New to the board
New to the board and I just figured I would share some picks of my 70 c10. I purchased it in June from the original owner. He ordered it new in 70 as a tow rig for his boat. Has a 402BB, 3 speed on the column, power steering, H/D power brakes, H/D cooling and rear step bumper. 45000 original miles. Here are some pics from the original craigslist posting.

Re: New to the board
Nice truck and welcome. That is a cool truck the big block and 3 on the tree and i don't ever remember seeing one on the site. Just a thought here if your truck still has the original engine, in 1970 they were still installing the 396 engine and didn't use the 402 until 1971 . Does you spid label show 396 or 400 as the engine size?

Thanks, and I agree its an interesting engine/transmission combination. The SPID reads 400 but I have not had a chance to look up the numbers on the block to get the details on it.

Thanks for the welcome,
Next step is finding some 15x8 steelies and dogdish hub caps. Im looking to mount some bigger tires and fill out the wheel wells better.

Re: New to the board
Could always buy some 15x10 rallies or steelies. That's the route i kind of want to go until I do a disk swap. That way you could fit a 285/?/15 tire back there. Or a 295.

Thanks for the welcome, and the truck is familiar with your area as until recently it spent its entire life in Alabama.
