Met A Member Today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 01-10-2009, 11:38 PM

I met member cooldudecoco today.He came out to my place this morning in one of his trucks and I must say,"I like his style".I just love having another truck sitting in my driveway.It`s been awhile since I`ve had another K/20 here and I just had to take pictures.Oh,about that guy driving the truck.It was a pleasure meeting Doug and I`m sure we`ll meet again,soon.I have to go down and snoop around at his stuff now.

Gotta love this truck.Reminds me of one you`d see in a brochure:

67CHIP72 · 01-10-2009, 11:43 PM

Don't see that many 71 grills with the black paint still looking nice. Is it original?

big_al_71 · 01-10-2009, 11:44 PM

It is cool to meet other members...

**special-K** · 01-11-2009, 12:16 AM

Yeah,couldn`t get him to leave it there.DAGNABBIT!!!! He restored it and did the detail painting.He wants to put the utility buckets in it.It is bone stock.The motor looked as good as outside.

**GOPAPA** · 01-11-2009, 12:33 AM

**LEEVON** · 01-11-2009, 12:57 AM

Wow, 13 NOS tailgates thread has been cleaned by Big Brother. How about an explanation next time Guys and Gals(Moderators). That's just silly.

I just noticed, good eye.

**breeh** · 01-11-2009, 01:23 AM

Something to be said about simplicity. Great looking K20!

Seems we are owed an explanation when our posts are eliminated at the very least, don't you think?

**special-K** · 01-11-2009, 08:03 AM

It wasn`t Big Brother.It says the original poster did it.
If I used my imagination I`d say it`s because the guy wanted to tell us an interesting thing that just turned into a bunch of nay-sayers doubting the authenticity and a bunch of jabber about n.o.s. compared to repro.Anyone can delete their own thread.Not being nasty,but that`s what I`m going to do to this one if it continues off track.I`d at least like Doug to get a chance to see it before it`s trashed.

krue · 01-11-2009, 08:23 AM

The fact that you hijack this thread to gripe about something is trolling and an infraction has been issued.

67CHIP72 · 01-11-2009, 11:56 AM

Please accept my apologies everyone. It won't happen again.

**jerry moss** · 01-11-2009, 12:30 PM

very nice looking truck. i used to own one that color-plain and simple- and i used the daylights out of it. i was the third owner of it and it was bought new here in town--back when we had a chevy dealership. thanks for sharing the pic, Tim. sure makes me miss the one i had even more.

**72 Super** · 01-11-2009, 12:35 PM

That is a nice K20, he isn't too far from me. I may have to head North to see this truck I mean meet Doug lol

Couldnt have said it better myself!! I love the lack of trim, and the white bumpers and caps really set it off.

factorystock · 01-11-2009, 01:18 PM

Thanks for the photos, I always find plain base model trucks refreshing!

**special-K** · 01-11-2009, 01:21 PM

It`s funny,I got all caught up in finding highly optioned trucks after starting off with a`71 K/20 Custom 307 4spd manual steering 4.57s.I think it had 4 options like gauges,hubs,4spd, and AM.That was a great truck.When I bought athe`72 K/20 Cheyenne SuperCustom Camper with a filled up SPID the guy had a grapefruit Plain Jane K/20 in all original condition.I almost bought it and towed it with the Super.I was there in El Cajon touching it and I decided it didn`t have anything great in options so I left it.I still think about that truck and wish I had gotten it.I think it all comes around to simple again.

Us Maryland (and nearby) guys need to meet up this winter in a garage or something.3,4,10 it doesn`t matter.Nothin`special,just shoot the bull.

67CHIP72,no problems.We`re all human and have our reactions.

Looks real nice. What type of black paint did you use on the grill? Flat, Satin, what brand? Thanks.
