68panelman Thanks for the comment. I'm not real sure as to what I'm going to do with it yet. I may fix the brakes and clean the gas tank as this is all I can see that it needs to be able to drive. I have thought about putting it up for sale on Ebay just not 100% sure yet

68panelman · 11-27-2013, 10:36 AM

Your getting me worried here!!!, Any updates to report?

Bigdav160 · 11-27-2013, 02:13 PM

Give us first shot!

Fishbone · 11-27-2013, 10:40 PM

Sorry for the delays guys ! My dad passed away unexpected on the 14th and I've had a lot going on for the past week or so.

I do have a fresh battery in it now with a new fuel pump and it runs great! I need to flush the gas tank out and get started on the brakes.

68panelman · 11-28-2013, 10:27 AM

Sorry for your loss.

da-burb · 11-30-2013, 01:14 AM

Sorry to hear about your dad.

**special-K** · 11-30-2013, 09:27 AM

Boy,life is sure full of good and bad. Sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Had to be a tough Thanksgiving.Time heals,but that has yet to come.

Fishbone · 12-01-2013, 10:38 PM

Thanks for the kind words. My dad will surely be missed. I didn't get to fix the brakes today but I did get the oil changed today.

Hopefully next weekend I can get the brakes started. I might be able to start this week it just depends.

**Joesjunk** · 12-21-2013, 02:12 AM

Very cool panel!

**57NAPCO** · 01-09-2014, 11:36 PM

Did ya sell it? Or are ya gonna keep it...

**57NAPCO** · 01-09-2014, 11:37 PM

Double post

Fishbone · 01-10-2014, 07:56 AM

Haven't sold it yet. I've been sick with the crud and have had to work a lot of overtime at work lately, not to mention the cold wet weather. I plan on fixing the brakes real soon and then make my mind up.

In the town I grew up in there was a 2 wheel drive panel painted the same way blue with a white top. I was too young to remember if it was 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton.

In the Next few days I will post up some more detailed pictures. If there are any specific pics anyone would like to see just let me know.

I also tried the PTO and Winch today and it works as it should!

This is so awesome! Can´t belive you found this! If you ever want to let it go, I want first dips! I´d love to have that in my collection!

Guys, just keep in mind if this turns into a for sale thread it will be closed and edited and that would be a shame because it is a great thread.

Thanks,

Man that is a solid looking rig!
Luckily you can get all the bright trim on the outside new from Mar-K now.

RustySunShine · 01-24-2014, 01:36 AM

That is a killer find!

K20chevy · 01-24-2014, 08:25 AM

Just awesome!!!

68panelman · 01-24-2014, 09:57 AM

I'm so freakin jealous!!!

K20chevy · 08-03-2015, 03:17 AM

Just wanted to let everyone know that I did buy the 68 K20 Panel from member Fishbone. Once I find the time to tear into it, I will start a build thread. But it will be a complete frame off resto and keeping it original. The only changes will be power steering and power brakes. Other than that, it´ll be back to the day when it was put into service.

I did manage to get pictures from the fire depatment while it was in service. I will post these in the build thread as well.

RANDY COX · 08-03-2015, 06:18 AM

Can't wait for this one to start. That thing is a beast..will be watching....
