My sons new project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 10-21-2003, 10:21 PM

We,ve been looking for a project for my youngest son. Tonight I found this. 71, 1/2 ton, LWB, 5 lug disc, 350/350, TILT, NO RUST (man I love Ca) very straight. The guy was asking $1200, I got it for $900. Runs great needs to be cleanded up and painted.

1970blazin · 10-21-2003, 10:23 PM

Man what a score! $900!!! Rust free!!! I hate you!!! Just kidding- that is so cool you are helping your son- Father son projects are the best! Have fun too!

**Canadian694x4** · 10-22-2003, 01:01 AM

A.P. · 10-22-2003, 01:40 AM

Excellent deal for a rust free truck. Good job.

**Palf70Step** · 10-22-2003, 05:39 AM

Very Nice!

JayDubBlazer · 10-22-2003, 05:51 AM

Wow seems like you got a good deal. Some fresh paint and that think will be sweet.

Thanks Guys
It does need a few things but it's a GREAT start. All the good stuff is there. It will need complete interior and a new outer grill (dented on pass side). Both my boys did a lot of work on MY truck. This will be a lot of father son fun workin on this one

landon4421 · 10-22-2003, 10:14 AM

Glad to see you found a good truck for your son ! I was still looking for you !

Found these last night. Guess it is a little to late !

**Yukon Jack** · 10-22-2003, 11:09 AM

What a deal. Looks like a great project. Saved yourself the fun of searching for a tilt wheel too!

jays68yak · 10-22-2003, 11:16 AM

wow thats a good deal.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 10-22-2003, 11:19 AM

Thanks Landon, Yes the search is over.

Yukon, very true. It still has the stock Steering wheel, its ruff and has some cracks. I'll bet my son has it replaced by the time I get home today.

krue · 10-22-2003, 11:44 AM

Great deal man. Keep us posted on the progress.

dinnut · 10-22-2003, 05:49 PM

Alexis · 10-22-2003, 06:46 PM

becareful before you know it he'll have your truck on jackstand one morning and he'll have a nice spiffy diff in his

CPNEJR · 10-22-2003, 08:01 PM

junkyarddog1956 · 10-22-2003, 08:07 PM

Heck of a deal on the truck ....best of luck to you 2 , on the project ...she oughta be pretty .... jyd

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 10-23-2003, 09:58 AM

When I got home last night he had the steering wheel changed (as I thought) and then tells me to look at the glove box door.
What do I see but 3;73 POSI. I can't believe it. When I bought My truck for $1800 it didn't have squat. He picks this one up for $900 and it's got everything but AC. Lucky little Sh!t

Oh well at least I get to work on it too.

I'll keep you all posted as it progresses.
