Harvest special K20 ?

I called about a 72K20 today and the man tells me that it is a rare Harvest special.

I said "it's a what ?"

He said it's a harvest special that was built for farmers,, it has a PTO on the side of the trans that the farmer could run a shaft out the back and bale hay or whatever else might need a PTO. Also, he told me that the front axle was heavy duty for the harvest special truck. From what he was saying it sounds like someone has swapped in a newer single wheel ton front axle. He described the lockouts as being the same size as the center bore of the wheel. When he replaced the front axle wheel bearings he had to get bigger bearings than what was listed for a 72 K20.

I told him that I would have to check into that and that I'd get back to him.
On the cool side it has a fresh 427 in it !!!!

So !! I'm pretty positive that I already know the correct answer but wanted to ask the members here that have more knowledge than I do if this was an actual option or if he has a pieced together truck with a story from the PO !

Take care !
Tom
