Re: 70 lwb
The plan is rebuild the factory motor,put a 700r4 behind it and put a new running gear in for decent mileage, find a newer set of seats for comfort and make her my daily driver! Glad to hear someone likes the ORANGE....This is a local truck from Concord, bought new in NC and been here all her life, she was a special order truck with ac, bed side toolbox, power steering,brakes and cargo light.

Re: 70 lwb
Thanks, got more done just don't seem to stop long enough to take pictures. Lower molding is on new bumpers, carpet, door panels, arm rests, visors and mirror, got a set of seats from a 98 chevy but I did not like the way they fit so took the original bench to my upholstery guy and told him to do what ever he thought would look good(he has done a lot of seats for me and I find that letting him do his thing works out best and is less expensive) got a very nice grill and ordered a tach dash from a board member..waiting for it now, had the windshield installed and I have a few issues with it...the installer is going to redo it(this will be the 3rd gasket and 2nd set of trim
 ) linex spray liner is in the works. I will try to get a few pics up this week.
