I can now officially be here - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jr2k3_esq · 01-17-2009, 11:34 PM

I joined a while ago and stated that I was looking and dreaming of a truck to buy and play with somewhere down the line. I love these trucks and have wanted one for a while. I am now the owner of a 1970 LWB C20. I will add pics to this post when I get some (unless someone can tell me if they go in a different part of the forum). It needs a rocker on the drivers side and cab corner, some other misc things as well. I picked it up off a guy after seeing it in his yard dormant for a few months. I got it for $400! and the odometer reads 29,635 miles.

My plans are to lower it and pump up the power for a summer toy, I might do that first and leave the body in the "in progress" state because that look is growing on me. Pics to come

kyull67 · 01-17-2009, 11:39 PM

Cool, post pics when you get a chance and welcome!

thirdstreettito · 01-17-2009, 11:49 PM

Welcome! Cant wait to see pics!

Blitz · 01-18-2009, 02:13 AM

Awww. You left us hangin'! Surely you can't post a thread like this and not have pics in hand...or on keyboard...listen, you know what I'm trying to say here. Wake up and let's get with the pics.

**El Jay** · 01-18-2009, 02:54 AM

I guess somebody has to man up & do it.

jr2k3_esq · 01-18-2009, 01:41 PM

I will do my best to not disappoint with the pics, I guess I was just caught up in the moment with my purchase. I R still a nOob

Welcome! to the board, from the Heart of Arkansas.

C20-67_N_MO · 01-18-2009, 03:08 PM

Welcome!

These are a bunch of great folks here. So sit back and relax!

hilandr452 · 01-18-2009, 04:31 PM

You can place your pictures on picturetrail.com, it's a free site, then you can go to the URL tab on their site. Cut and paste here for forum URL and there you have it. It's very easy once you get the hang of it.

Welcome to the forums from Colorado!!

jr2k3_esq · 01-26-2009, 10:53 PM

got to take some pics of it today, it's kind of a diamond in the rough but a solid start. Plus, for $400 couldn't beat it

Saddle tanks

jr2k3_esq · 01-26-2009, 10:57 PM

Rockers/Doors

Inside/Under hood

I dunno if that is origional or not, I would kinda hope at 40 it's rolled over once

mostly everything is there inside, needs a new seat and dash pad. Plans are for buckets later on

The silver button above the ignition is a home rigged push start wired to the starter... yikes.

350 with some home made heater hoses... ewie

david jobs · 01-26-2009, 10:57 PM

Looks like a good start-sure is blue

Thanks!

The build sheet in the glovey states white as the factory color, this prime blue paint job was somebody with some free time, some tremclad and a paint roller

**70cst** · 01-26-2009, 11:15 PM

jr2k3_esq AND ...It looks like the start of a beautiful thing.

**El Jay** · 01-26-2009, 11:23 PM

If you got that for $400, you stole it.

I have seen pictures (although nothing in person) of Tremclad (I believe that is Rustoleum down here) paint jobs.
And honestly, in the pics they didn't look too bad.

And yeah, before anybody dumps on me, I know the pictures lie!

Kayotic · 01-26-2009, 11:31 PM

Still gives me goose bumps, Thanks for the pics. Looks well worth the $400. Take your time and think things through. My first truck dissolved in a hurry cause I was gunna replace this and get a new that - you get the deal. After throwing away and giving away and selling, I had nothing left.

$400 cash in hand. I talked him down from $500. I don't think he knew what he had or what the going rate was nowadays for these things. I looked at a rusted out 71 last year and the guy was asking $1700. I believe the at home paint job kind of helped preserve the body on this thing, I live near the ocean and the salt in the air does no good for vehicles that sit here.

Welcome to the board!

49gmc · 01-26-2009, 11:34 PM

definitely worth $400!!

custom72c20 · 01-27-2009, 12:52 AM

cool to have another c20 on the board.

LuckyHenriksen · 01-27-2009, 01:09 AM

Sweet score for 400 clams. I would love to score one like that and just clean the junk out of it and use it for a parts hauler

*chevy29267truck* · 01-27-2009, 01:16 AM

Welcome wow blue truck

72BlckButy · 01-27-2009, 08:58 AM
