The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

The 3/4 ton 4wds were the top of the food chain IMO and have been the constant mainstay of my 67-72 interest. High option/low option,just the model configuration screams no BS truck. A highly optioned one sits right next to a big block shortbed in my book*. Don't forget the Suburbans,either. Talk about a wagon on steroids! Show 'em if ya got 'em,had 'em,or saw one.

I'll kick it off with a few notmyuns:

Green one shows how a longbed looks right!

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

I have to agree. I love seeing pretty trucks,but love even more to see one you can use. I think it's very handsome as is.

You've seen my K25 before. I'm so close to finishing it...shooting for mid-Feb. Here it is just back from the paint shop...

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

That's one fine truck in the making. Can't wait to see it done...like you.

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Here is mine. When I bought it from the original owner it looked like this.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...-first-pic.jpg

This is how it looks now except that I have had the mirror arms powder coated argent silver and I painted the rear bumper argent silver. I also took out the green shag carpet and layed down a couple of coats of Lizard Skin and then put in the factory rubber mat. This isnt a beauty queen, its a truck used as a truck. (course I wouldnt mind having a new paint job someday lol)

Pics sent to me from PO. Haven't taken any myself.

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

How about a couple of "bigger boys"?
I am sure you will approve...

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

This is for the big boys

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Mines a swb CST but I put the 3/4 ton running gear under it

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Did they ever make K/20's or K2500's with the big block? Or was is only the 2wd's?

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Here's my 72 k20 with a GMC body, not much to look at but damn i love her!

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

No factory big blocks in any 4X4's in the 67-72 models years. But plenty of people have made the switch themselves

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Subscribed, more pictures please

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

NooB here. Her she is! Not the best pick but thats all I have currently.

Here is the Garden Truck. Sometimes I wish I still had it. :waah: WES

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

The garden truck was sure a beauty. I remember drooling over it lol

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

This was my oldest boys truck... WES

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Heck yea! I frikkin LOVE the K20's!
Here is my 68 K20 Suburban.

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Wes,

What year Chevy are those wheels on the silver truck from ?

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Thank you CG. I know your taste in trucks and that is a huge compliment.
Those were new "Take Offs" from a 2005 Silverado HD. GM used them for a long time though. I know that some of the 2008s still had them. WES

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Love your Burban! Do you have more photo's to share?

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Here's my first one. This was in '79. Even though it was only seven years old, it still had so much more soul than my buddies newer trucks.
The red one was shot in 2003. It's in a complete restoration right now. It's not red anymore. Hopefully it will get out of paint prison early this spring.

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Here is my '69. I have filled this thing with logs (big ones), ran through deep snow and the only thing that stops it is my lead foot blowing out the head gasket.

CG- I love those smaller type 'west coast' style mirrors. Does anyone know where i can get some?

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Nice thread, with a lot of nice 8 lug 4x4ers! Mine will be the ugly one of the bunch I guess. :lol:

Here's mine. I need some recent pics.

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

What I like about the mirrors are the chevrons. When I was a kid I always thought they were cool, guess it stuck with me in my old age lol. They aren't the best for seeing out of. They were old and cracked so I had new mirrors cut for them. Watch the parts board they come up once in a while

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

My burb came with the west coast mirrors, and it spent most of it's life with them. I just remember my Dad always cussing at them, since they would move all the time and didn't have much field of view.

As soon as I got the burb, they were the first to go.

One I sold a couple years ago.

Do you have a build thread? That burb is awsome.:metal:

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Keep them coming, helps keep me focused on what I want mine too become!

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

heres my 70 with a big block :metal:

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

WOW! Too many trucks since this morning to comment on all of them. Big and bigger is cool. Superchevy's was the first tonner. Mine will be once I get under it. I like them from brute to beaut (pronounced like Butte as in Montana :lol:). 8-luggers rock!...and sand,snow,mud,as well as hiway.

Talk about trucks we wish we still had:

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Thanks!
I did the majority of the restoration before digital camera's and personal computers, so the best I have to share is a few shots I took with a insta-matic 110 that I have scanned :lol:
I've put them in my profile album if you want to see them.

My restoration project has taken so long, that I bet it's one of the longest on here! I think I started in 1994, and I am still working on it... :lol:

These burbs take a lot of time and money to restore, both of which have been very slim during my quest to get my baby looking good again.

My family calls the burb my therapist, which is a pretty true statement for me.

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Love the 8 lug 4x4's. I think they might be my favorite configuration of our trucks. I go back and forth on a 2wd short bed hot rod, or a k20 4x4 as my favorite. I'd love to have one of each!

Re: The Big Boys:Let's See Those K/20s & K2500s
 

Ha ha,yeah,I hear ya. Check out my sig. I hoe to be rolling two and only two someday some. It doesn't get any better. Wait...yes it does. You can always get more. I had all that,had to sell off,and now a short/hot 2wd and an big/bad 8-lug 4wd will do me fine.
