Just arrived: 1972 K20!
After a long search for a 67-72 K20 LWB I finally found one. Just arrived off the transporter from Wisconsin about 15 minutes ago.
The truck was purchased brand new by the Burnett fire department as a brush truck and I purchased it from them. They added a warn winch on the front and some sort of heavy duty bumpers in the front and rear. Tailgate is missing and there are a few holes in the bed floor and dash board from their equipment. There is also some rust where the cab floor meets the rocker but it's got only 12,648 original miles, original paint and the original brakes! I am sure I will have a million questions over the next few days.....took me almost 5 minutes to figure out how to turn on the wipers in the pitch black - these things didn't come with interior lights??? :-) -Greg |

Unbelievable!
More pics please!!! You could create a "How To" book for the rest of us poor saps with photos as it must look about the same as when it rolled off the assembly line. |

See... there are some holes in the dash from their equipment and the truck beeps like a school bus in reverse - guess they forgot to remove their back up siren -Greg |

Hard to argue with that, it's like a time capsule!
