Thinking about selling the K-5- Opinions?

I'm thinking about selling the K-5 I got awhile back. It's a solid truck but more of a project that I want to try and tackle right now. Would you stick it out and keep going or would you sell it off and try for something else? Reason is I found a truck that I would love to have and with the K-5 sold I might be able to get the truck. The K-5 I've only driven once and been working on ever since. The truck is a running driving vehicle with 65K miles on it.

Reason I want to keep the K-5 is that the engine is a numbers matching from the facotry sb 400. From what I can tell it's never been even cracked open. I mean I got this from someone else and he never even had it running. I got in running and drove good for being a project truck/play toy. Witha torque motor and probably never been rebuilt it's a really desirebale engine plus the interior seats are factory. I just don't want to get rid of this kind of find but with a 65K truck on the chance of getting it makes me rethink the K-5.

I'm just wanting opinions only. The K-5 is not for sale at this time but I need opinions on what would you do. If and when the K-5 is for sale I'll post it in the classifieds section.

If you don't drive it and don't want to fix it, then sell it and get something you'll enjoy.
