Beautiful. My dad gave me the old farm truck when I started driving. It was a 1972 C-10 Deluxe. Forest green on the body and a light green cab top. I wish I had it back. I was 15 and had a little job that barely paid enough to put gas in it. We were together until I was 18. Three years seemed like a decade to me looking back. I’m 57 now and have the money to fix one up. My kids are grown and gone. Thanks for sharing your experience with restoring that beautiful Chevy to her glory days.
Great truck! I paid $1200 for a 69 CST/10 396 pick-up in 1987.. rebuilt the engine and drove the everlovin daylights out of that truck for many years.. I still have it.. gonna restore it for my daughter..
Nice restoration, enjoy it and the memories. Looking forward to start on mine. Will restore instead of hot rodding this one. 1968 short fleet side bed, large window, 6, three speed manual. Third owner, second to actaully drive it. Forest green w/white top.
I just need a paint job and a rewiring to make my truck decent. I had the time and/or money I'd go full primo restore. I've cared for my C-10 for the past 44 years, so I know what I got.
This C10 came with a 350. Check to see if you still have a service parts id sticker in the glove box of the truck, it will tell you what options your truck had when it was originally purchased. You can also run the vin number on the engine to see if it was ever replaced.
You and your father did a Great Job!
Thank you!
There ain't nothing wrong with long bed pickups! Congrats on keeping it long!
I agree, nothing wrong with a long bed. I wanted to keep it original.

Thanks for checking out the video, maybe you will find another 72' deluxe one day.

That sounds great, she will be lucky to have it.

Thanks for checking out the video, good luck on your restoration. Forest green and white sounds nice, I like the two tone trucks.
Great restoration, beautifully done! Get your dad a mask for when he paints!
I purchased respirator's for both of us for painting. He had one but rarely used it.
I had a 1970 C/10 Suburban back in the 80s.... I put a ton of miles on it... so glad I even had one... great job on this build

You did excellent job I am surprised you didn’t install disc brakes.
Thanks. The extra stopping power of the disc brakes would be nice, but I just decided to go with the booster.
love it
Thanks for checking out the video.
What was the original motor. We just bought one and wanted to see if the original motor was in it.

I am told that original patina was priceless... may I ask how much you paid for the truck itself (not the full cost of the restoration)?
$4500, patina will always come back if have the truck long enough.
@@ClassicCarAlert-sc1rg Many thanks for the reply...
Are you sure the original paint/ color code was olive green ? There looks to be alot of red on the cab.
Yes, exterior of the truck was Medium Olive, option number 504 in 1970.
How much was it ?
Like to c finish truck. Very sharp
