Low mile, original paint 72 K-20
Picked this one up this morning. Now you guys in the dry climates know what rust really is! Can't verify the mileage on it but was told it was a plow truck most of its life. A quick look shows it could be 50,xxx actual miles on it. I drove it down the road which is hard to do on snow and ice with the front brakes dragging. Still has the split rims even! Factory aux tank is MIA...
Enjoy the pics...

Just a little surface rust. Not sure if brave is the right word. I almost walked away after i first saw it. Quote:
The engine runs ok considering the gas smells bad. Probably will run good with fresh gas. Will probably part out in the spring.

Re: Low mile, original paint 72 K-20
The body is still 80% rust free. That's a lot of options on a Custom. Nothin' fancy.

Re: Low mile, original paint 72 K-20
The E81 Floor Board means the truck box had a wooden floor when built. Am I missing something as I can't see the box floor and I don't see a mention that the box floor is steel instead of wood.

Too bad they aren't worth anything. Its little things like that that make me think it may be a lower mile truck as the owner mentioned.

Re: Low mile, original paint 72 K-20
One of the best color configurations on a K20 in my opinion. Such a shame its so rusty. Was this the one by duluth on craigslist?

Re: Low mile, original paint 72 K-20
I'd say closer to 90% of the body is still there and 10% that remains has rust. It's a great find for sure. It's a great truck with only one issue...rust! Sucks to see. Reminds of the rusted away classics where they'll claim, "good glass". I laugh and think, "that one's too rusty"

Re: Low mile, original paint 72 K-20
I used to go on the theory that once the bottom of a panel rusted out, that was it. It wouldn't rust any more because it could drain and couldn't hold the crud.. I tested that theory on a '71 K/20 plow truck. Bad theory. My research results proved that and I now have a new theory. Water runs downhill. We all know that, right? Well, when salt is added to water it will run uphill, sideways, any way it wants to, and stay there for dinner! That's my new theory
