anybody looking for a rust free original paint k5?

I think everybody is interested in something like this. But too bad price is an object. Photos would help but I think you need to post in the for sale section.

You'd probably get more money selling the Hickey stuff off separately on here (hint). Call it target marketing.

its in storage, hard to dig out. heres a couple shots of the outside. i want to build a prerunner and this thing it way to nice to cut up. it has a set of 5-6" deaver springs in it now and i have a pile of hickey stuff for it. i think i will put stock springs in it and look for a ok 70. i will post up a few more pics.

You are right that it would be wrong to cut that thing up. Doesn't Toyota make them prerunners? Definately not my color but have a friend serious about buying a blazer that same color. I dont think he knows what hickey is. Very nice Chevy!

Re: anybody looking for a rust free original paint k5?
Fantastic truck and good job collecting those hard to find parts. Way too nice K5 to convert to a 2wd IMO. I'd love to rebuild and drive that rig. I know this not a for sale thread but what do you think you would need for the package? There's a 2wd 72 listed locally here on CL...

<covetous drool> That's quite a Hickey collection - I think I just violated the 10th Commandment.

Re: anybody looking for a rust free original paint k5?
heres a shot of it the day i had it trucked in. i had 14,300 in it that day if that puts things into perspective. have had alott of them and this is the cleanest one so far. have learned either pay the body man and wait for it to come back or spend the same money up front and not worry. did not want to go 2wd. but more od a norra race truck. i'm on a team that races the score series in mexico. vintage chace/race truck

The only thing you did that was wrong (which is not always wrong) is let people drool over this fine rig and parts you have. I was just asking if it was for sale because your post was not quite clear. Youve been on the forum a while and Im sure you know the value and rarity to find a clean rig as well as knowing the other members on here that would love to do a project like this. The board does have a trucks for sale section here maybe try there. Good luck on whatever you decide for this fine rig. I think by you having second thoughts not to modify an original shows your love for the hobby. Good luck! Brian |

Yea that K5 looks to be the HOLY GRAIL of cream puffs. It should be restored to STOCK and that's it. Much better to find a fixer-upper to do what you have in mind. Love 12" of lift, 10 shocks, 572 in. motor, 1ton axles.................... oh yea

Re: anybody looking for a rust free original paint k5?
looks great!

Re: anybody looking for a rust free original paint k5?
That Blazer would be a dream find! Subscribed in case you decide to sell. Probably out of my price range, but it doesn't hurt to drool!

Re: anybody looking for a rust free original paint k5?
