This 1969 Chevrolet K20 is a long-bed 4×4 pickup that was used as a fire truck in Fairmont, Minnesota, before it was refurbished in its original white over red vinyl in 2017. Powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, it has 16″ steel wheels, chrome bumpers, and power steering. The truck was acquired on BaT in June 2020 by the selling dealer, who reports completing paintless dent repairs and replacing the battery in preparation for the sale.
Originally built as a chassis cab (model code KE20903), the truck was subsequently equipped with a water pump utility bed and painted yellow for fire service duty. In 2017, a Fleetside pickup bed was sourced, and the exterior was refinished in white with C20 badging and black body side moldings. Some dents around the vehicle were repaired after the selling dealer acquired the truck, and paint touch-ups were completed along with paint-correction work.
The 16″ steel wheels have bright hubcaps and are mounted with 285/75 Cooper Discoverer A/T3 tires. Warn manually locking front hubs and vacuum-assisted drum brakes are additional elements.
The bench is trimmed in red vinyl over dark all-weather flooring, and the cab has a color-keyed dashboard pad, door panels, sun visors, and steering wheel.
A black instrument panel frames the 100-mph speedometer, which has a five-digit odometer showing 16k miles, however the selling dealer reports that total mileage is unknown.
Factory rated at 195 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque, the 350ci V8 has “ram’s horn” exhaust manifolds mated to a dual exhaust system. Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission paired with a dual-range transfer case, and the truck was equipped at the factory with a locking rear axle.
