Re: Looking for a K5

I got a 1969 K5 Blazer, excellent condition I would like to sell. It's listed over on the forsale board with a few pictures. I am motivated to sell looking for a good solid offer. Might consider a partial trade with your 69 depends.

Hi there,

Go to the trucks for sale board type in 1969 in the search box and it will come up.

Re: Looking for a K5

Thanks guys.I don't know how i missed the ad.

asolde,that is an amazing blazer.I really like the color combo.Alot.

Unfortunetly,it's a bit out of my price range.
I think my c10 is worth about 5k,and i could'nt make up the difference on them.


Thanks for the interest.

Re: Looking for a K5

I have one that I will be posting soon. It is my avatar pic. It will need some body work but it is a great start for someone. Rocker boxes are extremely solid, drivers side rust repair finished, needs PS finished and some in the bed floor. It is a 4spd 1971. I just bought a new blazer and I am planning on swapping some parts from my old one before I sell it. Wheels/tires, seats, maybe hood., Etc. Not looking to trade.

Are you looking for turn key or something to build?

Re: Looking for a K5

Just keep searching here and Craigslist. Don't be afraid to travel to drive a completed truck home with you. Get the best rust free one you can afford to start with is my best advice. All the rust ice repaired on mine I could have bought a better condition one to start with and Benny a couple thousand hours ahead.

Re: Looking for a K5

Turning wrenches is easy. Burning in new sheetmetal is tough if you've never done it. If you plan on letting someone else do it for you it gets even worse. Best bet is if you have the cash spend it up front on a better truck. If you want to rebuild one one and have the time to put into it it's fun too. Just a lot of work. And a lot more if you want it to look good after. I did my own work but its taken 15 years and its still not done. No time or money now with wife and kids and all. Would have been smarter to save and buy one in Better condition. You live and learn.

Re: Looking for a K5

Took me a 1.5 yrs to find mine. Patients.... Watchout for craiglist scams- lots of them. After a while you will see them right away. I will echo less rust is way better.

I totally agree. I would rather find a roller with good sheet metal and no drivetrain, rather than find a complete one with new engine/tranny and crappy body. Been looking for 2 years...

Re: Looking for a K5

Yes,you guys are right.
I just need to be patient.


I dont mind a fixer,just needs to be the right one.I can do all of the rust repair.

I have found a few really clean,mostly rust free ones but they all seem to be on the other side of the country.Shipping is my albatross !
