EA69TRK · 03-09-2010, 04:43 AM

wow now that truck looks beautiful do you by chance have a pic of the SPID or any other pics or that fine machine.

wHATANERD · 03-09-2010, 06:52 AM

That truck is awesome.

wHATANERD · 03-09-2010, 06:53 AM

I even like the color, ( see my avatar )

72BlckButy · 03-09-2010, 09:29 AM

That is a beautiful truck! Was the truck a MO native?

Time to get some year specific plates on that thing.

You and your dad need to mark your calendar for the Magic Dragon Car show (Lake Ozark - Bagnell Dam strip) on April 30-May 2. There's going to be several board members attending the show, and we would love to add both of you to the mix. Check out the thread in the Missouri section of the board... here.

Again....people who own and drive 1970 C10's are very very special people. Nice truck!

thanks, yes the truck was a mo-native, i dont remember where exactly it came from but the farmer that had it before had it painted on the doors so i would have to look up some older pics.

i was actually down there last year but just drove my camaro down maybe we will hit it up this year, if i can talk him into keeping the truck he wants to sell it and get a 68-69 chevelle.

TomJohnston · 03-09-2010, 09:53 AM

Nice truck! It's almost the same as mine (was my dad's - he was the second owner and his cousin was the first). A few years ago he had a body restoration done and now it's time for some engine work. Click on my avatar for a bigger picture.

1LoC10 · 03-09-2010, 09:54 AM

awesome truck

77shortstep · 03-09-2010, 10:20 AM

thanks guys for all the complements, when he got the truck back in the 80's the day he brought it home i told him it was my truck, and he couldnt ever sell it.

QKENUF4U · 03-09-2010, 10:50 AM

i hate long beds but i sure wouldnt complain driving that one around.. NICE TRUCK !!!

dan42 · 03-09-2010, 11:08 AM

Don't let him sell it -he has had it too long and it is too nice - he will regret it for the rest of his life. Just get the Chevelle to keep it company.
