Just picked it up today! 1970 Chevy K10, half ton 4X4, 350 small block, factory air, factory tach, factory tilt wheel & cab light. Needs some work but in damned good shape for a 42 year old truck.

. That is a nice looking rig. The fleet side is nice. Is that an OEM color? I'm not a Chevy guy. It would get destroyed here. I'm looking for a Snow-cat, but this weather has them all bought up.
I'm not sure if this is OEM color or not. This is a repaint, and not a very good one. You can see the original color in spots when you open the door and it's a light green. A friend of mine also has a 1970 and his has this same paint scheme with the white over light blue and his is original.
. The reason that I asked was that there used to be a GMC around here of the same vintage and it had a color that was close to that, but not quite; which actually was OEM. GMC/CHEVY used to seem to have alot of interesting colors. It looks way too nice to work it, esp. off road. What kind of ballpark price did you give, ( if you want to say). Rigs that old around here are usually REALLY beat.

It looks to be in a lot better shape in the photo than it really is. It definitely needs work just to be a dependable driver. But, I expected that because I've looked at and drove a LOT of them and they go for a pretty penny even if they're junk. What kind of ballpark price did you give, ( if you want to say). I gave $6000.00 for this one, which is very good for it's condition. The body only has a few minor spots that need attention and it needs a new GOOD paint job. Mechanically it's a little rougher. The bones are good, the motor and tranny are good with about a year and a half on complete rebuilds. The rest is a bit rough, but that's OK cause I'll enjoy the hell out of fixing it up. I may even do a complete frame off restoration. It needs it.
