Found a 1972 K5 CST
 

Special thanks to Kevin aka undertaker72 for the heads up on a local K5...
It's a medium olive Cheyenne with cold a.c. and tilt..and very solid. The spid (see pic)
Shows L78-15 tires so what size and type wheels came on it. I will post more l I vs later

Congrats on the new truck! Looks like a great ride.

Nice! More pics please...

Re: Found a 1972 K5 CST
 

So .....I assume it had plain white 15x8 wheels since no hubcap option on spid and L78 tires??

15 x 8 were never offered from GM. Your K5 had 15x6 steel wheels. I believe it had painted white caps - chrome caps and wheel covers were options.

Gotcha I just saw the L78-15-8 on the spid and assumed that meant 8's. Thanks

Who put the window crank and door handles on the drivers door? Were they blind or something? :lol:

Need more pics, looks nice though.

In the windsheild post up high. Guess it held moisture under the weatherstrip. I loaded it up
And took it to Charles Calvin in cedar mtn. Nc and he made the pieces and tig welded them in.
He is absolutely THE MAN with making odd panels etc.and when hes done you can't

WOW - I imagine working on cars is boring for him!! That's amazing work!!

Re: Found a 1972 K5 CST
 

I saw him make full quarters for a 50's Studebaker wagon. When I have rust issues I take stuff to him and it gets done and looks great.
