Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Here's my '68 K10 I brought back from Colorado the last weekend of June. Near as I can tell it's the original 250, SM465, and T221 setup. The frame matches the VIN as well. It still has the closed knuckle D44 and I believe the rear axle is a 12 bolt but I haven't got that far yet. I've rebuilt the carb, gapped the plugs (some had no gap), and corrected timing and it runs pretty good, though smokes a bit. It came with some odd bucket seat and I'm searching for a 67-68 bench seat to fix that issue. The cab needs some attention in the usual locations. The fenders are crinkled pretty good and the grille will need to be replaced as it got bent too. I was told it was an old farm truck and it shows, but the bed is from a newer model and in good condition for its age. The hubs are an interesting situation. The driver side has a full time cap and the passenger has a Warn hub. I wish I could find another one and get rid of the cap. All in all, I'm excited for this project. I've been looking for a K for a long time.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Haven't been on this site for a while. Here's my 69 original paint K10 that I put 3/4 ton axles under. Hopefully LS swapping it next year.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Heck yea! That’s a great looking ‘68. Other than the bed and the seat it looks to be pretty original. What are your plans for it? Welcome to the 67-72 K club!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
The plan is to get it back to original look and feel as much as I possibly can. I'd like to keep the closed knuckle but understand parts are getting harder to come by, especially the hubs. Based on what I can see (no SPID) the paint is the 506 Medium Blue Poly and I'd like to keep it that way too.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Couldn't be better
What a '70s time capsule. I had a '72 blazer with the chrome smoothies and other accessories. Dual auxiliary tanks was one of the upfits. Looks good here and looks great now!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Here's my 69 K20 project that was bumped to the wayside when this 70 K20 retired fire department brush truck fell in my lap. 15,045 original miles. Couldn't pass it up.
