70 c10 shop truck
I thought I'd share some pictures of the shop truck I'd built. It's a 70 that started life as a long bed. Very well optioned truck as well. I'd been trying to buy the truck for a few years but the old man refused to sell it claiming he turned down offers of over 10k. So anyways a few years pass and I get a call from his wife. He had passed away and she wanted it out of there. I ended up paying 1000 for it and hauled it back to the shop. It was extremely solid the only rust at all was a quarter sized blister in the drivers rocker so I replaced that. I personally do not like the 69 up body trim so it went away when I shortened the truck up. All around it ended up being a fun build with quite a few little details. It has a 350 with a 4 speed and a 5.5-7 suspension drop. The day I finished it I had it sold. Anyways check it out and enjoy!

Re: 70 c10 shop truck
One thing to note in the pictures here is the radio is actually the center ac vent. I gutted the radio and then built a plate that fitted the back of the face plate to attach the hose too its a good way to keep from hacking those factory dashes up.

Re: 70 c10 shop truck
The fauxtina is a a bit of a process. You start with black epoxy then dark brown, then light brown, then black, then gold then you use a buffer to mow through layers until you're happy with the look it's kind of a crude process to make it look real. You can use a paint stick to scratch it and chip it when its still fresh
