Re: Sideways Saturday
unfortunately I don't know that or much else about it, I bought it that way.. but despite all the surface rust, it turned out to be very solid where it counts, unmolested with no extra holes, runs ok, and the price was right

Re: Sideways Saturday
Very nice original truck! I've always liked the 67-68 lower body and fender trim.

Re: Sideways Saturday
Thanks! Your 69 looks real good, nice and clean! This is the most original truck I’ve owned and it’s my favorite. I bought it from member SactoJim about 7 years ago, flew in and drove it back down here. Converted to 5 lug disc up front, swapped in a posi 5 lug rear from a 72 to match, added HEI, and restored the factory AC. It’s a smooth driver and I use it all the time for hauling stuff to the dump and Home Depot trips.

Re: Sideways Saturday
I reckon around there maybe even 6", I just don't have paperwork for any of it and the seller didn't know.. I recall it was his uncle's previously and his brother also worked on it.. then it sat for a few years so it's a mystery machine LoL
I'd be happy to take any measurements if they would help.. those are 36" 9.00-16LT sta super lug tires on late model 16" gm 9594142 16"x6.5" wheels if that helps for reference.. I do have some 20 year old paperwork that came with the blue K1500 if that helps, it sits about the same as the K20.. it's posted in the 4x4 subforum with pictures and awesome member outfield posted a very informative reply.. there's a few other comments about it there too that may be helpful, shoot maybe even another sub with a better pedigree in there would help.. hope that helps http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...postcount=1460 http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...postcount=1464 http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...postcount=1470

HA!
That was AWESOME! THANK YOU! That stereo has so many different settings and adjustments, I'm afraid it will take me years just to scratch the surface of the dang thing, even with You-Tube's help. Yea, I'm pretty much an old aged computer illiterate idiot. ...I miss 8-tracks. |

Re: Sideways Saturday
Weather was a bit iffy this weekend, so instead of dropping $80 to show @ the NSRA Car Show and get rained on, I stayed local and went a coffee and cars Car Show at the Bass Pro Shop parking lot. I started & promoted the show some 5-6 years ago, but when Cabalas lawyers got involved and a mandatory waiver was implemented, I stepped aside. Glad to see the show is still happening and people enjoying it.

Re: Sideways Saturday
Always thought it strange to pay $80 to take your car to a show where the promoters can charge people $25 to see it!

Re: Sideways Saturday
That is strange, never taken my truck to a car show so I'm probably missing out on some pretty pleasant times.
A couple in a Safeway parking lot once asked me if I take my truck to the local car shows, when I replied that I don't, they asked why. I said this is my daily driver and I show it off just driving it everywhere. I get plenty of complements doing that. ...may have to reconsider though. |

Re: Sideways Saturday
A few years ago I pulled my 55 Chevy car into a slot at a Sonic drive-in and placed an order. Turns out there was a car show in part of the parking lot and in the lot of an adjacent grocery store.
After placing our order, a guy walked up and said something like "That will be $25 to enter the show." Not, "Hi, would you like to enter the show?" or anything like that. When I told him we were there just for lunch, he actually seemed upset and I think he wanted to tell me I couldn't park there! Anyway he just walked off, and we had some good burgers! Turns out the show was mostly late model Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, rice burners, etc. One even had blue LED lights in the engine compartment. Wow! How cool! A few weeks later we went to a much larger show with older cars and NO entry fee (or blue LEDs).

Re: Sideways Saturday
Here are of few from the dirty dozen I own. Both are K20 trucks. The white one is a retired fire department truck K20 with service bed. The blue is a 72 high optioned K20.

Re: Sideways Saturday
I've always said they got it backwards...they charge the guy who has all the time and money invested to enter your vehicle in a show so people can lean on it for photo ops.

That, my fiend, is a rare truck that should definitely be in shows.
