I just picked it up in Mississippi last week and drove it back to Denver. Looked at several over the last six months before finding this one which is pretty well restored with just a few minor things to clean up. Also picked up a set of bucket seats and console out of a 71 on my way back through Kansas but the bench seat in this one is like new so not sure I'll be changing it out any time soon.

Dpowell, That is a beautiful truck you have! Love the two tone. I also found one that was very nice and could not have built anything close to it for anywhere near the price. It made sense to jump all over this 72 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper 4x4 K20 and glad I pulled the trigger on it. A1SUPER

Nice score, and you know it's a good driver.
There's a lot of these trucks in the area. I always see a few at Golden Cruise, you should bring yours up.

Not sure how old you are but....
At my age I love the fact that I bought one mostly done. Anything that it could possibly need can be done in a day or weekend. I love to tinker with it and am so glad I don't have to wait the 3-5 years to enjoy it. I have done restorations and enjoyed the process. Still way more fun to drive! The side pictured is the worst side of the truck.
