I need to get that old carb pulled off and addressed along replacement of the rubber fuel lines. Those are really old and soft.

Nice truck
The engine could be a 230. I have a 69 Short Step low option (ex US government truck) and thought it was a 250 until the machine shop found out it wasn't at rebuild time. Bruce |

The original engine in that truck was a 250.

Re: Purchased a 1969 C10 Short Bed - Pleasanton, CA
Like a few others, I just read this whole thread, that truck looks super clean, nice score.
Regarding the fuel smell/system, worth noting (since I ran into this myself) is to check the sending unit pickup 'sock' (filter). This is typically a nylon mesh and over the years can get brittle and 'disintegrate'. After having my carb rebuilt, I started having major gas issues (leaking into the intake). What I initially thought was a poor rebuild, turned out to be fragments of the pickup sock preventing the float needle from seating. Best of luck with the truck, I'll be following along ![]()

Re: Purchased a 1969 C10 Short Bed - Pleasanton, CA
I received the dash pad (saddle) and replacement lenses today that I’ve started installing (from SummitRacing)
- 2 grill lights (little rectangular ones) - 4 side markers - 2 backup lenses - 2 tailight lenses The side markers arrived with a thick foam pad resulting in my stock side marker screws being too short, ugh I’ll have to get some pics.
