The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 01-20-2011, 07:45 AM

The 3/4 ton 4wds were the top of the food chain IMO and have been the constant mainstay of my 67-72 interest. High option/low option,just the model configuration screams no BS truck. A highly optioned one sits right next to a big block shortbed in my book*. Don't forget the Suburbans,either. Talk about a wagon on steroids! Show 'em if ya got 'em,had 'em,or saw one.

I'll kick it off with a few notmyuns:

*I like 'em all.

Green one shows how a longbed looks right!

**special-K** · 01-20-2011, 09:08 AM

I have to agree. I love seeing pretty trucks,but love even more to see one you can use. I think it's very handsome as is.

My K2500 at home:

Along the Shenendoah:

You've seen my K25 before. I'm so close to finishing it...shooting for mid-Feb. Here it is just back from the paint shop...

**special-K** · 01-20-2011, 10:23 AM

That's one fine truck in the making. Can't wait to see it done...like you.

CG · 01-20-2011, 10:34 AM

Here is mine. When I bought it from the original owner it looked like this.

This is how it looks now except that I have had the mirror arms powder coated argent silver and I painted the rear bumper argent silver. I also took out the green shag carpet and layed down a couple of coats of Lizard Skin and then put in the factory rubber mat. This isnt a beauty queen, its a truck used as a truck. (course I wouldnt mind having a new paint job someday lol)

fattyarbuckle · 01-20-2011, 10:57 AM

^^^absolutely love the look of that truck! ^^^ Nice

**special-K** · 01-20-2011, 10:58 AM

You have my favorite 67-72 EVER. I'd get rid of my ride in a heartbeat to have one like yours. I'd pay a lot extra, too

haysonj · 01-20-2011, 12:22 PM

Mines a swb CST but I put the 3/4 ton running gear under it

m6z · 01-20-2011, 12:51 PM

Did they ever make K/20's or K2500's with the big block? Or was is only the 2wd's?

Cdshinne · 01-20-2011, 12:52 PM

Here's my 72 k20 with a GMC body, not much to look at but damn i love her!

CG · 01-20-2011, 01:05 PM

No factory big blocks in any 4X4's in the 67-72 models years. But plenty of people have made the switch themselves

The garden truck was sure a beauty. I remember drooling over it lol

Thank you CG. I know your taste in trucks and that is a huge compliment.

Those were new "Take Offs" from a 2005 Silverado HD. GM used them for a long time though. I know that some of the 2008s still had them. WES
