Does $5k Buy anything decent these days????

[arkracing]

So I'm thinking about buying another Truck. '71 or '72 K20 prefferably (I haven't found anything yet though) I look in the local craigslists, here on the board, local swappers etc.

I'd really like a clean bodied K20

Seems like everything is out of reach that is clean. Projects are in the 3k range and everything seems to be far away from the northeast. JoesJunk recently had a saddle color one that he took the 2wd drive body and put it on a K20 chassis - super nice!! but out of my price range.

any thoughts? Would it be cheaper to buy a rusted out POS K20 and try to find a clean 2wd body?

Sorry - just frustrated

Don't know if it was ever sold, but this thing is sweet!
