Well, next paycheck and my daily driver will be paid off, So its come time to start shopping for another K5, Just been looking around a little, I found this 85 CUCV

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/589241607.html

Needs rust repair and a couple other things, not too sure about the 6.2, not even sure if its worth it at the cost of fuel for it! More then gas :doah:Are 6.2's any good with low gearing and big tires with forced induction? Better to just go with a 6.5, cummins, big block 500? I want a monster motor, no matter if its gas or otherwise. Truck will be 12 inches of lift, 5.13's, 44's, 1 tons, turbo or supercharger, ect.

I don't want to buy a nice truck, because i'm going to be taking it down to bare frame and rebuilding from the frame up. But I don't want a junker either, I wish I could find a full vert, but my luck hasn't been very great there.

I'm just gonna shop around, and see what I can find, if anyone in PA has any deals, or anywhere close, let me know! :bow:
 
i bought my 85 cucv in pieces and pretty solid and paid 800 for it, since your gonna build it up anyways might not be a bad idea to look for just a rolling chassis
