Well the guy sold the 70 out from under me, so went looking
found a 1971 C10 longbed 350 3 speed. drove it home 100 miles and made the trip no issues except holly on it junk but after rebuilding 2k of them this will be easy to fix

also if I take pic of tag in glovebox can someone tell me what all it means like color and all

thanks for all the help

Welcome back, and that looks like a nice truck.

[bellafleck]

color on glovebox is
1557AA Medium Olive/Dark O

also says belt molding so is this a 2 tone and is the second color Dark Olive?

It is not uncommon for folks to remove the trim. It was (is) real expensive to replace. Most folks I know from when these trucks were somewhat new, it they got in a fender bender or were going to do some repainting, it was very common to remove all trim and fill in the holes before painting.

Here is a truck with your two colors. Not the right paint scheme for a 71, but it was the only one I could fins with both colors together real quick.

is a Cheyenne Super Truck special?

[Palf70Step]

It's just an option group. If I remember right, it's the top of the line option group for 71/72. Is it special, depends on who you are. To me, not really.

My green and white super was that exact color combo. I could'nt put it back that way though.

Congrats and welcome back..

is there special tools to take the windsheild chrome and windsheild out?

[Palf70Step]

That I do not know, but from hearing form others, it does require a few certain words in order for the job to get accomplished.

[bellafleck]

Need Help, looked under truck everything looks good except on cab mounts. The cab mount looks good but there is a block of wood in between the cab and frame is something missing?

[Palf70Step]

Hard to say. You got a picture?

[bellafleck]

heres the picture sideways

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Looks like you need a new body mount set as I think you got the rare corvette option on body mounts..

was at the rollercoaster yardsale last weekend and seen a truck identical to your green and white one. this truck was a 71 and old man owned it since it was 6 months old had just a little bubbling on the cab corners but the rest was spotless of rust including bed only thing wrong was right fender had dent but paint was still good. The guy said someone offered him 5k for it day before but did not come back. womder if was someone here.

well was going to try to sell my truck now as surgery monday slowed me down abit but don't have access to sell

I finally started to restore on the left side cab now, I replaced both lower pillars, outer floor that has inner rocker need to do a little work on new cab corner to fit correctly at the body crease.

I have floor rust at very back of floor under gas tank is there a patch panel for it?
