Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
I take it you were only wanting the chassis? Body looks pretty rough!

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Yeah, it's pretty much shot. Frame is good as well as the top, hardware, front seats, and some other misc items. There may be some salvageable body parts to cut out for patches. Still figuring out what I want to do with it, but it's a fo-realz '72 2-wheeler.

Part of me agrees with you. I had thought of doing a PB'd, patina'd roadster (it's hugger under the black), but the body is just too rough. CST, Highlander, 2wd? <-- I like this idea! Hm, what kind of stuff do you need?

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
If you do the body swap, I could really use the front seats out of the donor. Maybe the top and hatch if they are good. Maybe a few other pieces... Hell, it sounds like I should get everything you take off of the donor.

You should do whatever makes you happy. Funny thing is I could have picked one up for a song back in the late 80s. My Bro in law had a 72 all original that needed some rust repair. But it was 2wd original ochre special. Hind sight is 20-20. |

Just think, if you had picked up that 2wd in the eighties, it would have probably ended up pro-street, tubbed, monochrome teal, with a pink heartbeat stripe and grey tweed interior!

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
how about i buy this truck from you (save this truck from you) for what you think is reasonable price, so you can get a nice 2wd.

I have no doubt if you do put the body on the 2wd frame it will be super cool. Looking forward to the build. Yeah, I lived through the pro street days, tweed, and candy colors. I regret that I never had the foresight to buy that thing from him. At the time, if wasn't a big block, I didn't have any interest. Go figure. THIS is a spitting image, except stock height and more rust. |

If you put a price on it, be careful, someone will pay it. Happened to me recently!
