1972 K20 Custom Deluxe "Bruce"

[Graham57a]

Just as most of my truck stories start out, "We bought this truck to fix up and flip for a profit, now my wife and I are getting attached and likely wont be selling it for a while."

Here is the back story: My buddy Ken (52Napco) put me on to this truck back in January. I think he bought the truck out of Oregon and had it shipped to SC, after it got to the east coast it exchanged hands a few different times and the guy who had the truck was ready to sell. I drove down to SC one evening after work and checked the truck out in person. We struck a deal and I drove it home.

When cleaning the truck out I found a business card for a tree cutting service in Sacramento, CA which would make sense since it has a Fremont indication on the SPID. So my best guess is it was born and raised in Northern CA, at some point made it to Oregon and then obviously to to the east coast. I also know that the truck had an over the cab camper shell for most of its life which would explain the bed rail "patina". At some point the truck was repainted, the seat cover was replaced, and someone put a tach dash and an am/fm radio in the truck (all not factory to the truck).

My plan is to return the truck to a factory appearance while making some slight modifications / upgrades along the way.
