Polished original paint on my K20

Decided to see if I could get any shine out of this old paint today. Unfortunately I didn't take any before pics.

Nice! Do you know the story on the truck? I grew up not that far away from Conrad, MT...cool to see a truck from that part of the country!

Nice truck!! I like the original paint. You dont see factory black trucks very often.

I agree, keep the original finish,good ole leaded paint tough as nails.Wheels are late model, probably had 2 piece wheels when new.

Re: Polished original paint on my K20

I just started this thread on 71-72 Factory Black 4x4's

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=397834

I know its a K20 but still a rare color combo. Nice original truck and you sure don't see many in any color.

Re: Polished original paint on my K20

That truck was ordered nicely.I like the upper trim.That`s the first`71 I`ve seen with the auxilary tank option.They must have started late`71.It did originally have split rims.
