Got myself a 79 2wd k5.

Hey fellas.

So it is an exciting time for me. I've had a few 4x4 k5s when I was younger but I have wanted a 2wd k5 since 2003ish. I came across this guy on Craigslist and got an awesome deal on it. Already put about 150 miles on it in the last 2 days and she is running great.

Typical stuff done to it.

"Rebuilt" 350 lol
mystery lowering
bondo
dents tons of missing interior bits
all ac stuff there which is nice.

It came with a complete front clip from another 79 that's in great shape. As well as a driver side door.

She was rode hard and out up wet in the past. However you can tell the previous owner has been working to get her running/driving good.

I am going to continue that tradition and try and get all the basic mechanics situated then move onto the suspension then body/interior. Not necessarily in that order. I'm a Craigslist addict so I'm hoping to find someone parting out a burban or k5 that I can rob everything from.





It's currently on the red rally (i know) they are getting painted ASAP.

Well anyways guys I just wanted to stop by and say hey. If I can make some stuff happen I will get the lowering stuff ordered soon. I might be going to the yards this weekend as well to look for some interior parts. There is also a few local gus parting out their burban so I might try and just pick up a complete roller for donations.
