nice steal there

anything that still has the rear arches intact like that is worth tons

ya stole that one especially here in the rust belt

 

[pauly383]

I love that style wheel . Are they nice enough to clean up ?

Whats the big yellow tube in the engine compartment?

Whats the big yellow tube in the engine compartment?

i belive its the kill switch for the battery, the trucks wired to start on a switch insted of a key, and yes the rims are in good shape and can be cleaned up, not sure if im gonna keep em tho

Looks like a better deal than the '77 I picked up a few weeks back (not including the tires/rims) for a set of off-brand 37" tires and $400 cash. It smoked so bad, and had just enough rust I decided to part it out instead of fix it.

But yours looks fairly rust free and pretty straight for a $600 K5. Looks like from what you can see of the motor it looks pretty clean, with an aluminum intake even. Good deal.

got some better pics and flexed it out in my yard today, i was bored and i broke the ebreak cable, put new exhuast hangers on, and thats about it

 

[colbystephens]

nice flex.

 

[1985_K5_Silverado]

Looks like a great deal! Keep the graffiti (it gives the truck that urban street cred).

 

[BigCountryx]

I would have given 600 bucks justfor the full conv. parts and top

 

[mountainexplorer]

It actually looks better in the daylight pictures.

jealous you bet i am

 

[chopped&bobbed77burb]

great score ! I wish I could find a deal like that out in my area . I would strip my burb and put all the parts on a Blazer . I'm sure I could find a home for the burb body . I miss my old 74 . I should have never sold it .

That's just craxy talk. You could never get rid of your rig........too unique, you'd miss it every day.

I might miss it but I have a problem with creating stuff and shortly thereafter punting it and building or creating something else . I guess I'm never content . I may be selling it (burb) to get back into racing again ONLY this time it will be 125cc shifter carts instead of superbikes . I can always build another 4x4 .
