Found another K5 for sale, but...

I don't think this piece is worth much. I looked it over for a few minutes and figured the only bady parts worth using were the hood, the windshield frame and the top. The rest of the body is scrap metal bolted to a frame. The guy said it runs good and the 4wd stuff works. The tires were 17" and if you bought it all they were asking about $1200, and around $800 without the wheels/tires. I'm not sure I'd go over half that.

I have seen 2 K5's on the road and for sale that were in worse shape than both of the ones I pulled out of the junkyards last summer. Ick.

Not much left and I wouldn't pay the $800. Maybe $400.

I hope you want it solely for the windshield frame cause otherwise I'd suggest saving your money.

Re: Found another K5 for sale, but...

Yikes. I got mine not running but with pretty minimal rust for $650, to me it's doesn't have a value more than $300-$400 at the most - all it has going for it is the potentially good motor/tranny/tc and axles. If it were me, I'd definitely pass.

Re: Found another K5 for sale, but...

Look at it as if it doesnt have a body, cuz that thing is rough !!!

My favorite pic is the one where the screw is holding on the 1/2" thick bondo

...exactly, the last parts blazer I picked up was better than that one and I only gave $350.00 for it.

Somebody needs to go pinch the guy and wake him up, cause he's dreamin'
