transmissions for a living, and can fix ANYTHING with gears.

Although...
Aside from my Mom owning a '69/C10/360/TH400, this is my first experience w/ 2nd gens.
