1970 Chevrolet C10 CST/10 review from North America
"The best body style Chevy had for a truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mild rust on rocker panels and some surface rust on the floor pans.
Right side exhaust came undone and hit the rear u-joint. Didn't cause any noticeable damage, but dented the muffler up.
Windshield seal leaks and drips water onto my leg while driving in the rain.
Didn't have a thermostat when I bought it. Someone had taken it out, so the heater never really blew any cold air.
A/C doesn't work.
General comments?
It's a great truck. I had a 1969 once and always wanted another. I found this 1970 (they look a lot alike) and bought it.
Has a strong running 350, the turbo 350 tranny had been rebuilt about three years before I got it. It had also been repainted three years before I got it. Looks awesome!
Bought it sight unseen, picked it up and drove it 200 miles home at night in the rain... and it ran like a top. Now in the process of doing a mild restore.
