New Daily Driver '70 CST - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67_SS396 · 07-26-2003, 01:06 AM

I've had this truck for just over a month and finally got pictures loaded. I am the third owner of the truck and it now has 128K original miles on it. All the suspension has been rebuilt minus the rear springs. The original 350 hasn't been cracked open except for a new alt., water pump and converted to HEI. All I've done to it is charged the factory A/C, new carrier bearing, shocks and wash it. This is my daily driver and I've put close to 4K miles on it in just over a month with getting 15mpg with the A/C on. It rides like a new truck and has only a couple minor rattles. What do ya think? I'm proud of it and happy to hop in it every day! Oh, I only paid $3500 for it and it doesn't have a lick of rust or cancer in it. The frame barely has any surface rust.

Only $3500, what a steal

Nice deal.

67_SS396 · 07-26-2003, 10:03 AM

Thanks for the nice comments!

That is a twin, looks great and not too far away either. The only real difference is I have the light gold on the upper part of the cab. Plus you have a few "goodies", mine is bone stock except for dual exhaust.
