1970 c10 custom build
 

been watching and learning from other members builds and thought i would share mine. started this as a retirement build 4 years ago and finished enough to put a few miles on it last month. bought a rough 1970 long bed roller and stripped it bare. everything was done at home by my son and i.
i wanted a hotrod style build more than a restoration. pretty happy so far.
