What to do the day after selling one truck? Drag another out of a field of course!
Ended up selling my 72 gmc sb to a friend on friday last week and bought this 69 c10 lb the very next day lol. I stopped in over a year ago on this truck that sat about 1/4 mile off the road and gave the lady my number as she didn't want to sell it just yet. Well last week I stopped back in and she was ready to part with it. Its a 69 1/2 ton longbed fleetside 2wd original everything. Its pretty beat but has ZERO rust. Ive been looking all over this thing and the only thing i can find is a little surface rust on the bottom of the passenger door which is surprising because some delinquent shot out the drivers side window. Its also still wears the original paint white/Saddle with red interior which seems like an unusual color combo. Got the engine to turn over also while towing it back to my place so it not frozen which is a big relief its getting anew starter, alternator, spark plugs and wires, and fuel pump today and we'll see if she runs. Also buffed the drivers side of the hood and fender out and it has a really cool patina on it. Next thing to do is find an original saddle paint tailgate and find who can make an original seat cover. Needs alot of work but for $300 I figured it was hard to go wrong!

Also it hasn't been registered since 1991. I got all the stuff to do a duplicated ca title but when I did it on my blazer they took the blue plates

That thing is awesome! Pull the dents that you can. Find the missing trim pieces a new dash and steering wheel and you have yourself an awesome rig. I love the red interior, and the uncut dash. Excellent find! Have fun getting it going, for the money $$ invested you can't go wrong. We don't find them nearly that clean here in MN.

Do you have any paperwork with license plate number on it? Whatever you do, don't hand those plates to the clerk over the counter. I would look into a private dmv registration firm if the dmv tries to hassle you about those plates. I think the DMV is trying to push those stupid legacy plates on anyone in this situation.

The very first thing I do after selling one is to replace it with another short bed with better options than the last one . That way I don't feel like I lost one as much as gaining a better one !

I think if you keep the plates to yourself you can just go to DMV at a later date and time and tell them you want to use those plates. I think after so long it has to be a fresh start to newly issued plates and then after its all good you can go swap back.

What an awesome truck, and for the price you can't beat it. Are you keeping the original motor and transmission in it?

I agree. Carefully push the dents out If you let the panels sit out in the sun, the paint will flex. Don't pull them. Push from the back and support the front side. The door and bedside dents should come out with suction cup pullers and a little pushing from the back side. Awesome truck. Love the color and patina.
