4x4 guys looky what I found!
Was browsing a local junkyard looking for some stuff for the wife's passat. I come to a lot that has a 70 Chevelle ss a mid 60's cougar and a bunch of muscle from that time period, however at the front of the lot there's a few 64-66 Chevy trucks and... 3 71-72s. 1 short fleet, 1 short step, and this...
'71 350/sm 465/205 custom deluxe k/20. Mostly all original on a 10-15 year old paint job, NO RUST ANY WHERE! Some pretty big dents on the passenger side bedside. Mostly complete, except for the seat, the marker lights and a few other odds and ends. I climbed around it a bit and it appears to have all the original cab corners, rockers etc. My heart starts to patter a bit so I decide to ask what they want for it.... Here the kicker.... 6,000! It's been sitting long enough that the tires are flat and the wheels have sunk into the mud a bit. I'm sure it's been there a minimum of 5 years probably longer. Needless to say quite a bit more than I'm willing to pay. Its sad because It's got a lot of potential.

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
That's what I said... As I walked out I said "good luck selling it", and the guy said "oh it won't be a problem" and I said "ya I bet"
There were a few obscenities floating around in my head cuz id love to bring this one home and do a "Deadheadnm style" resto on it and bring it back to its original oe glory... As for location... Not telling don't want it to disappear haha. I'm thinking about giving it a few months and offering 3,000 to see what happens. I drive past chokecherry pretty frequently. I wanted to take my lifted wj down there before I took the lift off but never made it. My 3100 will see it eventually.

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
Translate that into "Oh, it won't be a problem letting it sit another 10 years"
Not all K/20s were bought to run hard and put away wet. Many were the pride and joy of the owner, just like many of these trucks in other configurations. You don't buy a Cheyenne Super to beat on it. Many were only used for get-away vehicles, such as camper hauler, travel trailer, boat, Jeep, or race car tow rigs. I've had quite a few, most high optioned, that were low mile exceptional condition. same with many C/20s, but K/20s are fewer

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
Gettin' there. Probably wants more now that they brought the value down with it requiring a nice used grille to go with the rest of the unrestored survivor truck's value.

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
How many times have you all seen this situation. I'm old enough now I've seen dozens of great old iron ready for the shredder when father time (vandals, weather, thieves, fire, accidents, animals, family, etc.) is finished having his way.........

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
It was kinda rough, yellow with black stripes no interior. It may have been an ss clone for all I know. (Trucks are my primary knowledge) there wasn't any major rust on it that I could see tho.

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
A quick way to tell if it is an SS Chevelle the dash gauges are round, unless they were swapped. Most clones aren't.
Cool find. Ron

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
Any goodies on it like a no spin or AC? I would think you couldn't go wrong for 4k or less unless the driveline is missing or shot. I'd give 5k all day long as well if it were closer to me. Prices for good bodies are lower where you are since you're not in the rust belt. K20's that aren't beat to crap or fully restored are hard to find. They were bought to be worked hard.

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
[ I noticed a few things that make me wonder if it's a highlander. It had green interior with deluxe door panels and what appered to be pretty worn oe green carpet. It also had chrome vent windows, windshield and rear glass trim. The seat is missing tho.[/QUOTE]
No Highlanders in 71. If it was a Highlander the carpet should be black not green and the door panels would be parchment. Looks like driver's door, fender, rocker were a respray so make sure and take your magnets with you. |

What WOULD you pay? Take that much cash and go down there and see if they can turn you down.

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
The trucks in the best condition are usually C/20 custom campers. Used primarily for recreation, the beds are like new and the body is not rusted or dented due to being stored in a garage or under a car port and cared for.

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
^^^ Yep, and there were Custom Camper k/20s...just not as many. I've had Custom Camper/30s without a rattle or a squeak. Can't say that about an old work truck

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
I came across one last week in perfect condition. Luckily someone else bought it and saved me from myself If it had been a K/20, I would have driven it home that night.

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
I'm pretty sure it's safe for the time being, I gotta round up some green and see what I can do. What I really need is one of them ultra rare money trees planted in the front yard...In all honesty I'm gonna do what I can to get it. Like I said I envision a Pete style resto on this baby!

Re: 4x4 guys looky what I found!
I'd offer $1000 & that's it. If it's missing stuff, sitting at a wreckers it'll need drivetrain work for sure. For $3-6gs & being in New Mexico you should be able to one way better in AZ, NV or other neighbouring states. You can get this K5 cheaper & way cooler lol http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/4864798220.html
http://showlow.craigslist.org/cto/4868617949.html Not bad http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/4846225577.html Even better http://flagstaff.craigslist.org/cto/4815398498.html Nice looks like a decent deal See there's still a bunch of 4x4s around way better deals than a wrecker asking $6gs
