Ain't you funny !

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

I would be afraid to drive it not that it’s not road worthy I wouldn’t want to damage it.

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles

Joe, most of the words to describe such a truck have been used and rightly so but Damn man, that is just an absolutely phenomenal find! Never have I seen an original mileage truck of that caliber before. That is a treasure for sure, congrats on such a find. :chevy:

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Thank you for Sharing! What amazing Find!

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Congrats Joe! Good job on the hunt and persistence! How did you find out about it?

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

X2! This one belongs in the time capsule thread!

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Noted this on many factory photos, and this one also, original engine color looks more reddish than orangish.

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Yes, it really does look more red than orange

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

I actually got word of it off a Facebook post about originally. A guy posted a few pictures of this truck in the owners garage. I private messaged the guy and asked if this was for sale. This was 3 years ago. The owner never listed it for sale. I finally got the guy to give me the owners contact info. So I called, he said he was thinking about selling it. In 3 days I was on a plane to see the truck. The owner was a very talkative, but extremely nice man. We visited for several hours and I said I want the truck when you decide on a price. We became friends over the next 2 1/2 years. Lots of phone calls, talking about nothing more than life and the weather. Then in November of 2020 he called and said he was ready to sell and gave me a price. I agreed, and flew out again to see him and the truck. It took him until 3 weeks ago to finally let me pay him and come pick it up. I really wanted a picture of him and I with the truck. So I rented an enclosed trailer and hit the road.

Great find, great story. Congrats!

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

That’s what it’s about
:chevy:
Right there

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Really remarkable. Does it have the dual battery setup?

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Looks like the tray is there.

Good story Joe, really glad you’re the new owner

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Yes it does. I ordered 2 batteries for it yesterday.

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Very Nice can't wait to see it in person.

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Wow! Awesome truck Joe! This has to be maybe 1 of 10 left with that low of miles I'm guessing? Was it a tight fit in that trailer? It looks like it would have been. :lol:

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

It was a little tight, but fit with no issues

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

WOW, what a great truck. Best of luck with it.

I am partial the hub caps. I bought a set off this forum and painted them up.

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

Not many adjectives left to use, what a find and what a beauty. Congrats!

Re: 1971 K/20 with 10,104 original miles
 

That is one nice truck I hope to have my 68 looking half as good one day
