Hello all, I'm Steve from the Philadelphia area. I don't have a K5 but am looking for a '69-'72 K5. They are hard to find at a reasonable price these days but I am always looking so i will find something to work on.
I wish GM would bring back the gen 1 K5 like ford is trying to do with the bronco.
If you know of any good 1st gen K5s fore sale let me know.

Hi jean is the k20 something youll be breaking struggling to get parts in the uk all the best john
Hey all been lurking here for a while soaking up ideas. Guess it’s time to make it official.
I live in south Texas in Rockport. Work on Offshore Crewboats as a Boat Captain, Diesel mechanic or whatever else day brings. I’m flexible. HaHa. Anyhow onto the important stuff. 86 k5, 97 350, 6” lift on 35’s. 14b sf with arb, 10 with lunch box and Other random stuff. Spend most my off-road time on PINS(Padre Island National Seashore) it’s 60 miles of beach one way in same place to get out. No cell service bring everything you need. I drive my blazer everywhere I go. Been to big bend, hill country and many a bbq run. Couple of beach pics and big bend.

Welcome Steve,
I'm sure you will find a lead or 2 here

There’s been several 6.2 powered CUCV vehicles roll through the classified section in the last year, and a handful of guys who keep an eye.
Pull up a chair and make a few friends along the way, welcome aboard

Right on. Definitely like the 6.2 can't understand the haters. Mine poured fuel out of the pump, down the exhaust manifold and onto the ground, still drove hundreds of miles on it.
Cranked the starter for 30 seconds TONS of times in a row, cycling glow plugs several times, at the base of Snowdon in Colorado in January and it STARTED. Love that engine.
Also, getting 25 mpg in a full size van full of a huge amount of wall climbing gear (that's iron, not just aluminum), water for a week, etc., that's pretty nice.

That's how I see it.My personal hate for the 6.2 was caused by walking after the crank broke a second time in the same truck
I figure by now the good ones are all that’s left
If it's still around then it's a good one
Hello all. New guy from Tacoma Wa. While I don't currently have a K5 at the moment I had a 77 in the past and I'm casually looking for one now but will be seriously looking to buy after the first of the year.
Ok now I'm official. My 77 that I sold for peanuts 15 years ago and my 85 That I bought this past Sunday
Your sin for selling back then was atoned when you bought this one. Welcome.
What's the plans for this one?
