I had owned a 1970 K-10 about 30 years ago, and regretted ever selling it, drove a number of Suburbans thru the years. I have always watched for 67-72 GM trucks.
Last year I decided to find a clean one, I looked locally, then expanded my search to the south and southwest. I found my truck on Craigslist in Pueblo Co.
It is a 3 owner GMC Sierra Grande 2500, 133" wb, 402, 4speed. The truck was ordered new by a drag racer to pull his race-car, it spent it's whole life in Southern Colo. It was the original owners baby according to the seller.
I was hesitant to buy a truck sight unseen, but the seller was a mechanic who loved these trucks, he gave me an honest assessment of the condition, sent me many pictures. He seemed to be in no hurry to sell the truck, and I figured out later he was feeling me out as well, because he wanted it to go to a good home! I spent a couple of weeks corresponding back and forth, and made an offer that he accepted. My son and I took a road-trip out to get it last Feb.
I have been very happy with it, and have decided to keep the paint original, warts and all. My plans are to find some steel wheels and hubcaps eventually. The wheels and tires on it are new, but not really my style.
