Sell the CC!! Sell a kidney!! Sell the wife!!! NOT the K5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Sorry to see that you're selling it. Sweet rig. Mind if I use some of your build pics for inspiration on my '74 project?
 
Sorry to disapoint (SPLG) guys sometimes it just bees that way. I am tired of it. I no longer have the means or time to support this habit. I am sure I will regret it, but that is just how it goes sometimes.

Besides, I really doubt it will sell. No one wants to buy a built rig, too much cash to drop at once. I will say this though, You could not duplicate this rig for less than $25,000. Ask me how I know.

K2m, knock yourself out. Plenty have asked to borrow ideas. I wouldn't post pics of it if I was worried about it. Got something else you want to see pics of, feel free to ask.
 
if you didn't live cross country id buy it in a heart beat man... sweet rig... the cops would love me in my town for driving it too :D
 
I'm sorry to see you sell it, but if I had the cash I would jump on it. Yours has always been one of my favorite trucks. I don't doubt that you have $25k in it.
 
IF you do part it let me know about the seats, harnesses, transmission, transfercases and tires and wheels.

Shipping would be to 91345 business addy.

Hell you might as well buy the whole thing if you need all those parts. Not considering parting at this time.
 
I was wondering how much parts were to see what I would take if it was parted out. I was not going to bu them all but checking to see what I could get.

Thanks for the info.
 
My apologies. I thought I had read on your 1st post that if it didn't sell it would get parted.

if you bought it and parted it out, you could probably part it for $20k. the truck is sweet, perfect for someone who wants a well built rig thats ready to rock and roll without the headaches of doing 1 off custom stuff or w/o access to the necessary tools/resources.
 
Sorry, not interested in selling it off piece by piece.

The only way, & I mean only way I would consider (still doubtful) that is if someone wanted to buy the tub, frame & cage as one piece. That way I know I could sell all of it. I don't want rid of it bad enough to part it.
