I think my 1972 super is a time capsule/survivor..
Original paint and drivetrain...the seat cover and dash pad has been
Replaced and the alternator is down so I'm going to have it restored
Otherwise we drive it everywhere

I saw your truck at Maggie Valley. Very nice original!

Very nice Napco, she looks great just the way it is, even got the headliner ......

**68bowtie** · 01-16-2023, 12:40 PM

That looks pristine

**special-K** · 01-16-2023, 01:47 PM

Very nice! Yep, first year 307 there, old style oil fill with PCV valve and all. Plus a 4spd! I would love to own that truck!

factorystock · 01-16-2023, 02:15 PM

Color is hard to detect on this one. Interior shots appears to be Light Green. Exterior shot appears to be Terrace Blue or Light Blue. A SPID photo would be nice. A guess it was sold new without a mirror head.

It's been a full year since the last addition. This low mileage base trim K 20 with a painted front bumper is definitely in the time capsule category. Tires seem a little oversize, but spare is the correct factory size 7.50-16, even has the original 2 piece 16" rims.https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-k20-pickup-2/

That's an awesome truck, and I think it looks great with those bigger meats on there.

Here's a few pics of this truck for thread posterity.

SPID of the truck above.

The poles on the front bumper were a clue but the SPID confirms - this truck was used to plow snow. Rare to find one that did plow duty that also didn't get rotted to heck from salt.

$40K - man, inflation is hitting everywhere LOL...

My experience with ex-snow plows is that the front ends are usually beat to death if they saw any regular service.

My grandfather ordered almost an identical 1970 K20 as the one above with a couple of option differences:

His had the 350, lockout hubs, 10-16.5 wheel option, and tach cluster. It was still around until about 2015, then I lost track of it.

Dang. That sounds killer.

**1970cstblazer** · 01-13-2024, 11:54 AM

I still have the Protecto-plate and the Q-Jet from it. It was a Canadian built truck. Unfortunately, the last I saw of it, the frame had serious rot in the back, and all of the body was junk except for the hood and upper cowl piece, but it was still being driven! It would have needed everything metal.

I find less than 5000 miles hard to swallow on any 1968 truck. 104,971.2 I might believe.
Some of these kids don't know the odometer stops at 99,999.9 and then rolls over, showing 00,001.1.
Could be 204,971.0 or 304,971.0, who knows?

**Palf70Step** · 09-27-2025, 10:42 PM

and it's just not kids that are unfamiliar.
