I've been looking for a truck with a runnng 454 to swap drivetrains into the 77 2wd K5 I just bought and I just came across this truck. Its an 85 k20 4*4 w/454 (was diesel) pw,pl ac even works, best part is $400!!!!!! Just got off the phone with the guy and he was on his way out to dinner but said he'd wouldnt sell it and I could pick it up tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed he doesnt sell this thing on me. Here's a couple pics

Does Denver have an abundance of killer deals just lying around or what?

Yep...go west for the best!

Plans for the K20? Parting out? I'm on the lookout for a 14bolt rear axle and the front 8 lug parts to convert mine over. so we don't turn this into a parts thread, PM me here if you are going to tear it down to parts.

Ok you guys arent going to believe this!!!! I went to pay for the truck today and just had to laught out loud when I got there. Other than the passenger bedside where a snow chain fell off and dented the panel there is 0 rust on this truck, only one dent in the passenger door and really no other dings or dents. This guys dad is the origanal owner (clean title), truck only has 77k original miles and the motor (454) only has 87k!!!!! The seat is in great shape as well as the door panels etc but the headliner is sagging a bit, also has brand new battery, and tires ha ha ha. Fires right up and drives great only problem with the running condition is it stalls at idle sometimes (maybe a carb issue?)

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I pick it up. I cant belive I got this truck for $400

I'm confused ( that pretty normal though) how does the truck have 77k original miles and motor 87k, motor has 10k more than truck? What they loose tne motor and replaced with another?

the truck was originally a diesel, he replaced it with the 454 out of a truck he totalled that only had 10k miles. Not sure if its 100% true or not but it runs awesome doesnt even smoke on startup.
