Narrative:
I contracted ccr tower over the mothball fleet. Advised to enter straight-in for runway 19L. Listening to the tower frequency I heard ccr direct a cherokee somewhere nearby to the east also to runway 19L. I looked for the traffic and did not see any. Over malland reservoir (approximately 2 mi final), I contacted ccr tower to report my position. I heard the cherokee report a similar position for runway 19L straight-in. I looked up and left and saw a cherokee approximately 100 ft above and 100 ft left of me. I stayed right. I contacted ccr tower who cleared me for straight-in final runway 19R. Landing was uneventful. I think I (C170) and the cherokee were cleared by ccr tower for same approach (straight-in runway 19L) and were in close proximity. At least one of us should have been cleared for runway 19L or sequenced differently.

Title: A C170 PLT RPTS AN NMAC WITH A PA28, BOTH VFR AND INBOUND TO CCR FROM THE SAME AREA.
Narrative: I CONTRACTED CCR TWR OVER THE MOTHBALL FLEET. ADVISED TO ENTER STRAIGHT-IN FOR RWY 19L. LISTENING TO THE TWR FREQ I HEARD CCR DIRECT A CHEROKEE SOMEWHERE NEARBY TO THE E ALSO TO RWY 19L. I LOOKED FOR THE TFC AND DID NOT SEE ANY. OVER MALLAND RESERVOIR (APPROX 2 MI FINAL), I CONTACTED CCR TWR TO RPT MY POS. I HEARD THE CHEROKEE RPT A SIMILAR POS FOR RWY 19L STRAIGHT-IN. I LOOKED UP AND L AND SAW A CHEROKEE APPROX 100 FT ABOVE AND 100 FT L OF ME. I STAYED R. I CONTACTED CCR TWR WHO CLRED ME FOR STRAIGHT-IN FINAL RWY 19R. LNDG WAS UNEVENTFUL. I THINK I (C170) AND THE CHEROKEE WERE CLRED BY CCR TWR FOR SAME APCH (STRAIGHT-IN RWY 19L) AND WERE IN CLOSE PROX. AT LEAST ONE OF US SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLRED FOR RWY 19L OR SEQUENCED DIFFERENTLY.
