"Big Al" '70 Long Fleet

In what appears to be my never-ending saga of TADD (Truck Attention Deficit Disorder), I picked up this 1970 Chevrolet LWB Fleetside a few nights ago. The truck is my favorite color combo with the 538 Dark Blue and the white roof. The truck has super cool original paint patina which I really like. It doesn't necessarily have a cool story, nor can I document much of its history past about 6 months ago, but it was originally purchased at Paul Smith Chevrolet in Albertville, AL (hence the name). I'm suspecting it lived most of its life in and around the AL/GA line.

The truck is probably the most rust free and straight truck I've ever owned and has a really strong running rebuilt 307 with a th350. As for rust, it needs a driver's rocker, floor patch, front passenger cup and inner fender, and the tailgate is rusty at the bottom, but other than that it's in really great condition. I've never even seen an original paint, rust free rocker around here but this truck has it with the passenger side rocker. All the ones I've looked at have either been replaced or both were eaten up. The bed floor is almost perfect, too. The interior paint is very nice and dash is uncut but the seat, panels, and dash pad are all shot.

Here are a few pics. Stay tuned as I have some modest plans for it to make it a fun driver truck to cruise and haul stuff. I need to find a piece of drivers bed trim and one half of the tailgate trim but other than that it's all there and straight. First thing to go: the wheels. Then, add a sport bumper.
