Newbie from Fresno California - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mala Suerte · 08-20-2016, 04:31 AM

I recently acquired a 1970 C10 LWB roughly about 6 months ago. I've always wanted a classic Chevy truck to restore and customize on my own and now I have one. I think I got myself a pretty good deal . I've yet to find any rust , or bondo work on the body. The only problem that I'm aware of is that the pinion gear bearing seized so I need to rebuild the differential. Besides that the trucks previous owner told me it was a every day driver. It has a 305 in it and I believe a turbo 350 tranny , not sure on tranny. I'm hoping I can pick some of your brains on here for some advice. This is probably the biggest project I'll ever have and can't wait to get it going. Thanks
