Custom Seats, Wood Wheel, Bedliner, Great Diver! 1971 Chevy K20
Custom Deluxe - 1967 was the initial year that Chevrolet Motor
Division and GM Truck and Bus Division agreed to split platform
production. The former would make all light trucks, with GMCs
essentially becoming rebadged Chevrolets, while GMC would build all
larger trucks, supplying Chevy with rebadged units. As such, while
the all-new 1967 GMC pickups shared the same chassis and sheet
metal as Chevrolet, it was available with a GMC unique engine, the
305 cid V-6. This was in addition to GMC now also using Chevrolet's
sixes and V-8s. GMC's trim lines also paralleled Chevy. From 1967
through 1971, they ranged from the basic Deluxe up to the Custom
and the Super Custom at the top end. Changing for 1972, they then
went from Custom, Super Custom, Sierra, to a new premium Sierra
Grande which matched up with the Cheyenne Super. While GMC also
used the C (two wheel drive) and K (four wheel drive) model
designators, they differed from Chevrolet in that they used four
digit numbers for the weight range. This was partially due to
coordinating with their medium and heavy-duty trucks that were
already using four digit model codes. As such, half-tons were
1500s, three-quarter tons were 2500s, and one-tons were 3500. We
search the US daily for clean, mechanically sound, original
Chevy/GMC trucks and locating them is no easy task. We also have
customers from all over the US that bring us nice examples of GM
vehicles to sell. This K20 is a Texas truck and looks to have been
here most of it's life. The previous owner had the truck repainted,
installed a bedliner and upgraded the seats. While all 3 upgrades
are a little older, the truck still shows very well. In preparation
for a new home, we recently replaced the fender emblems, mirrors,
entire grille, and the famous blue bowtie. The two-tone Ochre &
White paint paired with good chrome trim.
