Arizona Noob
I found me a 1970 Chevy CST10, So this seemed the logical place to be. This fits into my stable of 2 built Nissan 4x4s with leaf sprung solid front axles, my 2004 Suzuki Intruder, and my wife's 2007 Nissan Murano AWD.
I traded a very nice 2000 Z28 Camaro straight up for the truck and so far I'm pleased with the trade, though I will miss that car for a long time. Here's a few of the goodies and a stack of pics. Freshly built 400...As I've had the truck less than a week, I haven't completely looked over the build sheet for it, but the previous owner sank almost $6k into the motor. What I can say is that it has less than 10k on it and the truck really moves. All new front suspension components - LCAs, UCAs, balljoints, drop spindles, TREs, idler arm, bearings, etc. Rebuilt TH350 with a shift kit Rebuilt 12 bolt rear / all new brakes Rebuilt and shortened driveline New radiator, all new hoses throughout New Heavy duty starter New battery Custom Exhaust with tips exiting in front of the rear wheels All brand new R134A compliant AC ($1800 invested in that alone) All new duct work, cables, sliders, etc. New BFG TAs on new chrome moonies 5" drop in front with spindles and springs, and a disc brake conversion 6" drop in rear with blocks, springs, and a sectioned frame The interior is original and near immaculate with no cracks/tears, etc. It all works, even the AM radio! The CST model gave it wood grain on the trim, tailgate, and interior panels, and a nice headliner. There's 66k miles on the truck. Box A miles. It hasn't flipped over. There's under 10k on the drivetrain. I'm currently seeking an original black and yellow Arizona 69 plate for it. I have one, but the number is in use on a newer style plate, but I think I can find another. I didn't wash it before the pics, so it's not as clean as it could be, but here goes.

Re: Arizona Noob
All I can say is WOW
 ... You have a super looking truck! Can I say I love your color combo!  As you can see D-Rat are trucks looks to be twins. My truck is also a CST with a factory 402BB. My truck is not done yet but soon....very soon. Oh yes  and  from Ohio. Yes a thousand times yes you have found the right site for 67-72  and  trucks. Tow tone green is a great color combo .. IMHO
