I picked up a rare one, 68 K/20 panel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 10-09-2017, 10:45 PM

I bought a 1968 K/20 panel. 33K original miles. X fire department truck. Mostly original paint. Very very clean, only rust is on the lower rear quarters. 307/4 speed. It's going to get a nice polish job, and the correct "Argent silver" bumpers and wheels. More pics to come.....

WOW that thing is nice. What's the interior like?

**Joesjunk** · 10-09-2017, 10:49 PM

Everything is really nice except the drivers seat is messed up. I already bought NOS correct material and will have both seats restored to exact factory look.

**Joesjunk** · 10-09-2017, 10:50 PM

NOS material

**Joesjunk** · 10-09-2017, 10:52 PM

It should polish up pretty good

**dozerbill72** · 10-09-2017, 10:53 PM

I see it doesn't have arm rests. Where they an option in 68?

That's a good question? I would say yes an option on a base model, but this is a Custom. So that confused me a little? Panels may be different from pick up's as far as what's standard?

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-10-2017, 12:46 AM

That's one of the nicest panels I have ever seen Joe. Even better being the oddity K/20 package. Keep us up as you get her whipped back into shape. Trevor

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-10-2017, 02:56 AM

Nice find!

**57NAPCO** · 10-10-2017, 05:58 AM

Son of a gun, that is one fine and rare panel. Is it a keeper Joe?

flashed · 10-10-2017, 07:01 AM

Im in to see more of this one .

CG · 10-10-2017, 08:31 AM

How did you run across this one?

**Joesjunk** · 10-10-2017, 08:42 AM

I haven't decided if I'll keep this one or not. It's so cool because it's so rare/odd.

CG, I found this one on Facebook

**Joesjunk** · 10-10-2017, 08:43 AM

This one will be bone stock, even the correct type of tires

68panelman · 10-10-2017, 09:34 AM

You've done it again Joe, only with my dream panel!!!. Only 68 were made and can't be many left. Couldn't have gone into better hands.
You betcha I'm jealous...

BLT gmc · 10-10-2017, 10:29 AM

Hello Joe, nice panel. Could you give some info on the tires, please. Bruce

I dont do Facebook so Im not up on how it works. I know it used to be just people and now its groups and businesses and I suppose the sky is the limit.

How do you find vehicles for sale on Facebook?

Bruce, the tires are Deestone brand 7.50 x 16. Power kind makes some and so does STA. I likes the look of these, and the price was great. The STA ones I like the most, but they are about twice the money. These were $435.96 total shipped from Simpletire.com

I knew it was a rare one when I found it. Crazy to think only 68 were made. And you're right, there can't be many left, not to mention in this good of condition.

mywifestruck · 10-10-2017, 01:40 PM

That thing is beautiful. Awesome Find

Alex V. · 10-10-2017, 09:22 PM

VERY nice truck. Kudos for preserving it rather than "making it better".

Thanks, I'm big on preservation.

**HO455** · 10-10-2017, 09:46 PM

That is OH so sweet! And I just love the tires your putting on it.

Just today at work someone was telling me he has been trying to buy one of those from his neighbor for years.
