Since you guys have had been so much help I thought I'd throw this at you too.
I am thinking off taking the tire carrier on my K5. I like it... BUT I also love the rearend of these trucks. It takes up the whole tailgate!
The good thing about mine is that you can take off each side. The "arms" bolt on. The whole assy does not touch the body. It it bolted and welded. It would be easy enough to take off.
What do you guys think it would be worth? (I'd sell it with the gas cans, rim/tire and lock, if needed)
I have no idea at all what this cost to build or what it might be worth.
Any thoughts? I'll post a bunch of pics.

-guess I am trying to see if it is worth selling and cutting off the frame or if I should just take off the arms and leave the frame on for now?

$100 AS-IS
$200 with a fresh coat of paint and new hardware to clean up the look...

It is a unique design, and if you don't want it there is probably someone out there who does...

I seen you at faststrip last week

Ah... that was you! I like your rig, better color than mine. (I hate the paint on mine!)

I sent you a PM, I am thinking of going by my bro-in-law's shop this week to have him cut it off. (has a plasma) I am off for 4 days so we'll get in touch.
