Minimal Rust freeeeeee, and straight...bit of a project.

Strong transmission and t-case, TBI 350 has water in the oil. When I discovered that last bit I parked it a few years back (2019) - it does run, but I just never got around to fix it. Here she sits since. Head gasket or intake? Hell if I know. Engine has about 200k miles on it, trans had been replaced shortly before I bought this rig from @bradshawtech

The steering needs work - has a new gearbox, but there's play in the system somewhere else and I think the spring-to-axle geometry is just plain off. It bump-steers and wanders a bit.

-I *think* the brakes are are pretty new...lol. 80% certain as I type this in a bar 200 miles away. It stops hard on demand.

-It has late-model (early 2000s) front seats and console in it.

-It comes with a 6-bolt 14-bolt semi float rear if you want it to replace the stock axle. No extra charge.

-Headliner is sunk, otherwise a nice interior with stock carpet and rear seat.

-One door got crunched, and I was working on replacing the doors with a straight set when it got parked and life got in the way. You get three good doors (one good original plus both sides replacement).

-Clear title with no back fees (is on California Planned Non-Op).

-Air conditioning was rebuilt and works (with converted R-134a condenser).

As it sits, bring a trailer - do not expect to drive it without a little work.

Can you get some pics of interior? And usual ‘rust’ areas, and under side/frame pics? Grey interior?

Do you have the driver power mirror?
 
That ain’t no rust problem at all !
A few years ago I drove 9 hrs.away to Daytona Beach to buy a 91 K-5 Jimmy - I had specific conversations with the seller about rust and the difference between surface rust and anything worse.
His pictures sucked ( first red flag ) and were too blurry if expanded to see any detail.
When I got there I could see the flaking rust on the tailgate hinges from the road and was able to poke my fingers through the floor upon closer inspection.

All that being said , if that K-5 was as solid as this one I would have gladly jumped on it. That rust you are showing there is truly surface only.
 
I would buy this and 2wd it, but I already have one and might be getting another. Granted this one is basically rust free ........
