I just got my first truck. it is a 1970 c20 4wd-traded my uncle for working in his yard. it has a V8 350, 4:56 axles, and 4 on the floor. It has been sitting in his yard for about 5 years after he got a snowblower and didn't need a plow anymore. I'm doing a complete frame off restoration,Taking off the plow, putting on a 6-inch lift, adding a manual overdrive, new cab and front clip. The truck has 95000 miles on it. the engine has only 6000. it got a new engine after he dropped it through the lake. i got the truck for pretty cheap but it will end up costing a lot. I can't wait to finish it!
How do I post pictures?

Cool! To post pics, Click the "Photo album" at the top in the orange bar. Set up a photo album and then post a link to your pic's,

has to be one of my favorite body styles the 67-72 GM, parts are pretty easy to find either NOS or repop, good luck on the resto.
I had a 72 2wd soft top Blazer about 10 years ago, I went down with mine tho, a 3/4 inch drop, fun truck!
