72 K20 Survivor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AASmedic · 06-19-2016, 02:53 PM

I purchased this 72 K20 from a farmer in Colorado. It was used solely on a farm and driven occasionally to the lake. Its a numbers matching survivor that was repainted and had the bed redone before the farmer passed. I purchased it from his son and spent the last 6 months bringing it back to mostly original. It has 88K original miles (verified by the seller) and no rust.

This is what it looked like when I picked it up. Not bad from the outside.

Beautiful truck there my friend! Can't wait to see more.

Thanks.

Good looking rig! Any plans as far as upgrades or are you staying with the stock driveline. Looks like you have a plan for the hvac. Pics of the spid?

AASmedic · 06-19-2016, 05:24 PM

I have more pics to post. I finished it about 2 weeks ago and kept the original drivetrain. I'm a fan of originality. As most of you would probably agree, these projects are a labor of love. I look forward to tweaking on this thing every chance I get.

AASmedic · 06-19-2016, 06:41 PM

As promised more pics.....

New badging and light lenses, tranny and TC rebuilt and painted, axles rebuilt and painted and a 2 inch lift added with new shocks all around and new tires with original wheels and caps.
