This record tracks one restored 1976 Chevrolet K20 under VIN CKU2461148151; CLASSIC.COM describes its trim as Scottsdale, which remains unverified by factory option documentation. Trucks & Auto, ClassicCars/Boardwalk Motors and syndicated listings are repeat appearances of the same truck. A photographed GM identification/loading plate visibly bears the exact VIN, 7,500-lb GVWR, 3,700-lb front GAWR and 4,880-lb rear GAWR. A separate GM of Canada certification decal in the dealer gallery reportedly gives 3/76, but that photograph does not visibly repeat the VIN; its association with this truck rests on the gallery. No SPID, build sheet, invoice or factory option record was recovered. The auction and dealer describe a restored, modified truck with a replacement/rebuilt 454, four-inch lift, black repaint and changed wheels. Those details describe its later condition, not factory equipment. Dealer odometer descriptions differ, including 80,714, 80,764 and 80,765 miles; lifetime mileage is unverified. The June 2026 auction displayed a $13,000 high bid with reserve not met; a later dealer ask was $44,800, not a sale. Original equipment, label originality, current custody and lifetime mileage remain open. No gallery images are reproduced.

Evidence status
Verified identity: the exact VIN and 7,500-lb GVWR, 3,700-lb front GAWR and 4,880-lb rear GAWR are legible on a photographed GM metal loading plate. This does not verify factory options, original engine, mileage or special-edition status.
Factory documents
The photographed VIN-bearing GM loading plate reads CKU2461148151, 7,500-lb GVWR, 3,700-lb front GAWR and 4,880-lb rear GAWR. It establishes identity and loading ratings, not the as-built option list. No VIN-matched SPID, build sheet, invoice or window sticker has been located.
Physical vehicle evidence
The source gallery photographs the VIN-bearing metal loading plate and, separately, a GM of Canada certification decal reportedly dated 3/76. The decal image does not visibly carry this VIN, so its association is limited to the dealer gallery. The truck is pictured in restored condition with black paint and altered equipment. The loading plate’s originality or whether it was removed and reattached during restoration has not been established; present paint, engine, wheels and trim do not establish the 1976 build.
Owner or seller statements
Trucks & Auto described a rebuilt 454 with performance cam, four-inch lift, black Ford-code repaint, WELD wheels and refreshed interior. Its June 2026 listing showed a $13,000 high bid after 36 bids with reserve not met. Boardwalk later advertised a $44,800 asking price. Auction and dealer descriptions give differing odometer figures, including 80,714, 80,764 and 80,765; no lifetime-mileage conclusion follows.
Later research
The VIN’s U engine-code character is separate from the seller-described replacement/rebuilt 454 currently fitted. The plate does not establish a production date for a neighboring VIN or authenticate original equipment. Multiple dealer and auction appearances under CKU2461148151 are one truck.

Open questions
Can a VIN-matched SPID, build sheet, invoice or original dealer file establish the as-built engine, paint, trim and options? Is the separate 3/76 decal original to this truck, and were either labels moved during restoration? What are the lifetime mileage, later transaction history and current custody?
