Re: original (not modified) truck pics
Since I is a redneck😁😁 I will retain the current 33x10.50s but put very
Mild 2" Alcan springs front and back...absolutely the best ride on these K trucks |

Re: original (not modified) truck pics
that's gonna look great! I thought the current wheels/tires might be a stretch with no lift, but 2" will be very nice. Would really like to see some pics when you're done.

Re: original (not modified) truck pics
If I remember correctly, the original owner waxed everything including the door and tailgate jamb areas. It’s a fine truck

Re: original (not modified) truck pics
Restored to nearly original. Very few mods, and where there are mods the parts are "GM", such as Witek band clamps instead of towers for water hoses, Delco 10Si alternator and Delco HEI. And it was dropped 4/2.5. I don't care for the logo on the floor mats, so I've ordered some w/o them.
That and the truck was standard ochre/white w/o side moldings, now deluxe.

Re: original (not modified) truck pics
The bones are all original - undercarriage 100% OE minus normal maintenance items and added dual exhaust on Dynaflow mufflers. Glass and sheet metal OE, with zero rust. OE interior paint, door panels, headliner and wiring.
New: one respray with OE color in 2010, new front bumper (OE had holes for fog lights), carpet, houndstooth seat cover, instrument bezel, tachometer and comfort tilt column. Engine rebuilt in 2015 with OE carb - Hooker headers added (by now 81 year old previous female owner). This is not a frame off restoration, but a mildly refreshed pickup that spent 50 years garaged in North Carolina. It was never used as a "truck" but a secondary driver. Now with 72K miles on the body/frame.

Re: original (not modified) truck pics
Bumping up this old thread just to admire Joesjunk's incredible taste in trucks!
My Orange 69 C/20 from earlier in the thread went to Colorado 3 years ago and after a brief 3 year fling with an 81 GMC 2500 Sierra I'm back in the 67-72 camp with this 70 C/20 with 74K miles and a 402 from Oregon.
