My Trail-Rig/Rock Crawler project.

First time out Malik's First Time Out - YouTube
Quick walk-around '73 1 Ton K5 Trail Rig on 42's - YouTube

















Runs and drives. I bought this as a cheap rock crawler that I could beat up and later use for parts building a rock buggy. Very simple and strong build. It's been wheeled hard and works great. Was in the process of gutting the inside. Has rear bench and full roll cage inside. I really want to keep it, but I'm getting out of the Air Force and going back to school. I don't think I'll be able to afford this hobby for a while. I've been trailering this rig to the trail and back because it has a full spool in both axles. 18ft Trailer included for $5500 Firm

Specs:
1973 K5
350 (Crate 30k)
Th350
NP203 Twin Sticked
14 Bolt 5.38 Spool
Dana 60 5.38 Spool
52" Springs Front
56" Springs Rear
Crossover steering with hydraulic assist
42x15-16.5 Super Swamper TSL Tires
Full Roll Cage
Ballistic Fab Shock Mounts
Rancho 9012 Shocks in Front
Ballistic Fab 14 Bolt Pinion Guard
Qjet carb
Headman Headers?
Flowmasters

Issues:
Lengthy first start up if sitting for a while. Runs great and starts quickly after that
Leak in steering box

Needs:
Shock mounts need to be fully welded to the frame
Battery box is barely attached at the moment.

Has full doors
extra set of fenders
extra set of stock gears
extra set of rotors
set of (4) 34x10.5-16 TSL mounted on wheels that are almost bald. Pictured on trailer below.

K5 only - $3700

Holy crap that's a good deal! Shame I don't have the $ right now, that's about what I'm in the process of slowly building, it would save me a lot of time and money. Someones going to get a bargain.

...Unless you want to trade for a few rusty piles of crap :doah:
