I bought a new project a couple weeks ago. This is a 1970 Chevy SWB truck. Previous owner stripped it down to bare metal and had it painted hugger orange. Afterwards he decided he had one too many projects, which is where I step in. Truck doesn't have a bed, but thats on my list.

Truck has no motor or transmission, which is exactly what I wanted. Definitely going to be LSX powered. I'm really leaning towards putting this on top of a 99+ 4x4 truck frame and suspension.

Here the truck is in its original paint. No rust and straight body.



Getting some color...



After orange...




I'm going to pick it up this week and will get some pictures of all the items I start collecting for it. I'm looking forward to this one!

 

looks like a fun and challenging project, i love the orange

 

congrats brother! That is a sweet color in person! you going to rally stripe it?

you guys make me jealous as hell!

 

Very nice. I have a buddy back in virginia that has a original orange c-10 that we called tigger. So whats the deal with the ss? keeping it or selling it?

 

I think its going to go, but I'm going to keep it around a bit longer.

 

Congrats Richard!

 

Looks like fun!!

 

Looks like a solid truck.

 

Thanks guys. I think its going to be a fun project.

XLR8NSS tells me I have to use the new LSX block for this project, and I just may do that. The block is the right color, so its a natural fit. Gotta have a set of these valve covers to go with it.

 

niiice. those trucks look pretty slick with a 88-98 style stepside bed on them. plus they are fiberglass so they dont weigh much
