1970 Chevrolet C-10 Description
I do NOT know the true miles on this truck or on the build. The speedometer cable is not hooked up because it needs a different speedometer gear to match the new rear axle gear ratio.Miles are very low since the build. Appearance of theengine and the headers help to verify low miles.
Ireceived this truck in a trade arrangement. I have it for sale simply because I have no use for it.I'd ratherbuy or trade for a C5, or newer, Corvette.
There is nothing wrong with any of the drive train of this truck. Very strong running truck...starts, runs, drives, and stops without any issues.
454 built to 427 specs, similar to a 1969 Corvette...plus nitrous.500 to 700 horsepower depending on size of nitrous shot.Blue printed Spun balanced for automatic transmission.3000 rpm stall converter.
Originally a rust free California truck that has a complete frame off "show quality" restoration.Paint is like a mirror, with very few nicks and scratches. Super smooth and shiny. The door jambshave ahighly detailed paint theme.The underneathof the truckis also painted.
Any surface rust on the new suspension under truck is from humidity. NOT from being in the rain. Stored inside since build.
These YouTube videosshow the truck startingand running. Plus details under the hood, inside, outside, and underneath the truck.These videos are part of the description of this truck. And should be viewed for a completedescription of this truck.April 30, 2016
