I bought a 1968 K/20 panel. 33K original miles. X fire department truck. Mostly original paint. Very very clean, only rust is on the lower rear quarters. 307/4 speed. It's going to get a nice polish job, and the correct "Argent silver" bumpers and wheels. More pics to come.....

Everything is really nice except the drivers seat is messed up. I already bought NOS correct material and will have both seats restored to exact factory look.

It should polish up pretty good

I see it doesn't have arm rests. Where they an option in 68?

That's a good question? I would say yes an option on a base model, but this is a Custom. So that confused me a little? Panels may be different from pick up's as far as what's standard?

That's one of the nicest panels I have ever seen Joe. Even better being the oddity K/20 package. Keep us up as you get her whipped back into shape. Trevor

Son of a gun, that is one fine and rare panel. Is it a keeper Joe?

How did you run across this one?

Re: I picked up a rare one, 68 K/20 panel
 
I haven't decided if I'll keep this one or not. It's so cool because it's so rare/odd.

CG, I found this one on Facebook

This one will be bone stock, even the correct type of tires

You've done it again Joe, only with my dream panel!!!. Only 68 were made and can't be many left. Couldn't have gone into better hands.
You betcha I'm jealous...

I dont do Facebook so Im not up on how it works. I know it used to be just people and now its groups and businesses and I suppose the sky is the limit.

How do you find vehicles for sale on Facebook?

Bruce, the tires are Deestone brand 7.50 x 16. Power kind makes some and so does STA. I likes the look of these, and the price was great. The STA ones I like the most, but they are about twice the money. These were $435.96 total shipped from Simpletire.com

There are lots and lots of groups on Facebook, this was for sale on one of the 67-72 groups I'm in.

I knew it was a rare one when I found it. Crazy to think only 68 were made. And you're right, there can't be many left, not to mention in this good of condition.

VERY nice truck. Kudos for preserving it rather than "making it better".

That is OH so sweet! And I just love the tires your putting on it. :metal::metal::metal::metal:
Just today at work someone was telling me he has been trying to buy one of those from his neighbor for years.
