1970 gmc 1500
I am new to the forum and finally got my first old truck. I have been looking for awhile for an unmolested original. White top with blue and then white rocker panel below molding.
Picking it up next week and hope all goes well. PB, PS, 350 V8 Automatic. Big towing type mirrors. AM radio still works. Appears to have 52K miles. Looks like no rust with wood bed that is black and looks mint. It seems the GMC is much rarer to find. Any advantage to this or just personal preference? I was looking for whatever one popped up. Wish me luck. I cannot wait. |

Re: 1970 gmc 1500
Personal preference, mainly a different grill, front fenders same as 67-68 chevy, basicly the same truck.

Re: 1970 gmc 1500
As I have been reading the board and looking at the pictures from the seller the truck appears to be a 1970 Sierra Grande. (script on rear bed panels)
Blue vinyl interior. Seat, carpet, steering wheel, door panels, glove box and even the dash bezel are a matching blue. Exterior is White/Med Blue/White. Wood grain on top of door panels, lower body side molding and tail gate molding. Chrome hubcaps and this one has a wood bed. (it is black though) I cannot see a headliner photo so not sure on that. This all appears correct from what I have been reading. I guess I found an original rare bird here. I cannot wait to pick her up. |

Re: 1970 gmc
Very clean and rust free. I got home and after a 2 day 665 mile ride.
Had an issue or two plus radiator tank weeping so need a new radiator but I made it. |

Re: 1970 gmc 1500
The truck even had 3 T3 headlights! How's that for original. I was shocked seeing three of them.

Re: 1970 gmc 1500
The guy was in love with cosmoline so it was well preserved.
I can't take my hands off the wheel. I do need a new radiator and s tail pipe on the exhaust. Also she runs well, but the idle is low on a cold start so I need to look for that issue. Other than that she's a beast, moves like a rocket. 350 v8 PS PB |
