80 sq body

You couldn't get a shortbed in a 3/4 ton.

So it's either a K20 that's been cut down - or - (more likely) a K10 with 3/4 ton axles.

That's what I thought...but you never know if the badges/fenders have been changed after 45 years.

I love the color. Original paint?

Yes, original paint.

Yes, original paint.

Are you planning to preserve what is on it now or paint it again one day? It looks pretty awesome/timeless/"vintaged" (reliced?) and will look way better when you wash, buff, and wax it!

I think......just preserve it. Debating about what to use. Poppy's Patina makes me want to try it.

I bought a Milwaukee buffer, best thing I ever bought for buffing, which is what I would do. Wax that thing, it will look awesome the first time, and better each time after. Here are some before and after pics of my 85 C20
