X14 rare option code? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68 50th · 10-05-2004, 03:32 PM

This is from a 1970 C20 Custom in Sweden I looked at last weekend.
It was sold as a new truck in Sweden and maybe there is some other options than the X14 Export Preparation that is rare.
It is a C20 and it have coils in the rear, I belive IÂ´v heard only the C10;s came with coils and C20;s with leafs.

I tried to post a picture of the glove box door sticker in this thread but IÂ´m not sure if it will be attached.

Nah Most C20s i have seen with the exception of GMC had coil springs .

toms68cst · 10-05-2004, 04:40 PM

Touch up paint???

Speedometer equipment? KPH instead of MPH?

Man Can Base Equip??

That's an interesting option sheet.

*Gee_Emm* · 10-05-2004, 06:52 PM

Post a pic of your speedometer, I knew a kilo speedo exsisted but have never seen one.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-05-2004, 07:58 PM

Sweet, sounds very intreging. Got any more pics of this truck?

GM72K10 · 10-05-2004, 08:15 PM

cool option sheet
526 Med Gold is listed as a series 40-90 paint color (for 71)
Q20 16 X 6.00" for tube type tires, available on C20 models with 10.00-16.5 rear tires only (that's what the book says, but somehow doesn't seem to apply here)
Pictures of the truck and speedometer?

68 50th · 10-06-2004, 01:20 AM

This truck is made in Canada and exported to Sweden, there is a label on the door post saying itÂ´s a Canada made truck.

I think most if not all trucks sold by GM here in Sweden were Canadian trucks, maybe the Canadian trucks had metric gauges from start, I donÂ´t know.

The truck is not mine, I have some more pictures but IÂ´m not sure if the kilo speedo is visible on any of them.

The truck is not very nice but I will post some more pictures of it later today when I get home from work.

Thanks
Mats..

**passthebuck** · 10-06-2004, 02:54 AM

Canadian trucks did not come with a kilo speedo - we were not metric until 76 sooo all of our CDN trucks are MPH. I'd love a nice clear pic of your speedometer - I'd like to redo my speedometer in KPH but I'm not sure of the gradients or the range. THANK YOU!

68 50th · 10-06-2004, 03:45 PM

I am really sorry but I donÂ´t have any pics of the kilo speedo and the truck is not mine and it is located about 3,5 hours away.
The truck is for sale but IÂ´m not sure what IÂ´m going to do, the owner is asking SEK 29,000 ($ 4,000) and I think about SEK 20,000 ($ 2,700) could be a fair deal, for the moment he wasnÂ´t willing to reduce the price at all.

I post some other pics of it for now and if I get a chance to take pics of this one again or any other truck with kilo speedo I promise to take some good pics and post them on the board.

Tank you all for replaying

Rear wheel house opening "customized" not too good looking I think.

68 50th · 10-06-2004, 03:57 PM

Another "Custom trick" you can see the extensions of the seat backs. Not too good looking those either.

Pilgrim · 10-06-2004, 08:03 PM

My C20 has coils. Only leaf springs I have seen have been on Ks.

Well I be ..... So far any GMC i had seen was leaf .. I had my eye on a LWB GMC Frame at the local salvage. I had thought about building me a beat around 2WD With leaf Springs But never got it. I can only assume its a washing machine by now

And the Longhorn was also only leaf springs if I'm not mistaken.
