Hey Jbailey, sorry for the side track. I wish you all the luck on your quest. They are out there, just not so easy now.

Came across the listing in Hemmings and next thing I knew I was buying a plane ticket! In my life I had seen few of these , at least well optioned, and had to have it! I was never too crazy about a white truck either, but... I love my truck! I never saw any high option K/20s or K2500s back East before the internet. Regions had different truck markets back then. My neighbor buddy's dad was a big masonry contractor, he did most of the public schools. His dads's '67 K/20 (in '67) was my first love... medium green, black wheels, black interior, and base trim. It was lettered "A. Myron Cowell Masonry" with bricks and a trowel on the door and he had the rings of the split rims and lugs painted silver.
* In fact, I ended up with the K2500 out of the rest because every time I listed it for sale, due to hard times, people who came to look would want me to sell them the '72 K/20 Highlander because it was lifted and the blue & white 2-tone. I really wanted to keep that because it was the rarest one I had ever owned...or saw. It's not like I hated the GMC, but I wouldn't sell the Chevy. Then my good friend pulled some cash out and made a very fair offer on the Highlander. He got it. I feel good because he is my friend, he is a wizard mechanic, and avid collector. Before he tore into the restoration he would let me drive off in it for a few days. I can't wait tiill the rstoration is done so I can take it to some shows!
