New '70 owner *pics* - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gringoloco · 10-05-2005, 02:25 AM

Just wanted to say hello. I've been lurking here since before I got my "new" truck and have learned a lot about it. Thanks to everyone who has passed on knowledge, and in advance for all the questions I'm sure to have.

The truck is a 1970 C10, 350/350 with an OBS bed that I'm not real happy with but I think will look OK once lowered. The PO put on a nice factory color paint job with the bed and rebuilt the front end including power discs. He also recovered the bench and added a lot of new bright blue interior goodies from LMC. The fuel tank was also moved to a bed mounted toolbox.

All in all a nice truck that will be a real head turner with some TLC. I'm thinking 3"/5" drop from spindles/flip kit (it has leaves) and 17" body colored steelies and dog dishes with chrome rings. 700r4 and A/C for the Louisiana summer is also certain.

I know you guys love pics, so here they are. They are crummy and small from the eBay ad, but give you an idea of what I'm working with. Best part is I got it in an even trade for my old motorcycle! Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas for my rig...

Welcome to you and your`70 from the "Old Line State".

Suggestions?:Start looking for a Stepside

Down your way and out to DFW,TX they turn up alot.Also,getting the tank out of the bed would be cool.

Welcome from MT. Sweet looking truck. I think that would be a sweet drop to do for it. Maybe a little bit wider tires in the back.
