Couldn't stay away for long...1970 K20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well guys,

I sold my last C10. A short/fleet seen and I've been missing having an old truck ever since. Well, work sent me to Fairbanks, Alaska for 6 months-1 year. Threw up a wanted AD for a 67-72 and I got a hit on this one. Went to check her out yesterday. Handed over the $1,200 bucks and couldn't be happier. Never expected finding a truck like this in this shape all the way up here. Drove her home about 30 miles with no problems except for the moose 10 feet from the highway that definitely upped the pucker factor. It is a 4 speed, 4x4 truck with all the factory gauges! Runs and drives strong even in 0 degree's. The truck is very solid due to lack of salt. Only rust is in the rockers and cab supports. Doors,bed,roof,fenders,floors are solid. Unfortunately someone cut the radio hole out

The SPID is gone from the glove box too. Plans are to return her to stock condition and drive her.

I grew up in AK, and the lack of rust makes me think it has not been up there long. Or not driven much in the winter. Salt. Very nice!
