I Found It After 12 Years - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WORNBRAKES · 03-08-2004, 12:32 AM

I was lost for a while and could not find the board. But I am back now and have the rig that I have wanted from the begining. It arrived in my driveway yesterday.
72 K5 , no engine or top but is in great shape otherwise. It will take some work and money to get him on the road but I hope to by mid summer. Jonses swamp is calling his name. I took a few pics to share with you folks.

Alright Mario!!!

Sounds like another road trip, soon as my 96 is road worthy again.

WORNBRAKES · 03-08-2004, 12:36 AM

Last one.

WORNBRAKES · 03-08-2004, 12:53 AM

Sounds good to me. I am going to be working up a list of parts needed soon, and I might can come that way to pick some up. I hope the 96 gets better soon. Sorry to hear that it was wreacked.

Alexis · 03-08-2004, 01:51 AM

what happen to your fence you made?

Nice new rig you got there.

krue · 03-08-2004, 02:24 AM

Holler at me it you go to Gulfport, maybe I can ease down that way and meet ya! Congrats on the score.

jewels. · 03-08-2004, 02:59 AM

hey, WORNBRAKES,

you need to change the title under your avatar! you are no longer lookin for a 4x4!

congrats! nice lookin truck!

jewels.

Blue Beard · 03-08-2004, 07:20 AM

Congrats on finding it (you're the first to relate to it as him....normally its a her)

And what's with parking it next to the ricer?

WORNBRAKES · 03-08-2004, 09:42 AM

Thanks for the replies!
Alex, the fence had to go. I am going to talk with my neighbor this week about calling the law. If he does it again, I will be forced to build a fence of tailgates and hoods that don’t mach and I will also have to to kick his but.
Krue, when I finally do make it to Gulfport, I definitely want to meet you and Ed. I should have done this last year.
As for it being a he, the 68 needed a boyfriend. I just haven’t figured out his name.
Avatar changed. Thanks for reminding me Jewels.
Thanks again.
Mario

greasemonkey · 03-08-2004, 10:51 AM

Nice looking ride, where'd you find it? You hardly ever see those around here.
There is one (71/72 lifted) up Ten Mile Road a ways that has been parked for at least the last seven years, but looks in remarkably good shape...it's not for sale though- trust me. I asked.
Congrats!

*Gee_Emm* · 03-08-2004, 11:14 AM

I know the feeling, I thought that I would never own a Jimmy or Blazer, they arent all that common around here, but then I found one and to make things even better its a 2wd, too bad its a piece of crap though :p

No top?

**Yukon Jack** · 03-08-2004, 01:30 PM

Congrats. I recently found a K5 also, pretty awesome to own!

hgs_notes · 03-08-2004, 01:47 PM

I know where you can get a top for it. PM me for info if you like.

stepside71 · 03-08-2004, 02:13 PM

nice truck, let me guess it was on 90 just east of Davis. I was hoping it would go to a nice home. BTW, hello neighbors ( WORNBRAKES and greasemonkey). I live in Myrtle Grove.

Grim Reaper · 03-08-2004, 04:02 PM

Ahhh you don't want that old thing! I'll be coming though Pensicola April 3 and 10th. What day would be better for you and I'll get that mess out of your driveway?

Lots of potential in that truck.

Vince M · 03-08-2004, 06:48 PM

Mario,

Great find. Keep us posted on the progress.....

still w.i.p '68 · 03-08-2004, 08:58 PM

put the front clip off the '68 on it, looks sweet, good luck.

EdB · 03-08-2004, 09:58 PM

From what I see, the body looks solid. That's a lot of the
battle. Good luck.

EdB

WORNBRAKES · 03-08-2004, 11:54 PM

Thanks for the comments. Yep stepside71 this is the one that was on 90. You aren't that far from me. I am in Bellview, off of Blue Angle and greasemonkey is off of 9 1/2 mile and hwy 29. The body on the truck is solid. The only real rot is under the seat. The boxes and tub are in good shape otherwise. It could use a new pass fender but when I get 38's I will probably end up just trimming the rust off to make room. The top was left in California when the truck moved here. I am going to Linex the inside and make a few different bikini tops for it. I would love to put a 68 front clip on it but just not the one from my C20. All progress will be posted here.
Sorry Grim Reaper, but I chained the truck to the house so he doesn’t wonder.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-09-2004, 12:58 AM

Good score you gotta have a blazer to drop the top in the summer heat!!!
