Just bought my 2nd K20!!

[1968_K20_4x4]

Hey everyone!

I want to share with you my recent acquisition, a 1972 K20!! This is now my 2nd truck, as a few years ago I bought a 1968 K20. I didnt NEED another truck, but this came up for sale 20 min from my house at a price that was too good to pass up!! I am more familiar with the 67-68 style trucks, so I am looking forward to learning all about the 71- 72 style and will surely have a lot of questions for the board!

It was a 350 truck but now has an OMC 225- apparently its a marine sbc 307. Doesn't run great at the moment. My plans for this truck are to keep it mostly as it is and use it as a driver for now. I have been working on perfecting my 68, but for now I just want to get this 72 on the road and drive it as is and enjoy it. It is mostly complete minus the front tow hooks (Bummer!) and in fairly good shape, as it was fixed up about 15 years ago. However they didn't do a full restoration on it and there are definitely a few things that need attention, and Ill work on it as I go. My long term goal for this truck is to restore it to factory original, but also stay true to what it is, just a good ole work truck!!

Also, Ive even come up with a name for the ole girl- Smokin' Ochre!

Check it out and let me know what you think!!
