20 year project
Thought I'd finally post some pic.'s
I got this truck at a city auction for $400 back in 1988. It had 15,000 original miles on it at the time. It's a 69 C/20 w/ 350 4-speed & 4:56gears. I originally planned to restore it but I have used it for play & hunting ever since. I had changed the bed, added a 4'' Rancho lift and 35'' Ground Hawgs w/ 12'' rims. Now I am finally going to restore it! Mechanicaly everything is now rebuilt or new. I have since added a 3'' body lift and new 40'' Ground Hawgs. I just finished swapping a disk brake front end into it. I'll post a current pic. soon. Rob |

Re: 20 year project
Nice truck. Was that a C20 originally, or a K20? (4X4)

Re: 20 year project
if it is a factory 4x4 not converted to a 4x4 it is a k series. c series is 2 wheel drive, K is 4x4

Re: 20 year project
C/20 is the model indicated by the badge in 69/70.Kinda confusing.I guess you could say it`s a K model C/20.Like the opposite:Calling a 1/2t Cheyenne a C/10.

Re: 20 year project
Nice cop spot. Usually they're lower down on the A pillar. The template in the Unity instructions indicates a point about 4" up from the cowl line. The higher position would give you a better vantage point.

Re: 20 year project
I've seen many other 4x4's w/ the C/20 emblem, I've never seen a K/20emblem on a 67-72 4x4.
I have seen the K5/Blazer emblem. It is confusing, especially for the kid behind the counter at the local parts store when I'm ordering parts!!! Rob |

Re: 20 year project
This is true, but I have seen "K/10" fender badges on a 4x4 Suburban. They were obviously homemade, however, on a closer inspection.
