Saw this for sale over on "Bring a Trailer".

Not my truck or know anything about. It is fun to read a bunch of Mercedes and Porsche guys talk about an old Chevy Truck.

Some will need to be educated ;-)

What's a '69 "Deluxe" truck? Never heard of those. Appears to be base model by the emblems, but has all the Custom CST touches except side trim. I'd like to know where they got those 71/72 factory scroll leather seat covers.

BLT gmc · 02-04-2018, 10:25 AM

Can someone explain why there is a door jam vent in a 69?

**Jason Banks** · 02-04-2018, 11:45 AM

It's probably a 1972 cab....It has 1972 doors...Might explain why a 4 Wheel Drive has C20 badges...

It's a nice truck...but I have a hard time looking at trucks that are a hodge podge of pieces like this one...what's up with the metal behind the brake master cylinder. And...what's up with...a bunch of other stuff....

I'm from the hodge podge era,,, I'd gladly own that one !

I imagine that the restoration included a lot of rust repair/replacement. Thus creating a "Franken truck ". It looks very nice though.

You guys just have no appreciation for a truck that was used to tow a Chris Craft boat (well twice a year anyway)

or was it a Bayliner or a 10' jon boat. If I had any money (which I don't) and was looking for a truck (which I am not) I would run hard the other way from this one.

harpo231 · 02-04-2018, 12:30 PM

If it sells for current bid I would own it,,, Put a plow on in winter and surf rod holders for summer ...

All base trim leave 20 series got that emblem in 69/70. There is no such thing as a K/20 emblem.

Truck is nice,sounds like yet another flowery poetic know nothing about what he have classic dealer. What I don't like is the Rhino-Liner, especially on the rocker to cover up the rust. At least for the price range I imagine they are hoping to get. You never know if these guys are lying (per reputation), don't know jack and are trying to sound like they do, or too much attention to embellishing their description than to it's content. They say the transmission and transfer case were installed 25 years ago when they are original to the truck. I guess they took them out and put them back in. Good thing. That'll help the value

They make it sound like the transmission and transfer case were added when they are some of the original truck. It's a private seller acting like a dealer. A flipper no doubt. I imagine it originally plowed snow, got retired and restored 25 years ago

AMEN!! Reverend Tim

Its a nice truck. Its an AC cab with no AC parts under the hood. The alternator is on the wrong side of the motor too.

Hey Tim, what brand hubs are these? The '69 I owned back in the 80's had these. My current '69 has Warn hubs.

**special-K** · 02-05-2018, 09:21 PM

Somebody went over this since '93. That engine is too clean. I wonder how old those tires are. It's a decent job for when it was done. Most reproduction parts we can run out and grab weren't available yet. Considering the time it was done, it is a tasteful job. There was no internet with forums that taught people what part was correct and how they came such as our members have. That was a lot of money considering the extreme high end for a quality restoration on a K/20 back then was about 1/2 what they spent

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-05-2018, 10:17 PM

Again,I agree Tim
