I bought this truck this morning. I know these are getting pretty hard to find so when he told me what he wanted for it I jumped on it. Overall pretty decent for an Iowa truck. It was rebuilt years ago but it is starting to show it's age. I probably won't pick it up for a couple of days but it isn't too far from me.

Cool!!!
It's a jig saw puzzle, and you don't even need the box lid..........

**1970cstblazer** · 03-20-2024, 01:58 PM

1971 k20?

**truckster** · 03-20-2024, 01:59 PM

Nice. The pieces look pretty straight.

LOL, might have to scour the ground in that area with one of those magnets like roofers use, to make sure you got all the bolts...

57taskforce · 03-20-2024, 03:02 PM

Nice score, there’s still a bunch of great parts there.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 03-20-2024, 03:33 PM

'71 K/20 Shortbed? Tires look OK.
Dog house is all over the place.
V8 of some nature.
Fuel tank on the Passenger Side, aft of the cab -- Squarebody frame?

**70cst** · 03-20-2024, 03:46 PM

Agreed ... for an Iowa truck it looks solid. Nice score.

57taskforce · 03-20-2024, 04:06 PM

Looks like standard 67-72 K20 stuff to me, that don’t look like a short bed. I don’t think that’s a gas tank on the passenger side behind the cab, looks like a box or something on the ground. Wonder what’s up with the plate welded across the frame where the rear shock mounts are? Looks like 2-4” springs up front too.
I wonder if it had front hooks originally, I do agree it looks like 71 door panels and mirror placement, pretty sure all 72 K frames had the holes for the hooks but the earlier years only had holes if they were ordered.

One front fender needs a little work but everything else is pretty decent.

I have enough nuts, bolts and other stuff to put a couple of them together.

Yes there is, but I am going to try to save it.

Long bed, 350/TH350. The black plastic box under it is a small floating dock for a watercraft or something like that.

Plate was for a gooseneck trailer ball I think. It has lift springs in front and blocks in the rear. Those will probably go bye, bye. Not sure yet.

I just got back from paying him and getting the title & bill of sale.

I was hoping you’d say you were trying to save it. The 4x4s are getting harder to find in buildable shape these days.

I agree. It would have to be in really bad shape for me to consider parting it out.

Cool truck

**72 tigger** · 03-20-2024, 09:48 PM

Looking forward to seeing it come together-
Nice score!

**truckster** · 03-20-2024, 10:31 PM

I'm glad to see another one saved. Well done.

**Steeveedee** · 03-20-2024, 10:34 PM

I truly envy you guys with enough land to put some trucks on. I missed out on a really nice step side Eric (Chevyland) was selling, when I realized that I had no place to park it.

**jerry moss** · 03-20-2024, 10:43 PM

looks like a solid truck, you have a good start on a nice project. congrats.

jumpsoffrock · 03-21-2024, 12:34 AM

I'm sure this has been beaten to death around here, but....th350 in a 3/4 ton? Is that normal?

I find it funny people post threads like this on this site, acting like...someday, we're gonna be upset about it and tell you not to do it again.

Save a truck, share with us, love it. Rinse and repeat.

And that was/is a shame. The TH350 was barely capable in a half ton, let alone a three quarter ton.

**too much stuff** · 03-21-2024, 09:10 AM

Way to go! Nice save.
