My new K20
 

Finally, I have found a 1970 K20 that is worth the investment. I bought it from my new boss actually. Any of you that follow my activity on here will know who that is.

I am super excited to have it and have many plans for it moving forward. The first will be to undo some of the things that the PO's have done in the past like the add on washers for the wipers, the trailer brake controller and a few other things. I want to get some wider stock style wheels and some bigger more aggressive tires. Not to fat but a tall skinny tire with aggressive tread.

I have always wanted a nice K20 but being from Michigan, they are rare to find in good condition as many were used as plow rigs. I had to sell my 72 Cheyenne to get this and I will miss that nice old truck but time to move on with something new.

I will try and post up some photos as improvements happen. Very busy with gauge cluster builds now as well.

Take care,
Tom

Wow Tom that's a fantastic truck. Glad it has a good home. Welcome to the club!!

Re: My new K20
 

That means a lot coming from you Pete and I will enjoy the club and sure I will pick your brain on a few things. Your K20 build really got my juices flowing to get a K20. I have always wanted one but you had some inspiration for me.

Funny thing it is a very basic truck and I can name every item on the SPID by memory.

gauges, amp, oil, temp
350 cubic inch engine
4speed trans
Heavy duty springs
526 medium gold

Take care,
Tom

Re: My new K20
 

My favorite color with what I believe to be a 70 only interior color. Excellent!
I'm jealouse. Enjoy that awesome ride.

Re: My new K20
 

Sweet ride! Congrats!

Re: My new K20
 

Great looking truck. Good luck with it!

Re: My new K20
 

Welcome to the world of K/20s and K2500s! I love it. I noticed you are now in Oregon, but don't follow your activity and don't know who your boss is. I live the Medium Gold Poly and it has been a strong consideration for my '72 when I do the body (never say till the day you order paint). Of the dozen or more K/20s I've owned I have had the most basic to full-tilt bells & whistle Cheyenne Super Custom Campers... rare to common, and I've loved them all. Your boss had that one in righteous condition and all but original, yet. Good on him and good on you for seeing it as a great truck as it sits.

Re: My new K20
 

Super nice truck.
Put some black headlight bezels on your list of things to do.
(it's a pet peeve of mine on the 69-70 trucks)

Re: My new K20
 

Congrats. That thing is nice! Is that one of those add on door step thing on the pass side?

Re: My new K20
 

Wow, that is a beautiful truck right there! Really happy for you and what a score. :two: How did you pry it out of the bosses hands?

Re: My new K20
 

That's a good looking truck Tom.

Re: My new K20
 

Thank you gentlemen. Yes that is one of those step add on's on the passenger side, soon to be removed.

I am looking forward to doing some work on it.
Take care and have a good holiday to all of you,

Tom
