A friend remembered someone that wanted to sell his 1970 C10. The body is a little rough and needs paint but it is all there. My main concern is it has rear leaf springs. Here is the good things.

-older Edelbrock tall aluminum valve covers
-new fuel pump
-new water pump
-new 4-core radiator
-rusty long headers with Flows
TH-350 transmission
-approximately 5000 miles
-shifts great
Posi Differential

Tailgate

Wheels & Tires
-older 5 lug aluminum slotted wheels
-new tire on the rear
-older tires in the front
Trailer hitch
Exterior
-all the moldings are there + extra pieces. surely will need to buy a few pieces
-paint is rough and there are some dents with none being very large or difficult
-front chrome bumper
-rear chrome barden-like bumper
-grill has some small dings and scrapes
-small rectangular door mirrors
-has had three different types of mirrors in its life and that means holes

Yep, it is in Rio Linda. Do you want to see it tonight? I am going there around 5ish?

What do you think of the leaf springs other than being more expensive to lower?
