4150 Original Mile K-20 - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 10-13-2009, 06:31 PM

You can`t trust that mileage.It`s got to be at least 5,175.

gmcbrian · 10-13-2009, 06:58 PM

The down side to the mileage is I don't want to drive it, because I just watch it go up. It was 150 miles away when I bought it- so I towed it to keep from accumulating.
I will get some chassis and engine bay shots for those interested.

*ksjh1316* · 10-13-2009, 07:42 PM

Better you found this than me I would drive the wheels off of this thing everywhere. Nice truck have fun with it

**Joesjunk** · 10-13-2009, 08:20 PM

That is soo cool. Glad to hear your going to preserve it!!!

tcb-1 · 10-13-2009, 08:29 PM

I'm droooooling ova here!!

toms68cst · 10-13-2009, 08:53 PM

You are very lucky to have found that truck. That's one of the nicest untouched 68's I've seen on here. I'm glad you are going to preserve it too.

We are all very envious!

Unscrew the speddo cable from the back of the cluster. I would drive the snot out of that thing, Would like to see more pictures as well

ChevLoRay · 10-13-2009, 09:27 PM

Was looking at trucks on Webshots....you put 'em there or did someone else?

gmcbrian · 10-13-2009, 10:53 PM

Yes that is the photo host I use and have a bunch of albums there.

jrdv · 10-13-2009, 10:54 PM

Great purchase!
I believe that is the cleanest, lowest mileage truck I have seen!
You really need to take pictures of all the stickers, rubber hoses, routing of wiring and hoses, factory blemishes, etc. in order to document the originality for other forum members wanting to restore their trucks. I think this would make a great Sticky thread.

How many times has someone wondered if something done to their truck was original? Yours would make a great truck to compare to, especially if you see something that doesn't seem right.

Have fun with the truck. I know I would have a hard time putting very many miles on it!

Great idea

unclewatts · 10-13-2009, 11:01 PM

If I hadn't seen the pictures and heard the story, I wouldn't have believed it. Amazing. Please, more pictures!(Engine compartment, undercarrage.)

UltraBlue71 · 10-13-2009, 11:07 PM

Wow what a piece of history! Congrats on a rare find indeed!

Seraph · 10-13-2009, 11:09 PM

Gosh that is incredible....

I'm on a volunteer fire department and would kill to have my own personal fire truck lol! Lucky!

**NGN** · 10-13-2009, 11:14 PM

those are the very mirror brackets i've been looking for !!!! are they stainless steal ? that is a great chevy you got there . maybe part the mirrors...lol. sorry for cutting in but , if someone may have a real nice set like those wanting to sell i,d be interrested . have fun with that nice truck . thanks

jeffspower · 10-13-2009, 11:15 PM

WOW! That truck is incredible!

Think about this... if it had the oil changed once a year, it's had one done about every 100 miles- I don't think you have to worry about sludge

My '72 was bought by my X's dad from his rural dept. around 1976, with about 6000 miles on it. Wish I could find some pics from back then.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-13-2009, 11:15 PM

Musuem piece or not, I'd drive it

Then again, if I bought it, I'd scrap the bed and put a shorty on it

Great find!

67CHIP72 · 10-13-2009, 11:31 PM

Must not have had too many fires over the years in that neck of the woods. Beautiful.

OregonC20 · 10-13-2009, 11:52 PM

Below the left front fender light marker, what is that??

kyfig70c20 · 10-13-2009, 11:55 PM

How did you find it? How was it sold? My guess is sealed bid? I am kind of surprised that didn't hit these forums before you bought it since every 67-72 advertised on CL ends up here.

gmcbrian · 10-14-2009, 12:03 AM

Below the left front fender is an emblem just like the right side here-

gmcbrian · 10-14-2009, 12:06 AM

Dash throttle was a dealer add on-

From this photo, it looks like there just is not too much gas in the tank. Boy did you make a mistake. Better luck next time.

sweet70beast · 10-14-2009, 02:00 AM

Maybe it's the original gas too.

prairewolf · 10-14-2009, 07:38 AM

.. Great find,

that one might be Barret Jackson worthy?

just thinking.
