70 Custom Camper/20 (Newbee)

[rustrunner]

Glad to find this site. Restoring a 70 CustomCamper/20.

I know a lot of people may say why a c20 long bed, not the most desirable truck, but Dad purchased this truck in November of 69, and I am now the 4th Owner. Purchased Last Month.

After DAD, it spent most of its life as a farm truck. Little rust, but fixable. Tailgate trash.

350 - tired 200K + miles, 4 speed with granny, 410 rears. Wood floor in bed, and 5 light cab. Did have 2 (after market) tanks under bed, now gone.

Just pulled the engine, and will be starting the body work in a couple weeks. Will take the engine back to stock + a little. Will make it a two tone truck. I want to make this truck my everyday driver.. Add factory AC. (necessary for southerm Miss). Was thinking about putting a Gear Venders Overdrive on it for highway use. Plan on using the same rims with a lower profile tire.

Will have other questions in the future, I am sure. Will post progress. Want to have it done for Cruisin The Coast.

Thanks Dan
