A few pics of my dad's 70' almost done - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70c10 · 12-05-2004, 06:18 PM

I want thank Longhorn Man, Teeitup, Pickupman, Pickmup, WES, GMC Paul, Iron Horse, 67sss, Tx Gary, Junkyard John, Church and everyone else I forgot to mention who have sold me parts along the way to put this truck together. I still have to make the door panels and do some minor odds and ends but at least it's cruise ready. My dad has already gotten alot of thumbs up driving around. The truck sounds great rumbling down the road with the new 2 1/2" exhaust.

The truck looks great...

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-05-2004, 06:56 PM

Truck looks great,I like that color.

70c10 · 12-05-2004, 08:24 PM

Thanks guys!. I have no interior shots yet because it's not done but will post pics in a week or two. The color was mixed wrong but wasn't noticed until the very last minute. It's a litle lighter than it was supposed to be but my dad is starting to like it. The engine mods will take place this summer!

weasel29gm · 12-05-2004, 09:54 PM

Great job and looks good!!!!

**Palf70Step** · 12-05-2004, 11:22 PM

Truck looks real good.

70c10 · 12-06-2004, 09:19 AM

Thanks Bill. We almost had the same seat in it as yours but Fedex lost it in transit

. The factory seat turned out awesome though.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-06-2004, 09:29 AM

Someone else has a post on lwb vs. swb... the truck looks beautiful!!! I think the 67-72 were one of the few year trucks where the lwb looked as great as the swb.... great job!!

TsgtE662 · 12-06-2004, 11:12 AM

Awesome looking truck!

A Reservist here has a '68 lwb here that is similar in color except its in the usual condition for a unrestored one but better than most I've seen.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-06-2004, 11:51 AM

Very nice!

70 shorty · 12-06-2004, 02:25 PM

I wish mine looked that good, but then again I wouldn't have been able to afford it.

cableguy0 · 12-06-2004, 02:50 PM

looking real good jim. you get around to putting those iron eagles on your truck yet?

70c10 · 12-06-2004, 03:22 PM

Jason, Thanks. There SP II's but I'm still not sure if I'm going with them or not. They have been sitting for a year!.

Deuce · 12-06-2004, 03:50 PM
