72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

Sat around a farm for last 3 decades. Story is reverse went out and they never fixed it. Overall a good thing since the roads in MN are salted in the winter. Don't get me wrong, it certainly needs alot of work and a little rust repair on supports. PO sprayed black on surface rust years ago. Engine is locked, someone robbed some parts but its incredibly original with minimal rust for this part of the country. Box has been used for work though and interior was gutted. Still has Delco shocks and alternator. 350/350. Badges, spicer hubs have no pitting whatsoever. I think it will be a good candidate for a no frills stock restoration, what do you think?

Oh, and the truck sports the best colors... lol.

On a side note Dagley Chevrolet is/was real close to me. It was one of the dealers that went under during the whole GM bail out thing.

We need whole pics too!

What a tease.

And too bad it's blue... ;)

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

looking forward to a nice stock resto!

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

Looks nice. Is this the '72 from two weeks ago? Is this getting the refinished wagon wheels? Is this the Custom seat cover you were inquiring about? Where are the pictures? :-)

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

Definitely! I know we'll be helping each other out more in the future also.

Same truck but not sure about the wagon wheels. I already have them so will probably mount these GFG AT's on them and see what I think. Ultimately I'd like the wider stock 16" rims to fit the blue bowtie hubcaps I have. I picked up a set of 16.5 slots from Jeremy Z today that I will use until i find a stock set.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

I will need to get pics in the daylight but here are a few.

Could that mirror be any uglier?
Always been more drawn to the older well trimmed CST's but I am realizing this restoration will be cheaper/easier without having to buy all that trim and repair that equipment so thats nice. Also parts will be easy to find for this one, especially with the 350/350. Now I just need to gather parts and decide when to restore it.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

My K20 had same style mirrors. Those are gone now. Looks like it still has the 16.5's. Nice Spicer hubs too. Good luck with the build. Think you'll keep the Eaton?

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

Nice would love to find one of these!

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

Very good find!

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

Jud those mirrors are a code df2 camper style mirror. That code is on my 76 big ten with the same mirror that is chrome.

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

Lol its like my truck, minus the sitting for 31 years and plus there was a salt spreader in it. Shes been a salting/plowing truck since she was new in 1972! Just about every piece of metel has been replaced on my truck except the shifters and axles hahaha! Been through 5 bumpers too!

Re: 72 K20 been parked for 31 years!!
 

Hey "75gmc454" what did big ten mean? Know they were shortbeds and in the mid 70's. I was looking at an old photo and my dad had a 1975?? shortbed with the big ten decals on the bed sides. I dont even remember this truck he had.
