70 4x4 with pics and a little history on it. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, i have owned this truck since 1989. Many sets of tires, a couple of boxes and numerous patch panels. Spun a brg on the 350 300hp that was in it when i bought it. Hauled enough crushed rock to break the rear leafs, and one trans rebuild. This truck just didn't quit. It has around 320k miles on it now and is basically retired. Body is shot again, engine is tired, steering is sloppy ETC... You get the picture...
Anyhow, i put a battery in it today, checked the fluids, fired it up and took it for a spin. Even gave it a bath in the rain. These old trucks just don't die. Enjoy the pics, Eric

Nice truck!! I still like it old and rusty or not..Big block and bucket seats,tach, and it's 4wd,what more could you want?
I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it

Is it lifted or stock height? What size tires?

Looks like a good truck. the body doesnt' look shot by the pictures. Put me 2nd in line

**too much stuff** · 10-21-2007, 10:47 PM

Dustin, it has a 3" lift in the back, and 2 1/2" up front. Tires are 33x12.5x15 on 8 1/4" aluminum slots.
xshadow, it looks much better in the pics than it really is, Trust me!

1969k10stepside · 10-21-2007, 10:59 PM

Thanks,it has a good stance on it,IMO.I might try to achieve a stance like that with my K20..

The front end is in a low spot in the yard in the pic. It actually sits pretty level otherwise.

Oh what I would give for a set of aluminum slot mags for my 3/4T!!

Randy, no snow yet, but we have been in the 20's a few nights now.
ezglide, i dig slots also. Gives it the old school kinda look.

**passthebuck** · 10-25-2007, 11:20 AM

72BlckButy · 10-25-2007, 02:36 PM
