Resurrecting a 1970 Chevy C10 sitting 25 years!

Buying and cleaning up a 70 chevy C10 with lots of issues, I'll try to rectify all of them if this gem will cooperate.
check out my other 72 GMC C10 swb videos it's a great truck with lots of potential

[@ckel6676]

Nice video. One suggestion: lose the music. The goodness is the truck and your narrative. :)

[@houseoffolly]

I know short beds look better but I like my long bed on my 1969 C10, actually looked for a long bed , where I can haul longer items with the gate up. Yes, it is a work truck .

[@Harrybowles1969]

same 69 longbed. I keep toying with idea of shortening it but don't think I can bring my self to do it

[@Harrybowles1969]

iv been working on my truck 4 years and the more I clean her up the less cool I think she gets. if I do another I'm leaving her like yours 👍

[@karipayne3860]

She’s beautiful I just got a 72 c10

[@CBeverything]

I’m looking at a 72 c10 right now. What can you say about the cost of restoring it was?

[@patrickdonnell3591]

That bumper is the cherry on top! My ‘70 C20 has the original bumper from Frankston Chevrolet in TX, but San Antone is cool as dirt!

[@johnhutchinson9714]

Nice wheel, a fair bit of sweat getting the rest nice, I'm looking forward to watching it's progress.Good luck.

[@DenisEdwards-ls2de]

Think id patch in the bed quick and get a plastic bed liner..maybe alloy checker plate for the top of bed. Powder coat mat black..if you get a belt sander with a fine paper you could make a patena paint job. Cool base colour. Pull the engine is easy and pull sump..could be simple as a stuck starter. Hard to break a chevy motor.. but pull motor new timming chain..etc etc. Keep it simple..it will look good. Nice truck. Good luck.

[@edryan2926]

Love the video. Love the truck. I hope someone else takes on the parts of the restoration to get it back on the road. Michigan doesn't have anything left, in that good of condition.

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

she's already looking better

[@camaroguy2919]

FYI they came like that. It's called three on the tree. Or colum shifter. Cool project bro.

[@74nova36]

Oh he thought the stick was for an auto? So they did mate 350s up to those 3 speeds? I was considering swapping a 327 or 350 into my 74 nova but wanted to keep the three speed

[@Harrybowles1969]

​​@@74nova36 yea they came with 350 SB or 396 BB in 1970 to that 3 on a tree. put a 700r4 in mine for the overdrive. gets 18 to the gallon now

[@troywright7046]

Nice truck to fix up

[@trickyricky12147]

Cool find. Yeah these aren't as cheap as they were in the 90s, but they aren't as popular as the 73-87 years as of currently. At the same time, the 67-72s were popular before the Square Bodies were, so that could be why the value has gone down a couple hundred bucks, lol. In that condition it's around $1300 dollars and that has a role in the value too.

[@roberthinkle981]

That’s gas tanks tougher than a night in jail

[@duanewhite3184]

Steam cleaning a truck with a pressure washer helps reduce rust and washes off any salt that gets on it from salty roads and Air

[@carolhofbauer2450]

There is nothing wrong with the rear springs that’s the way they are from the factory 👍

[@carguy3028]

I saw that your bed looks trashed, the front panel rotted out, bed floor rotted, and at least 1 side rotted out. Lmc truck has quality replacement panels, I ended up getting the whole bed from them in pieces and put it together. I opted to get the wood floor, it was less money than a steel floor and looks cool but if I were to use it I would go steel floor.

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

Yeah a company in found was making inner bed side patches but sadly its discontinued

[@carguy3028]

@@streamlinebuilds1490 for me the fact that it would need to be patched plus the time spent straightening out the bed side and $450 for a replacement side sounds really good. My whole bed with all new metal, oak wood floor, stainless steel strips and roll pan ran about 2k. Considering used short beds run $1500 and are rough 2k and no body work sounds good.

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

I like the older chevy trucks. We have about 50 of the 67 thru 72 trucks. most are parts trucks. I even have a 71 thats a factory big block.

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

Sounds like a good collection.

[@dennisperusse3837]

Looks like a stick on the column called 3 on the tree.

[@AndrewHCann]

I say got nice find truck also motor be 327 or 350 with 2 or 4barrel carburetor types with hand choke also knob be on right side of dash top , Manual transmission be famous 3 speed in tree plus would put racing clutch type in it , rear end be 303 to 410 ratio also be 4 wheel with drum or disk on front and drum on back !

[@therepublicoftexas7068]

Had a 72 chyenne short bed I miss it

[@metalbill]

The second digit in the vin E says it came with an 8 cylinder engine. S would be for a 6. CE140= Chevrolet, Eight, half ton, box bed and 1970.

[@jeffrey4547]

i been building a 68 pu i put in a stroked 454 with a heavy duty 400 turbo 12 bolt possi best part the rig has no rust even have a extra cab that has no rust i gave the 327 to my kid for his 67 pu

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

Sounds like a really cool project.

[@codypeterson7166]

Those stickers are the old Texas registration and inspection, the 9-6 is an expiration of sep of 96

[@juanantniobarrera7815]

Me gustó el video Pero no entendí nada delo qué habló

[@Canadian_Icecube]

Good job. Very cool build. Following for sure!11

[@h.i.sc-10tips31]

Great to see old trucks restored

[@rodneymahan1307]

This truck looks like it's been under water !

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

Just watched my own video and really enjoyed it lol

[@eddieb9143]

Dude, this is a jewel and a piece of art that can help with PTSD. At any rate, what year, make, model did the Nissan Wheels come off and did you have to modify the wheels and what were the size 16 inch? Let me know. I need a set of wheels to move mine around. My is almost as rusty as yours. Thanks in advance.

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

Since Toyota and Nissan 4x4 have larger hub bore size than GM any generation wheels will fit that are 6lug. I hope you enjoy your project!

[@eddieb9143]

Thanks for the info.

[@sprout8824]

Did you ever get this truck running? Like to see more videos of this truck love them model Chevy trucks

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

This truck was locked up solid but I did end up rebuilding another short box in some more recent videos

[@keithhill9138]

I know exactly what l would do to this truck. Change the front clip to 67-68, change to 4 wheel drive positract frnt.rear, redo interior w-factory air w-tach. make it like CST of that era. Also electric wi ndows & seats, insulate whole cab with sound deadner. Take the whole truck apart down to frame. What would you sell it for as is?

[@karipayne3860]

Mines purple and black with red interior it must have been popular

[@chadrech9230]

That clutch rod is a V8 clutch rod, 6's had a straight rod. And spiral shock absorbers?

[@alexcameron3725]

Man that’s sad they just spray painted it like that then left it for all that time

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

Check out my latest 72 GMC swb videos it's got a lot of potential

[@adamheazlett1179]

Leave all machinery guards on.When you grind your fingers you will learn

[@Spennyman10]

Wow a lot of work ahead of good luck. Just friendly reminder those grinder sparks will damage you good glass. Might consider a tetanus booster. Lol.

[@rustyjunkgarage1418]

Did you do anything else with this truck? Seems to be the only video of it you have

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

No sir, I decided to give up on it and look for something a little better shape. It was a cool truck and it is currently being rebuilt from the frame up by it's new owner.

[@melvinshupe4588]

I'm sort of disappointed that you don't show that you did instead you snap your fingers and it's done I can't learn anything that way

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

Sorry my friend, sometimes I try to fit so much into one video it gets too long.

[@FeRmBot0118]

How much did you pay for the truck ??

[@scotthainsel8703]

How much is a truck like that in a barn find condition worth.

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

I sold that truck for $1800 different areas may be worth more all about supply and demand.

[@stevenboykin4709]

Cool man! What part of Texas did you pick it up from?

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

This came out just south east of San Antonio.

[@AndrewM251]

Do you just have one video of this truck I can’t find videos

[@niher1]

6:25 was that a bug? lol

[@petejoseph8257]

Score!

[@roberthaynes4695]

What is the latest update on the this truck?

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

I sold that truck, it was too rough. I have another 72 swb I'm working with right now.

[@omegared8663]

I just bought one of these with no title of course. How can i get a title?

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

In Texas you apply for a bonded title, in other states like Oregon you just apply for a lost title and in 30 days if the previous owner doesn't claim the vehicle you get the title.

[@rmcstonefabrication]

How much

[@74nova36]

So did you sell her off for a little profit?

[@streamlinebuilds1490]

I believe I made about $500 not too bad not too good either.

[@74nova36]

@@streamlinebuilds1490 F in A, sounds fun to me

[@jesseandis4351]

How much do you want for it

This truck is already gone sorry. I'll be selling the blue 72 gmc swb soonish

Dude buy a bed that thing is gone . Take off cut out all the bad then look at it . Over 75 percent is gone . Not worth the effort an time .
