Got my dream!

Hi dieselponyexpress
I know we could talk in German here, but would not be fair for our American buddies!

Yes, the car has been rebuilt, as i can read from the papers of the ex-owners, the car had an accident and has been build up again after that, the car was already 2 years ago for sale on the Internet, and by that I wanted the car, but someone came before me, and now I own it, sometimes you need luck.

I know the price is perfect, it made the decision for it easier. Thanks for the congrats...

Hey Gamma,


sweet K5, greetings from Germany ;-) For parts and such, just try out:

lmctruck.com, classicindustries.com, cheyenne pickup parts, rockauto, classicparts.com and -most important- ebay.com . I've made a lot of great deals the past years, especially on ebay.com. If you order a lot of parts at one time you can save quite much on shipping. At present the dollar is relatively weak compared to the euro so you can save quite a lot of money. Buying over here -mostly- is expensive, that is true. The only shop that's ok in my opinion is uspartsonline.de as they really have reasonable prices. Maybe you should consider buying a parts manual, if you have the correct part numbers of the things you need it is very easy to find these parts and compare prices & get good deals.

Greetings from Germany (Bavaria)

p.s.

BTW: if you want make an easy $ just get a cheap K5 in decent shape, part it out and sell the parts on ebay (all across Europe) YOu won't believe how much $$ you can make with an old C/K series truck

Hi Flo
Danke für die Tipps, LMC Truck Parts Katalog hab ich bereits, echt gut! Das mit dem Ausschlachten hätt ich vorher wissen müssen, hab meinen alten K5 aber auch ganz gut nach Holland verschachert, mit Gewinn
PS: Bin übrigens auch ein halber Bavarier, meine Mama is aus München...

Ok, enough in German, sorry guys, hope you don't mind that we spoke a bit in our native language. Flo just gave me advice how to find cheap parts in the US, as Europe is not really affordable for it...
