Just being clean and complete like that makes it worth $2500 easy as long as its not rolling bondo. Check for rot everywhere you can. The truck looks nice, good luck with it.

That K5 looks very cleam from the pics. I wouls check the rear inner wheel wells, rockers, and tail pan area with tailgate open. These areas are all prone to rust.

From the pics it looks clean for the money.Especially an interior looking that good. Look for cracked frame at steering box and rust up under the floor where supports are. The step-down from the cargo area and rear pan are problem areas,too.
