Hello Howie!
Hope your summer was a good one. Hopefully next year you, Doyle and I can meet up.
Plans for the C10 include:
Stock suspension and rally rims with new bushings, ball joints,etc.
Stock body lines and paint. I might darken the green some and run a painted trim break between the green upper body and planned black lower panels. I might remove the Bow tie from the hood.
Interior- stock with upgraded seat and a 67/68 steering wheel. I like those better.
Engine - hopefully LS3
Trans- 4L--E of some size
I want it to look like Grandpa's truck, but haul soooo much more than it used.

I am aware of the difference in grilles between the two. Doesn't the 70 have the squares in the plastic but also the horizontal, little chrome 5 high "stacks" on it too?

I have my plan formed for bracing the cab and to start the surgery. I just need more time. With my brand new little wrench fetcher, Everett, and my wife needing support, I don't get as much done as before! 😎 Stuff is still moving forward just more slowly these days!

Like this truck but different rims, ride height and paint combo.
