1970 Chevrolet C-10 Description

1970 Chevy C10 Stepside Short Bed
Truck is a beautiful driver. Much of the truck is either brand new or refreshed. Perfect truck for local car shows and around town cruising. With the 3.07 12-bolt rear, it's not bad on the highway either.
Under the hood, the original 350 was replaced with a 1988 Chevy 350 engine. The heads were redone. It has a brand new Edelbrock 1406 Electric Choke carb and high rise intake. Alternator and power steering pump are new. All gaskets have been replaced. New chrome oil pan. New idler pulley assembly and newer serpentine belt. New radiator and heater hoses. Transmission has been resealed and a new Lokar kickdown cable has been installed. Brand new HEI distributor. Brand new battery. Does run a bit rich.
The chassis and suspension has totally been redone. The frame was blasted. Truck has been lowered 4" in front and 5" in the rear the right way with CPP spindles and coil springs. Brakes are brand new all around with new rotors, calipers, pads and backing plates in the front and resurfaced drums, new shoes and wheel cylinders in the back. All new ball joints, tie rods and bushings installed. New cab mount bushings. Brand new quick ratio steering gear. Spartan USA 255/60/15 classic radial tires, wheels and hubcaps are brand new. Most of the brake lines have been replaced with stainless steel. Dual exhaust from the headers back is all brand new. New differential cover.
The body received a fresh coat of Nason 2K Urethane in GM514 red. The old wood bed has been replaced with new maple with aluminum strips. The magnet test suggests that there is some filler on a cab corner and a few spots on the rockers, but I could not tell by from the eyeball test. It shines like glass. The inside of the bed was done with a sprayed bedliner. New tailgate chains and chain covers. The taillights and marker lights are all new. Inner fenders are brand new. Floor pan is solid and shows no evidence of patching. The chrome front and rear bumpers were rechromed with zero pitting. Door handles are brand new. Just about every nut and bolt on this truck has been replaced.
Finally, the interior. The carpet and kick panels, and seat upholstery are brand new. New door sills.New door panels and window cranks. Instrument bezel is brand new. I put a brand new speedometer cable in but it's not working. I am including a new drive and driven gear that matches the tire diameter and gear ratio. The headlights, directionals, interior light, instrument lighting, horn and radio work fine. The temp gauge stopped working when I replaced the bezel. I will also be including a second complete cluster with the truck, with all gauges. Ignition cylinder and bezel is brand new. Heat works. All door seals and rubber bumpers are brand new. After replacing the door seals, driver door needs a harder pull to shut all the way. Was fine prior. Steering wheel and column are original. Dash and ceiling were painted black. Would benefit from color. Fuel tank was professionally flushed and new sending unit installed.
