Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
I have the exact same steering wheel, only without the leather wrap. Yours must have been sandalwood color originally, like mine. All the plastic cracked and disintegrated.
Looks like a very nice start for a project!

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
My first truck was a new 1979 chevy square body-- plane jane, 3ott, with a i6. But it was a blast to drive. You will always have memories of your first truck,

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
Nice! What do you guys have in mind? Here is my leaf spring truck with a DJM flip in the rear and ECE disc conversion spindles and 2" springs in the front. 66k miles and all original otherwise.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
We are in the process of looking for parts right now. We are comparing prices between year one, brothers, south Kentucky classics, LMC, & Ecklers

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
When you guys get done comparing replacement parts vs price vs fit etc would you post your results? I'm curious.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
The passenger floor isn't too bad, but the drivers side is going to need a floor pan.

Re: 1970 Chevy C10 pickup
I also started to clean parts. We are using electrolysis to clean the hood hinge.
