Texan's 1969 Chevy CST/10 project
Just ****in' around to the older forum I havent been to in ages...
This truck is the proverbial found it behind a house type story. My neighbor had it stored at a friends of his's house for a long while. It was gonna become a work truck, but it was too long to fit into his garage. So he offered it to me for $500. Its a (rare) 1969 Chevy CST/10. CST is short of Custom Spor Truck, the top trim level for the Chevy C10s in '69. Much like how Denali is top ranks for the Yukon. Only 6% of all the pickups in '69 were the CST package, and around an estimate 5000 or so in my trucks configuration, The longbed CST10, as opposed to shortbeds/CST20s/CST30s/etc For the sake of time, Im just gonna quote from my thread on XMW: Quote:

The GM brothers are still boxy
I love the both. Unlike that porky, unholy thing called the new Tundra... These things are a bit rounder than you think, and I love these old time body lines. This is my dream truck, ever since I saw the C10 special edition in Truckin' mag, I drooled over the chance to own one... even though their hard to find cheap. Then 6 months later, I now own one. I bought it back in January. Some ya'll might remember my past plans to do a 1998 GMC Jimmy http://www.xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4004 . But I couldnt pass this amazing truck up. Some things need to be changed a bit from the original plans: New rims, some 17x7s front, 17x8s rear. Down to a few choices on what style. Lowed about 2 in the front, maybe drop the rear a few. But thats not final til we get an engine in and see how low it drops on its own. front disk brake conversion (GMC pauls, comes with lowerd spindals). The tahoe V8 is still an option, but Im gonna start trying to work my dad into using his 400hp TPI V8 that he has in storage since its literally, ready to go (see GMC thread for that engines story, im sure its there). But itd have to be de-tuned before I would get it... "400hp is too much"... Yeh, my dad has a 400+hp Camaro in highschool, lol. Never dyno'd, but ran 12s on street radials, and did a high 9s with drag slicks and racing gas, so you know it did business.

THanks guys.
The one on left is the Silverado. Started a bit of interior work today, making some door panels. This will be the backing for the custom door panels. Both sides were cut from 1/8 inch particleboard, traced from the original door panels. Then the window crank and door handle holes were drilled out. Later the mounting screw holes will be drilled once I get a final fit (still a bit of trimming here and there, but for now both fit up real good) and the bottomc corners will be rounded. Arm rests will be made, and like the Copperhead from Trucks!, will mount in the stock location, but stretch forward to cover part of the door handle. Just the round part, leaving the handle sticking out enough to grab. Giving it a more modern look.

Nice, i dunno how many Orange Chevy trucks i have seen but not many.. lol
Looks like its in pretty good condition, nice find. I myself have been looking for a project car too, either a car or truck Not a 69' and not a Chevy but.. My grandfather has a 73' GMC 1500 Super Custom. Its Blue with a white cap top, runs like a top always have it in running order. Its been back and forth from Florida and Michigan, and its got over 200k on it. We did rebuild the motor but that was just to make it new again. One nice thing is its has little to no rust, a few dime sized spots on the bed that's about all. Here's a few pics but i don't wanna high jack you thread. Again very nice truck you have.

AH man, how awesome. I saw one of the same body style a few nights ago. I love these ol' GM trucks. Glad to see Im no the only GM lover.
Both side rockers are rusted, I can see the ground from the driveer side rocker. The top of the passenger A-pillar has some tar/putty crap, so I guess it might be rusted, and the bottom of the passenger side of the windshield is rusted through. And, the passenger side fender, where it meets the bumper is gone. But as you can tell, its not so obliviouse to the world. Im sure you guys are gonna now scroll up to the other pics to see what Ive just pointed out too, lol. Also, is the truck all original, or has some body parts been replaced?

So, I was watching MTV (yah, you know I'm a hypocrite) and I saw the "Bullet for a Valentine" video, and you know the guy is in a car, and he gets hit by a Chevy. The Chevy is very similar to what you have, but it's still in primer....
B4V sucks. That was an okay video when they were all playing, but otherwise, naw... Hey, I haven't seen many either, but my math teacher drove a Candy Metalic Orange Comarrow... And that car had some power... Then again, how many math teachers listen to Korn?

Your hijacking the thread #1, get your box truck off here
#2 Its a 69, use a VIN decoder if you dont believe me. there are a few different gauge configurations, the 3 hole style, and the one with the optional gauges like mine. Also, wood beds were an OPTION. I know these trucks pretty **** well
