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:

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.

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

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)

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

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

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

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.
