Just got my first K5 a couple weeks ago and can't stop tinkering with it. It was my friend Daniels truck who died in a car accident 2 years ago and his dad finally agreed to sell it to me. I am going to put alot of work into it and get it all fixed up how he would want it. So I am going to be on here constantly looking for help with it. I have already dropped about a grand on it so far; extended the rear driveshaft, re-ran the exhaust to allow the front driveshaft to go on, then replaced the transfer case after I found out it was shot, replaced the rear glass and the handle to roll it up, put some royal purple in it, I have a steering gearbox on the way, and a bunch of other odds and ends that add up quickly. I still need to fix the rust that is building up on the floorboards around the front seats and spray the inside with bedliner, get the seats recovered (there is a grey one, a blue one, and a red one), recolor all the vinyl on the inside, put some heavy duty bumpers on it and mount my winch, and put some gears in it. Could probably use some bondo on the passenger side and a fresh coat of paint too. But I promised the wifey I would slow down on dumping money into it. I am in Houston and I actually have a couple of spots to go wheeling over here, so let me know if you are close. Either way, I am looking forward to getting some good info from all the K5 veterans.
