Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Cali, that is a great truck. Any chance it was a highlander in a former life??
Fishbone - cool panel, love it.
Thanks for keeping this thread alive gents.

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

I believe they say ultra wheel co on them. I'm actually trying to get rid of those wheels and tires. have some slots I am going to put on it.

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Here is my 72 with 83,000 miles. And yes I use it for snowplowing. She's not scared to work

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

jocko, not that I know of, I traded for the truck and it was missing the SPID when I got it, my plan is to make it a knock-off Highlander, Thanks!

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Got it, that is just about perfect as is, throw in some avocado plaid and I'm gonna fall out of my chair.

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)

K20 in the snow:

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

beautiful truck!! what's the paint code for that? is it the red orange or hugger orange? I'm planning on going orange/white on mine! should look about the same

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

That has to be photoshopped! nobody has a truck that nice and lives in a place that picturesque.

Hope life is going well in the big sky country, Pete!

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Thanks!! It's the original code 581 red orange (AKA hugger orange) the truck came with. Here's one more pic.

Ryan - loving it! Dodging moose on the ski slopes up here at Whitefish. Come on up!

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Wouldn't say that, found this picture years ago. While not exactly to my taste its a great looking truck! Besides it keeps Jocko up at night wanting roof marker lights... :-)
If anyone knows the owner or specs I'd like to hear.

great. I'm going to paint "Rusty" that color. I like the blue it is now but the huger orange is just beautiful in my eyes

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Guys, Actually there is a code problem here.
581 is the factory code for yellow (Dk. Yellow) applied as a Special Two-Tone (white roof/yellow body/white rockers)

For the orange to look like Pete's truck you would want one of the factory codes below.

524 is the factory code for hugger orange (SPID Red Orange/ Sales Fireball Orange) applied as a solid. The Ditzler number is 2212

553 is the 524 as a Conventional Two-Tone (white roof/orange body). Ditzler 2185 white and 2212 hugger orange.

596 is the 524 as a Special Two-Tone (white roof/orange body/white rockers). Ditzler 2185 white and 2212 hugger orange.
For a 71-72 that would be factory on a Suburban only unless special paint.

458 is the 524 as a Deluxe Two-Tone (white roof/orange body/white side/orange rocker). Ditzler 2185 white and 2212 hugger orange. Pete's Truck!

For those that live in truly cold places there is the code 565. It is the 524 as a Custom Two-Tone (black roof/orange body). Ditzler 9000 black and 2212 hugger orange.

Finally remember there were two factory oranges (67-72), the other 516 is a true orange often seen on highway equipment and it will be simply "orange" as a SPID description. But it was available in the various Two-Tone patterns as well.

thank you for clearing this up

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Doh! Looks like I was one digit off in reading my SPID for the color. Thanks Tim. Yellow isn't bad either :) SPID below:

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Thank goodness you don't have to repaint Pete!

Sorry, there are no more available, so don't bother looking any more. All gone. No mas..... ;)

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Please help me say no. Here's a local K20 350 4spd with a cool grain bed setup (barely shown). Rocker panel and floor pan rust, a little bondo on the RH door. Owner is 91 yo WWII vet. Motor not original but has all the right small parts including exhaust manifolds. Uncut dash. $1500. Don't have additional pics at the moment. After seeing the K10 Joesjunk recently hauled home nothing looks good to me anymore.

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

That's the thought - I can drive this thing whenever and maybe add a plow if need be. I'll send along your thanks. He set foot on Okinawa and recalls life during the depression. We talked more about non-truck stuff than the truck for sure. I'd have more pics but the truck conversation quickly took a "back seat".

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Exactly.Just dont make it too nice.;)

And i totally understand.
I really enjoy talking to older gentleman such as him.

I spent alot of time with both my grandfathers,who both were in WW2 so i always get along good with those heroes.


Wish my generation was more like them.
