Yeah my thoughts exactly. Must be aiming for the more money than sense buyers.

That seems to work more often than you think. I don't ever seem to benefit from it, but I have seen it happen.
Congratulations to @78SWB for making a deal and hopefully a profit on one of his trucks! Making your hobby pay is awesome!
I have sold all of the parts off my 91 crew cab for more than I have paid for the truck.
You have to make it happen, theres no way I could actually afford this shit with a job.

I disagree. I had over 30 people in the first day blowing me up at $7500. It has a lot of good parts and is in nicer shape than a lot of k5s. Now is it worth 13-14k? Hell no but with rust fixed it’s got some valve. Especially right now.
There is SO MUCH of it all that's influenced by area. And add in the number of people who don't work on vehicles, but also want instant satisfaction when they get the idea of buying something, well then, a buyer is created for something that another person is ready to sell. Weeding out the ones who aren't serious is the only real problem.
The smog laws in the dry areas of the country drive the values down when it costs a decent amount to get an old truck to pass.
Maybe this K5 will get sold on the internet to someone who doesn't have to pay as much to get it shipped to them as it would cost to get one from farther west.
@78SWB your signature line is in need of an update, again...
And I need to find some trucks to sell to you! Lol!
Do you know who they sold it to?

No I don’t. All I was told was a farmer bought it. I think Nick took this picture in South Lincoln a few months after it sold. You can see the person added some stuff to it.
This was a sweet rig. Loved how I didn’t care about getting it dirty or anything.

Glad he kept the wheels!

The best part. It looked better when I had it. I still want to find a bone stock ‘90-‘91 Custom Deluxe 4 speed Blazer with rubber floors again someday.
