Some trucks get their attitude from oversized wheels and wild
paint. This 1970 Chevrolet Stepside lets its sculpted rear fenders,
blue finish, and Rally wheels do the talking. Part of Chevrolet's
celebrated 1967-1972 pickup generation, it carries the classic
proportions that keep enthusiasts coming back. Fleetside production
pulled ahead of Stepside production in 1970, giving this
traditional bed style a less common place in that year's pickup
lineup.
Under the hood sits a 307ci small block V8 backed by a Turbo 350
automatic, a combination that fits this Chevy's straightforward
personality. An aluminum radiator adds a practical cooling upgrade,
while manual steering and manual brakes preserve the hands-on
character of an old-school pickup. This is classic Chevrolet
hardware with an appeal that goes well beyond the spec sheet.
The blue paint is rated driver quality, making this a truck to
appreciate with realistic expectations about its finish. Out back,
the Stepside bed delivers the visual payoff, with a wood floor
accented by stainless strips. A fuel tank mounted beneath the bed
and a full-size spare round out the equipment.
Inside, the black interior keeps things simple with a bench seat,
floor-mounted shifter, and no center console. A tachometer brings
engine speed into view, while an aftermarket radio supplies the
soundtrack. From its small block drivetrain to its wood-lined bed,
this Chevy brings together the details that make a vintage pickup
such a satisfying addition to the garage.
