As you say, everything in the truck points to it being an actual 70.....

What's the VIN say?
Most likely someone at the DMV back in the day of the typewriter hit the wrong key at 4:58pm on a Friday and it has been titled that way ever since.

I'm also curious about what the VIN says.

Re: How teeitup cost me thousands of $$$$, even though I tried to stop it!

I am sure this is a '71 that has had the cab & front clip changed from a '69-70. It is a disc brake truck. The title, vin tag # and frame numbers agree, but carb linkage is a little cobbled.
The gas tank was full of rust, so it is out and a clean tank with big lines and new big pickup are ready to go back in.
Of course I had to work on it first. Pulled out the seat & ragged carpet and couldn't look at the rust in kicks & rockers, so I "quickly" (ya right) laid down POR mat to at least keep the Washington rain from washing our feet going down the road. I am not going to stop & cut out & weld in new metal on a cab that WILL be replaced! I did order some new carpet, tank cover & mats all matching.
...and I cleaned & repainted the door bottoms...If you get a truck with nice solid doors and you see ANY bare metal or rust...STOP and get it protected (paint or primer or POR or something to stop it). When I get inside the doors I will also clean, sand & POR the bottoms & corners to protect them also.
I sure hope this thing gets on-the-road tomorrow. I would like to drive it.
