Let me re-introduce myself
From 2010-2020 I had the 69 Chevy C/20 Custom Camper pictured below. I drove it a lot but it was too nice to be a don't-give-a-crap daily driver. Got involved with big-block dirt modified race team in NY in 2019 so the truck just sat.
Middle of 2020 I sold the 69er to a gentleman in Colorado and got an 81 GMC Sierra 2500 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with a factory 454. Nice truck to drive daily when gas was $2 during the pandemic, but reality set in when it hit $4-$5 a gallon and the 9 mpg made for multi-page credit card statements for gas stops. All along I really, really missed having a 67-72 truck, so I came upon a 70 C/20 with a 402 and 3.54 gears. Won the auction today and looking forward to taking delivery soon. It's got a ton of patina which I'm going to leave alone. Only plan is to get cab lights back on it, paint the letters and stripes back on the grill, get some Michelins, and the correct hubcaps. I know the mileage won't be much better than the GMC, but it'll be nice to have a 67-72 again. BaT auction for the 70 https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...rolet-c20-cst/
