I'm extremely skeptical but will follow and look for examples. Strange these would be placed on some but not all 69-70 K5s (all of which were assembled at a single plant), seemingly disappear for 71, then reappear in 72 at Flint.
The 1970 example on eBay (link
HERE) is far from original. Note the replaced screws affixing the hatch to tailgate seal on the tail gate.
The purportedly low-mile 1969 on BAT (link
HERE) has had many, many items replaced that seem oddly out of place for such a low-mile truck and these items include door sill plates, engine items, carpet, side marker lamps, reverse lenses, front seat backs, at least the front seat upholstery. This truck was juiced up for the sale I suspect. Not that it is a bad truck, I like it. BTW, the seller is a used car dealer with 43 BAT car sales alone.
What did square body K5's have for carpet trim plates? Were these similar to those in question on this thread?
