Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Thanks Ryan! Not quite a survivor as it was painted once. It's a CA K5 with almost no rust. Now it's in deep freeze for the time being. Here's a corner shot of the year of manufacture plate for the Blazer. I don't know what wrong with me but there's a 72 K20 in original paint wood hauler for sale near me cheap that I'm trying to resist buying and putting a plow on it. I need help...

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pete it's nice to see you got your trucks up there now! There's a Bill in New Mexico that told me he can finally pull his truck out of the garage and go cruise because yours are gone to make his look bad.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Wow just read the whole13 page book. Awesome resto. I wish I has the time and money to Half of what you have done. I've been playing with mine 14 years and it ain't half as nice. The blazer is sweet too. If that other k20 is cheap you could Make it Your daily driver winter fun rig and plow with it. At least it Would go to A good Home.

It's prob similar to the project you are considering and shows what GM did in 1970. Good luck!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
hi Pete,
I just picked up a rear painted "sport" bumper. it came with the license holder bolted in place. I remembered your K5 was mostly original and I have a question..... what was the factory finish on the license plate holder when the bumper is chrome? I'm guessing argent silver but am probably wrong. thanks for your help. I hope your weather is warming up 'cause Mich. is still in the deep freeze. and HAPPY ST PATTYS DAY!!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Hey Dave!
Great question! I'll check the K5 (in storage) but I have this bumper I removed (with gravel guards!) from an original paint 72 Blazer sitting in a local salvage yard. The plate holder actually has what appears to be white paint on top of an argent silver. The back is all surface rust and yields no clues other than it appears to not have been painted. The rear bumper I used for the K20 was a painted example that had a white plate holder IIRC. My best guess at the moment is white like the inside of the 71-72 bumper mounted front turn signals. I know my Blazer has the original bumper and an OEM plate light so will have to see what's under the license plate. I went with black for the plate holder on my K20 but this is probably not correct... Happy St. Pats!
