Hey, Just signed up after following along on some very informative threads. I bought my first K5 3 years ago (it’s been my dream truck since I was a kid). Once the K5 needle hit the vein I’ve gone a little crazy for them. All 3 are good and bad in opposite spots.
Brown one has no engine and blown tranny. It’s got a pretty good interior. All the plastic clips and odds and ends pieces are complete. For $600 I had to.
Black one has a newer engine rebuild and I bought it and picked it up directly for the transmission shop that put a new one in.
I just bought the red silver one. I look in the bed and see every single panel that has rust on it now has a replacement. 350 with headers. Holley carb. ¾ ton 8 lugs. It’s going to be my road queen eventually but a very VERY rough barebones interior. Rust everywhere inside.
Anyway, I’m sure there’s a new member forum but I searched quickly and didn’t see it. So, go easy on me. I’m just a pipe fitter pretending to be a mechanic here.

however, I always enjoy good company and few cold ones. Not very many members on here close to the GA/FLA line that I am aware of.
