I'm I the only one with a before that was nicer than the after? I bought my '72 K2500 twenty years ago. Been driving it ever since. Even worked it for my business. It's been used for all the things a truck was made for. I've kept it up mechanically, changed interior, suspension, wheels/tires. I have a lot of parts waiting for when I ever restore it.

The second day I owned it

Thanks for the props. I'll let the truck know. I've had a list of K/20s and only this one K2500, which seems to be my keeper. I had two '72 K/20s when I bought it and it was going to be the leisure vehicle for hauling a camper, bikes, boats etc. That never happened. Signed up for leisure then put to work!

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 07-21-2021, 06:53 AM

K, thanks for sharing some history with us, good to see it making a living.

**pjmoreland** · 07-21-2021, 07:28 PM

It's coming up on one year since I bought my truck. I've really enjoyed working on it. I'm kind of bummed that I'm getting close to being done. I might have to find another project truck.

**pjmoreland** · 07-21-2021, 07:31 PM

A few more...

**Steeveedee** · 07-21-2021, 08:43 PM

I wish I had room to put another vehicle. I'd take that thing off your hands so that you could build another! Come on, Lottery!

I'd buy another house on property and have enough room...and your truck. Please, sir, could you put AC in it, first?

**70cst** · 07-21-2021, 11:30 PM

Lots of good looking truck folks

I wish my truck had AC. Maybe eventually...

Great Blazer! I looked at your thread and unfortunately it looks like many of the photos disappeared.

How did get the front so low?

I've got springs and drop spindles on mine and I'm constantly hitting the bump stops hard. (Portland decided to do away with policemen and put speed bumps on every block instead.)

**TxGary** · 10-22-2023, 05:14 PM

Bought this truck in 1997. Just part of the family and still not finished.

Coming up to the 9th Anniversary, November 1st, 2014, since I bought my Highlander.

Never have figured out how to post more than 5 pics on here so...

I’ve bought this truck in 1989 for $1800. It’s been through 2 Sons and ME

very nice truck.

**CAMAROBOY68SS** · 10-17-2023, 11:51 PM

My 68 has had quite the transformation, but all of it done at home with help from my grandfather. Currently its next update is a motor/tranny swap. Going to a 327 and a TKX 5 speed from the current 350 and Muncie 4 speed.

j_cst_10 · 10-19-2023, 09:52 AM

Awesome truck Greg. I am partial though since I own the same truck in Ochre.
