Found another K5 for sale, but... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I don't think this piece is worth much. I looked it over for a few minutes and figured the only bady parts worth using were the hood, the windshield frame and the top. The rest of the body is scrap metal bolted to a frame. The guy said it runs good and the 4wd stuff works. The tires were 17" and if you bought it all they were asking about $1200, and around $800 without the wheels/tires. I'm not sure I'd go over half that.

I have seen 2 K5's on the road and for sale that were in worse shape than both of the ones I pulled out of the junkyards last summer. Ick.

A few more

bouncytruck · 08-08-2008, 12:18 AM

Not much left and I wouldn't pay the $800. Maybe $400.

I am interested, could you send me the contact info for where this gem is at? The license are MN ? My father lives in MN and pickup would not be a problem. I would appreciate if you could give me the info this is just what I am looking for. Thanks 72 bbblazer

I hope you want it solely for the windshield frame cause otherwise I'd suggest saving your money.

to far gone to even make a rock crawler out of it.. 400 if it runs good.. keep the dodge wheels..

Bentblazer · 08-08-2008, 08:30 AM

Well you guys know how to make a guy feel good. Looks a little better than what I started with. Paid 500 for mine, runs decent looked crappy. Think I took it up the hind end

**Yukon Jack** · 08-08-2008, 09:15 AM

Yikes. I got mine not running but with pretty minimal rust for $650, to me it's doesn't have a value more than $300-$400 at the most - all it has going for it is the potentially good motor/tranny/tc and axles. If it were me, I'd definitely pass.

dirty trucker · 08-08-2008, 09:53 AM

Well, It's a GMC with a Chevy front end... That's probably worth a couple hundred anyway!!!

**lks dcvn** · 08-08-2008, 11:50 AM

keep on walking (for that price).

...exactly, the last parts blazer I picked up was better than that one and I only gave $350.00 for it.

Somebody needs to go pinch the guy and wake him up, cause he's dreamin'

AJs72K5 · 08-08-2008, 11:59 AM

I think I need a tetanus shot just from looking at it.

Spray-Bomb · 08-08-2008, 12:29 PM

Look at it as if it doesnt have a body, cuz that thing is rough !!!

My favorite pic is the one where the screw is holding on the 1/2" thick bondo

CLASSIC87' · 08-08-2008, 03:08 PM

^^^ my thought's exactly (before I even strolled down to read the posts')... I wouldn't even feel safe towing that thing on a trailer! lol (JMO)

pumpkin · 08-08-2008, 03:58 PM

If he left the 17" s on there I Might haul it away for free,,,,,, if he lived next door.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-08-2008, 11:57 PM

My only question is who put all that bondo on the outside....... Man I would have used the rest of the can to patch the floors...
