Re: 67 K10 swb stepside production numbers?

Mike
Very interesting link. There is quite a discrepancy in the listings. The vin K is of course 4wd versus C being 2 WD but the second letter E is V8 and C is a 6 cylinder. So in that listing all the 67 models are listed as 6 cylinder models and the 68 is listing mostly V8 only. And it goes the same for the 69 and 70's there. Do you suppose they are not broke down between 6 and 8 cylinder models or could it be that it should read 67 and 68 models both 6 and 8?
This truck I have is a factory built short frame never been cut down and the VIN and the truck installation is absolutely a factory V8 installation.
I know they are super rare in the shortbox and even more rare in a V8 short that year. I couldn't believe I would ever in my life find this truck. The original engine was replaced with later 307 but the rest of the drive train is bone stock original right down to the old spicer locking hubs and the 3 speed column shifter. In my frame up going on now, I am upgrading to a 205 /turbo 350 automatic behind a numbers matching 67 pickup 327. I also plan to go with a 72 disk brake front axle assembly. Thanks so much for the info. I have to believe that the 1000 units would be believeable anyway.
