Met A Member Today
 

I met member cooldudecoco today.He came out to my place this morning in one of his trucks and I must say,"I like his style".I just love having another truck sitting in my driveway.It`s been awhile since I`ve had another K/20 here and I just had to take pictures.Oh,about that guy driving the truck.It was a pleasure meeting Doug and I`m sure we`ll meet again,soon.I have to go down and snoop around at his stuff now.

Gotta love this truck.Reminds me of one you`d see in a brochure:

Don't see that many 71 grills with the black paint still looking nice. Is it original?

Re: Met A Member Today

Yeah,couldn`t get him to leave it there.DAGNABBIT!!!! He restored it and did the detail painting.He wants to put the utility buckets in it.It is bone stock.The motor looked as good as outside.

Re: Met A Member Today
 

It is just that ,,real nice truck .. like the color also . sounded like you lost consintration between talking about Doug and talking about his truck.. LOL all in fun Oregon larry

Re: Met A Member Today
 

That's one nice K20. It looks tough as nails.

Re: Met A Member Today
 

Wow, 13 NOS tailgates thread has been cleaned by Big Brother. How about an explanation next time Guys and Gals(Moderators). That's just silly.

Re: Met A Member Today
 

I just noticed, good eye.

Re: Met A Member Today
 

Something to be said about simplicity. Great looking K20!

Re: Met A Member Today
 

Seems we are owed an explanation when our posts are eliminated at the very least, don't you think?

Re: Met A Member Today
 

It wasn`t Big Brother.It says the original poster did it.
If I used my imagination I`d say it`s because the guy wanted to tell us an interesting thing that just turned into a bunch of nay-sayers doubting the authenticity and a bunch of jabber about n.o.s. compared to repro.Anyone can delete their own thread.Not being nasty,but that`s what I`m going to do to this one if it continues off track.I`d at least like Doug to get a chance to see it before it`s trashed.

The fact that you hijack this thread to gripe about something is trolling and an infraction has been issued.

Re: Met A Member Today
 

Please accept my apologies everyone. It won't happen again.

Re: Met A Member Today
 

very nice looking truck. i used to own one that color-plain and simple- and i used the daylights out of it. i was the third owner of it and it was bought new here in town--back when we had a chevy dealership. thanks for sharing the pic, Tim. sure makes me miss the one i had even more.

Re: Met A Member Today
 

That is a nice K20, he isn't too far from me. I may have to head North to see this truck I mean meet Doug lol :D

Re: Met A Member Today
 

Couldnt have said it better myself!! I love the lack of trim, and the white bumpers and caps really set it off.

Re: Met A Member Today
 

Thanks for the photos, I always find plain base model trucks refreshing!

Re: Met A Member Today
 

It`s funny,I got all caught up in finding highly optioned trucks after starting off with a`71 K/20 Custom 307 4spd manual steering 4.57s.I think it had 4 options like gauges,hubs,4spd, and AM.That was a great truck.When I bought athe`72 K/20 Cheyenne SuperCustom Camper with a filled up SPID the guy had a grapefruit Plain Jane K/20 in all original condition.I almost bought it and towed it with the Super.I was there in El Cajon touching it and I decided it didn`t have anything great in options so I left it.I still think about that truck and wish I had gotten it.I think it all comes around to simple again.

Us Maryland (and nearby) guys need to meet up this winter in a garage or something.3,4,10 it doesn`t matter.Nothin`special,just shoot the bull.

67CHIP72,no problems.We`re all human and have our reactions.
