69 K20 Fire Truck

[landarts]

Picked up the 1969 K20 long bed step side truck with service bed out of Washington. The truck was retired from the Quincy Washington Fire Department in 1998 so the story goes. Everything on this truck is original except for the altered factory bumper on the front and added diamond plate bumper in the rear. The truck at some point was painted white over the fire department red color shows underneath.

The truck is very straight as the body and grill goes. No rust to repair and only a few very small dings here and there on the body. Has a 350 V8 with 4 speed transmission with Dualmatic locking hubs on front. Mileage on truck says 11744 not sure or saying that is original or not. Will need to do the forensics on this to determine. One thing that points toward that direction is the wear and tear on the pedal pads. Another in the other direction is that the seat cover is not original. One way or the other it does not matter to me.

Cant wait to get started this truck needs to be driven and not sitting in a field for another twenty years. Might need to sell a few of the other K20's and K10's I have in storage to get this one to the front of the line. Lots of research to be done on this one. Love to know the backstory.
