67 K-20 on Ebay

I`d love to have a truck just like that.I`m not sure why a Rockwell transmission needed totally rebuilt in a truck with 29,600 "babied" miles on it.Does your local FD baby their brush trucks on a call?Mine hauls ass down the road and beats it across land to get to a fire before it spreads. How did he spend $25,000 on a low-mile garage kept truck with constant upkeep?Musta paid out some decent shop time.I`m just knocking the seller`s comments.The truck should sell itself w/o exaggeration.Too bad he put the wrong mirrors on a stock restoration.To me that`s a big no-no.I`m looking at doors that need filled and matched up to paint.

I am guessing that the rockwells were probably turds even when new. I have never seen one that wasn't caked with grease that had leaked out, and when the oil gets low the input bearings go boom. I know they are all 40 years old or older, but having the input so much higher above the fill line of the case is a bad idea regardless of age.
