a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
Some of you may remember last september when i got suspended from work and made more workin on my own fixin up a friend's truck...
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=304953 (it hasn't moved since september) http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4884.jpg Well... he went out a few days ago and picked up another one... but much MUCH cooler. Check this sucker out! 1972 K/20 350/4 speed original split rims Vintage winch tall by narrow mud tires This sucker was imported to the midwest from Oregon a few years ago (not sure when) But when Jim got the title, it was like an index card, and it was from the original owner... signed over in 1986! No tellin how many times it's chainged hands since then... but who cares. I told him to get photo copys of the original title and to try to get the Ohio BMV to let him keep it.. for historical reasons. No clue how that went. Anyways.... PICS!!! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4874.jpg Look at the bumper... and the winch! This thing is cool! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4875.jpg I gave him these plates for X-mas for the skunk... but this one will actually get driven, so I agree they need to get installed on this one. It's WAY more worthey anyways. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4876.jpg Missing some trim... wrong hub caps... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4877.jpg Fugly bumper contest winner here! Sure hope he hasn't tried to lower the gate yet... it'll KILL the rear plate if he does. I already have the tail light trim... guess I'm keeping an eye open for a single letter for the gate now... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4878.jpg There was talk of woodgrain for the inst panel... I plan on talking him out of it. I think he already ordered a seat kit... I always wanted to try recovering a seat... can't be too hard, right? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4880.jpg Check out the vintage winch control! It's cable controled http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4879.jpg Look at that bed floor.... a skuff and paint and it would be perfect... not that this will ever see newpaint. He likes the "slightly weathered look". http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4881.jpg |
Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
Bone stock 350 with seemingly nothing messed with. I think I even see some original hose clamps in there! (not on the gay pink heater hose... on the upper rad hose)
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4882.jpg I'm not quite sure why it has an isolator... it doesn't have daul batteries... unless the winch installer placed another battery someplace OTHER than under the hood. I'll have to run down the wires when it ISN'T so friggen cold out there. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4883.jpg No SPID pic or anything else for now... like I said, it was freezing out there yesterday when I took these. Here's a quick look around his driveway at some of the other cool stuff... he has lots and lots of cool stuff... There's talk about putting the skunk's body on this frame... 427 tall deck/TH400 no clue what X-fer case or suspention... I know it's a mean sucker though. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4885.jpg This was his semi-daily driver till the last windstorm claimed the windshield. Not sure what it was that went through the glass... but I do know he already has a gasket and glass and some other things for it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../a100_4886.jpg He already got a parts truck for the skunk and yellow truck. Not sure what all it has on it, nor what he'll be grabbing from it. I had planned on getting out there to look at it today, but my dad had some surgery on his knee and I was needed here. Maybe I'll get out there on sunday and look at the parts truck and possibly get more pics. Anyways... short photo thread.... sweet old truck. |

The P.O. of that truck was a serious bumper guy :lol:

Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
did that beer can on the bumper leak on the ground?
never mind |
Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
That sure is a nice find.I bet the auxilary battery was mounted in the bed.It hauled some sort of camper or had a shell,right?
I have an "O" and a an upper bed moulding he can have,if we can get the long piece to you somehow. |
Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
Very nice!!! Wish my K20 looked like that.
|
Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
Those are two good looking c-20s he has there. I would be proud to have either one of them.

Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
:agree: Longhorn Man... Now that is one sweet truck. :metal:

Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
Very nice trucks indeed. I love the black and white one! In case your curious, we restore the seats in our vehicles(mainly because of a bad experience with an upholsterer) and it is not hard at all. Advice is to have a heat gun(or blow dryer) and another person. Take your time and they will come out excellently.

As for the trim.... I'll see if we can locate that long piece locally... I have a couple leads, but I'll keep this in mind. And from both me and Jim (the owner) thanks Tim. Quote:

Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
Wow, Great looking survivor!! You know I like them that way!! Got a pic of the option sheet?

Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
That is a nice original looking 4x4. Your friend has some neat stuff.
|
Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
Nice truck! Wish I could run across one like it! ...Joe
|
Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
nope... like I said, it was too cold out there to be messing around too long.
I'm going back out there this week sometime and it is supposed to warm up. I'll probably take it for a spin and get more/better photos. |
Re: a friend's new k/20... sweet rig!
WOW...nice collection. I particularly like the Farmall's in a line and that old Billy-Goat tiller mower! Those Warn winches were originally built in Seattle. I see lots of them around here...but that is a very old classic.
