2wd K5 worth? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, though my parents think I am totally out of my mind, I did it again... I bought another truck, lol

The truck is an 84 Chevy Blazer, ex diesel rig. Paid 450 bucks total, has a 350, 700r4 / 208 combo. Unfortunately, needs a new rear window (totally gone), seats, and a new 700r4.

Anyways, the plan is to swap the 4x4 stuff from this truck over to my 77, and the 2wd stuff from the 77 to the K5, then re-sell it.

The truck is in pretty good shape, only rust I could find on the whole rig is in the rocker panels. No rot in the floor pans, rear bed floor, bed-sides, inner rockers / rocker boxes etc. However, it did get flopped on it's side, so it has two dents in the driver's bed-side, and the door has been replaced with a rather rusty one...

I'd fix the dents (not creased, probally just pull em out), and replace the door, put new seats in etc before selling, but I'd be interested in knowing how much a guy should ask for it one I finish...

Actually, as of right now, I'm down to doing the head / cam swap, and bodywork, both of which will wait till spring when its a bit warmer, so I don't really have much to do on my GMC, lol

Oh, and I should mention, this Blazer is the very first Chevy I've owned... Every other truck I've bought has been a GMC, lol

well time to add it to the sig! Also that threade done a while back should come in very handy for you. It is hard to say the value of the k5 till it is all done but i bet it will be nice.

good luck
