71 K20 help with what version

[landarts]

I am considering a purchase of a K20 truck. The truck is mostly stock and original except for the front clip. I have a picture of the SPID and vin plate all matches that it is a K20. It does say model KE20934 which means (4x4 V8 3/4ton 54-59 cab to axle and fleetside. Since there is nothing on the fenders for badging and the front clip has been replaced how is the best way to figure what it actually is. Body is plain Jane with no trim or pinstriping, no chrome trim anywhere like windows or vents. Interior is "Black Vinyl trim" RP code 600.

Here is the pict of the SPID

It's a Custom (base) trim level. Fender emblems would be the standalone "Custom/20" and the 8|350 callout under the marker light.

Thanks Jocko I hoped you might chime in. That really helps, again thanks for the help on this.

I love it! Options wise that looks like a pretty nice no bs truck. All the nice Hd and work related options with a little comfort in that full foam seat! I’d say that one was probably ordered precisely the way the original owner wanted. Any more pictures? Good luck acquiring it. You won’t be sorry! I love my K20.

A Work Horse, I like what I see ! I have been looking for a longtime for a K20 with a 4-speed in good condition. I just got a rust free for $10.5k in Northern CA

Good luck & I hope it works out for you

I am curious about the Idaho dollars for K20’s

This is the fourth one I bought in the last two years. Three of them were from Idaho and one from Wyoming. The least expensive one that I bought was $1100 and the most that I have paid is $3500. All of the trucks but one were project trucks and one was a driver. These do not come up for sale here often here so I look all over the Pacific Northwest through various sorces. Hope I answered your question.

The deal was made and now I have to wait three weeks to go pick it up. Yesterday Idaho was ordered to a 21 day "Stay at Home" order by the governor. So in the mean time I will work on planning and ordering parts that I might need for the current project the "69 K10 from the field". I have put a challenge to myself to get the 69 K10 cab completed by the end of the 21 day Stay at Home, which puts me at April 15th. I have all parts, materials and paint so I thought this would be a good way to stay productive while being confined to the home. I plan on making a positive experience out of all this doom and gloom.

This K20 truck is a running and driving truck that I will use for now and do some changes on it while it is being driven. Almost everything mechanical on this truck has been worked on or replaced so it really just needs the look freshened up. Over time while I am driving it I will get the body ready for paint and freshen up the interior. I will also be changing out the tires and rims for some tall skinny 285's on white steel wheels.

Here is a few picts.
