1968 Chevrolet K20 4wd Survivor: Original 327 ,runs Nice, Original Paint, Solid! on 2040-cars

1968 K20 CHEVY 3/4 TON  4X4.

This truck is in original condition and is a great candidate for restoration. It has the original engine and paint. Most of the truck is original. The body is very solid on this truck, but has some of the rust normally associated with '67-72 gm trucks. It is better than most though. I bought this truck from the grandaughter of the original owner. Here are all the details. Many more pics in the listing and I can email even more. I would like to put a link in here for them, but ebay doesn't allow it anymore. There is also a video of it running in my link.

MECHANICAL

The chevy has the original 240 horsepower 4-barrel 327 V8. It runs great and doesn't smoke at all. Has good oil pressure and runs cool. It has good tires with about 50% tread. This has manual steering and brakes. Brakes work good. Parking brake works. Original radio. Everything on the interior appears original. Original broadcast sheet/build sheet is still in the glovebox. Jack and handle are behind the seat and appear original. No a/c. Four speed manual works as it should. Throw-out bearing has a little noise but not bad. It's completely driveable. No major leaks but has the usual seepage. I was told the engine could have low miles on a rebuild. I have no paperwork though. It does run very strong and starts right up. It has a performer RPM intake. It sounds like it may have an RV cam. Exhaust sounds good. Has good power and is probably closer to 300hp now. The truck needs no major mechanical work. I'm sure a tune-up/fluid change wouldn't hurt but it doesn't really need it. Drives good down the highway. The headlights, taillights, turnsignals, horn, parking brake and wipers work. Original radio doesn't come on.

BODY

The body is very solid for an unrestored truck of this vintage. These trucks are known for having bad rust problems. This truck has no rust in the box. Drivers fender is nice. Passenger has tiny amount of pinhole rust starting in the low corner. Hood has minor rust but another better hood is included. Inner fenders and frame have no rust. Header, firewall, roof and dash are fine. Cab has the usual rocker rust. Has floorpan rust close to the rockers but not too bad.  Will need to be fixed though. Usable as is and no worry about your feet falling out. One cab corner needs repaired. The other one looks ok but I would do both if you do the one, because it's most likely thin if the other is.Minor rust on bottom of the doors. Paint appears original and from my experience, I'm confident that it is. Original 8000 gvw sticker is still on the box on the drivers sidee. No signs of bondo. Original owner sprayed primer here and there to cover surface rust. Most of it's faded off now though. Box is mostly straight but has a couple wrinkles to be fixed. Tailgate opens/closes and latches, as do the doors and hood.

INTERIOR

This is pretty basic and the pics tell the story. It all looks original and it is usable but needs restored. 

OVERALL

This is a very cool chevy project. How many do you see at car shows? I see lots of custom shortbox stepsides, which I like, but it's cool to seen an original restored 4x4. I would personally drive it as-is and it would be nice to put an original set of hubcaps on it.  Feel free to ask questions and make an offer. I can talk via phone if you'd like.
