Newbie from Fresno California - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mala Suerte · 08-20-2016, 04:31 AM

I recently acquired a 1970 C10 LWB roughly about 6 months ago. I've always wanted a classic Chevy truck to restore and customize on my own and now I have one. I think I got myself a pretty good deal . I've yet to find any rust , or bondo work on the body. The only problem that I'm aware of is that the pinion gear bearing seized so I need to rebuild the differential. Besides that the trucks previous owner told me it was a every day driver. It has a 305 in it and I believe a turbo 350 tranny , not sure on tranny. I'm hoping I can pick some of your brains on here for some advice. This is probably the biggest project I'll ever have and can't wait to get it going. Thanks

Welcome any questions feel free to ask. I'm right up the street in Visalia and go to early classics in Fresno for goodies. Let's seem some pics I had a lwb 71 c10 in high school.
