Well, I'm finally getting around to posting my build thread up to now because she is heading off for paint next week for some color! It started off as a nice toy hauler and she turned into a wonderful project somewhere along the lines.
So here is what I started with... 1970 C-10 CST SWB with all the options that I wanted
It was in ok shape when I boght it, very little rust and only minor body issues from a fender bender. The only big issue for me was the drivers door...the upper hinge had completely separated from the door so it was INOP! It had a stout GM crate 350 with a TH-350 trans. It had a drip at the fuel pump and the power steering hose was rotten but I managed to drive her home.
My girlfriend at the time (now fiance), absolutely hated the truck. She thought it was a heap of junk and was afraid I wasn't going to make it home. Thank goodness, two years later, she has really fallen in love with the truck and sometimes I can even convince her to help me work on it!
After driving the truck for awhile, I decided I was going to fix the drivers door so that I wouldn't have to get in the passenger door any longer and thats where this whole project really got rolling....
