Went to get a cheap parts truck and look what it ended up being...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

a Hugger and white 1970 CST SWB. It has PWR steering and PWR drum brakes. NON A/C but lots of good parts. Cab has rust in the visors but rockers and corners are pretty solid. Bedsides are shot but the floor is in great shape. Hood looks good and the fenders are really nice. It even came with an extra drivers door. It has a really nice gauge cluster and a lighter. I pretty much stole the thing.

I just got home Sunday from Iraq and was heading to SC to pick up a load of parts from a fellow board member until my trailer crapped out on me. I was able to borrow a trailer for a few hours to go get this one. Guy was 1 day away from jail if he didn't pay a ticket so he let it go cheap. I am going to start stripping it tomorrow of what I need.

hey how did that cig lighter come out?
i was trying to pull one i found couldnt get it out.

Southern C10 · 08-01-2009, 11:09 PM

The back unscrews and it comes right out. I will try and remember to shoot you a pic tomorrow.

I took the glove box door off hoping to peel off the paint and see the SPID but whoever painted the door must have stripped the SPID off. DANG!!

Good score, that hood looks to be in great shape.

BTW, welcome home.

Hey...put me in line for the mirrors if you sell them. Oh yes...

on your purchase.

Sweet find. Too bad it's to far gone to fix up. That original color combo, along with bieng a CST would be a sweet truck to have.

If I thought this thing had a fraction of a chance to look half as good as yours looks I would start fixing her up tomorrow. Its got rust in the floor pans, bedsides are shot and the roof has a little rust in the visor area. Frame is solid minus one spot on the front horn. Other than that it would be a good starting platform for a rebuild. Fenders are really nice on it and the bed floor looks crazy good considering how bad the bedsides are.
