Just picked it up today! 1970 Chevy K10, half ton 4X4, 350 small block, factory air, factory tach, factory tilt wheel & cab light. Needs some work but in damned good shape for a 42 year old truck.

Petey likes old vehicles and restoration projects so I'll ping him for you.
That factory in-dash tach is a rate bird,and I have seen them sell for stupid money.
Imagine my surprise when I decoded the VIN tonight, to find that this is a 3/4 ton truck. It's a K20, not a K10. I'm not that familiar with these old Chevy's, and I would have sworn that it was a 1/2 ton. Someone has either put the '10' emblems on or swapped the dog house and didn't take them off. Oh well, I'm still happy with it.
If it has 6 lug wheels,it's a half-ton. If it has 8 lug wheels,it's a 3/4 or 1 ton. I'd crawl around under it if I were you and look for evidence of frame damage and repair. Chances are it has been hit if the VIN says half-ton (look for the tag in the drivers door jam or on the inside lid of the glove box)for the Gross Vehicle Weight.

OK, now I'm really confused. This truck has 6 lug wheels and the emblems say 10. But according to this site 67-72chevytrucks.com/Chevyear.html this is a 3/4 ton truck. The VIN starts out KE240J. The title VIN matches the vehicle VIN on both the door plate and the sticker in the glovebox. K= 4x4 E = V-8 Gas 2 = 3/4 Ton 4 = Pickup with Cab and Bed 0 = 1970 J = Janesville Assembly Plant I guess this could be a body swap, with a 1/2 ton drivetrain and a 3/4 ton body?
