Thinking of Buying a 67 K20

[Bigdog454]

Hey Guys,

I'm new to this site and older Chevy Trucks, but I am a long time Chevy owner and have 5 Chevys now (2 - 68 Chevelles, 2 - 94 9C1 Caprices and a 95 9C1 Caprice).

I am thinking of buying a 1967 K20 Chevy. According to the original sales brochure that the owner has, the K20s came with 4.55 rear and 4.57 front ring and pinion and the K10s came with 3.73 gears. The owner claims the gears are 3.73. The axles all have 8 lugs.

Is there a way to tell that the truck was definitely a 3/4 ton by the VIN? It is CE247J130219.

I also had difficulty figuring out how to put the truck into 4WD. I had an old Blazer that had 5 positions to the transfer case for 2WD hi and lo, neutral and 4WD hi and lo. The 1967 K20 has four positions. According to the original sales brochure, 2WD hi is all the way forward, then one position back is 4WD hi, then neutral, then all the way towards the seat is 4WD lo. However on the truck, this pattern is backwards and it does not seem that 4WD lo exists as it seems to be 4WD hi.

Any comments or input is appreciated.

Thanks,
