i just wanted to share these pictures with you guys. i was on my way home from a north Ga. trip and i happened up on this neat panel.it's a 68 k-20 panel/ambulance that is still in service it was wrecked last year in a snow storm it has a v-8 4spd/rockwell. the on duty ems guy said there was no plan on selling it anytime soon and that several people stop by weekly and ask about it

If I have to go to the hospital, Take me in that.

CrashEd · 02-05-2007, 12:58 AM

GREASEMONKEY72 · 02-05-2007, 01:30 AM

**special-K** · 02-05-2007, 07:19 AM

I`d be tempted to hi-jack that thing if they picked me up in it.

Sonny · 02-05-2007, 08:54 AM

Now that would be a fun project to take on!

That thing's pretty rare. Production was something like in the double digits, IIRC. I'd restore that BONE STOCK.

toms68cst · 02-05-2007, 05:46 PM

It was about 4 years ago when we last had a 4X4 panel show up here.

I'm guessing less than 50 of those were made. That one looks to be in very nice shape.

1969k10stepside · 02-05-2007, 05:56 PM

IIRC,around 250 4x4 panels were made in the 67-72 era.If you find one grab it,I would choose one over a original gen 1 2wd blazer any day

PanelDeland · 02-05-2007, 06:15 PM

There was one for sale at Charlotte in the fall.4X4 4speed and 250 6 cyl.The paint was blue and was still off gassing.(You could smell it because it was so new)They had a price of $7,500.00 on it.Looked good inside but was just a panel not an Ambulance.I wish I had of had the $$$.

Longhorn Man · 02-05-2007, 08:38 PM

there were 59 build... that is a rare bird there.

Down south truckin · 02-05-2007, 09:54 PM

I know I've never seen one but i did'nt know it was that rare! the neat part is that they still use this one,it actually had a gurney sp? in the back

BustedTruck · 02-05-2007, 10:31 PM

Where exactly was this one located? I will have to keep an eye on it.

**special-K** · 02-06-2007, 08:16 AM

I`d insist we stop by the body shop to get that eye injury looked at before we got to the emergency room to deal with my injuries.

**jerry moss** · 02-06-2007, 10:48 AM

i posted on here a few years back about a 68 panel, 1/2 ton 4x4 that was in a wrecking yard here in the bay area. Bill at vintage chevy truck in fremont ended up buying it so it wouldn't get crushed. rare indeed.
