Finally bought a truck and thought I would post
So back in 2009 I started looking for a 67-72 truck and signed up here to do some research. I was looking for a K20 and did drive out to look at a couple of trucks over the last 4 years, I looked at a lot online but never got around to making a purchase mostly because the majority of the ones I was most interested in I never made the drive to look at.
A couple of months ago I started looking again and found some online that looked good and even talked to a couple of sellers but hadn't actually headed to look at any, yet again. Well about a month ago my wife asks me if I saw the truck for sale in our neighbors yard. So I go out and find that he was selling a truck he had just bought to resell. So long story short we went back and forth on the price for a couple of days and I ended up buying it. I have already started fixing a bunch of the stuff it needs done, mostly just small stuff as the PO did a good job on the rebuild but once he got it to a reliable DD state he never finished a bunch of small jobs. I have already removed the 35's in the pics and restored some steelies with 33's and I have a new 2" springs and shocks on order to get it down to the height I want. Some specs on the truck, D60's front and rear, power brakes and steering, a GM 350 crate engine, SM465 and factory AC.

Re: Finally bought a truck and thought I would post
Quote:
The 68 salesman's order guide shows that Pickups required Z62 or Z84 and/or A50 for the 551 paint and the parchment/gold interior without model distinction. Fleetsides also required B89 molding too. Wonder how many C30 50th stepsides were built? Or C30 50th Longhorns? However things are a little different on the Suburbans, Panels and Vans. It shows that the the 551 paint with a fawn interior was available on the Suburban and Chevy-Van only (thus excluding the Panels). The 551 with parchment/gold interior was offered with the Deluxe Sportvan only (thus excluding Panels, Suburbans and Chevy-vans).

Re: Finally bought a truck and thought I would post
Beautiful truck!
I had an 86 C/20 with that same paint scheme.
