I had a C-10 CST package, with optional power disc brakes. It really was nice. Little brother wrecked a 70 Nova with a 250ci six I'd rebuilt so installed that replacing the original, but tired 350. I drove that truck a couple of years repainting it the two tone Astro Blue, and Arctic White color scheme. I liked the wood grain trim accents as was different from others.

The guy sitting in the truck is the original and only owner of the truck; he bought it brand-new. The truck, as you have probably already noticed, is column-shifted 3-speed. Chevrolet put the column-shift in trucks at least until 1980, even in the 4WD trucks. In the late 1970s, a friend purposefully bought/resold numerous column-shifted 4WD trucks. Why on earth would anyone in his right mind purposefully order a column-shifted 4WD when it was just as easy to get a 4-speed ? In those years, a manual truck came with the bullet-proof NP205 and locking hubs; automatics were only available with the problematic chain-drive NP203 and full-time hubs. This guy was taking brand-new trucks with less than 100-miles on them and replacing the 3-speed manual and column with Turbo-400 automatics and columns removed from big GM cars, station wagons, and the like. s wanting automatics, but not wanting the NP203, were lined up on his waiting list.

I had several trucks with the NP203 transfer case. Heavy thing but not hard to work with once a support was welded to hold it proper on a jack. Near everything domestic had that in the mid 70's. You knew it was time for a chain when they started skipping violently over the drive hubs/sprockets. Full time 4X4 was nice but $$$ in fuel consumption. Don't know why a guy would change the whole column as the lower mast jacket was all that was needed to rid of the column shifter assembly. If going to an automatic the spacer than contained the shift position indicator had to be installed. That wasn't too difficult to change and did many myself along with the shifter tubes, and bearings that ran in the column. Those were, and still are some popular trucks. ------------- That's All Folks! |
