Not mine, but seems like a pretty good deal.

If I didn't have 2 projects in the works and had the cash I'd be over there lickity split.

I am reasonably sure the GMC specific V6 was offered through 1966, after that the GMC's got whatever the Chevy's got. Interestingly the GMC and Chevy Suburban's of that era also got different suspension. They were truly two very different trucks (unlike the re-badge now-a-days)

Looks in very nice shape, the bumper and camper conversion stuff would have to go if it was mine though!!

A buddy of mine got the ok from his wife and is going to drive over there on Saturday and check it out if he still has it. We should be looking at another CK5'er if it works out.
 
^^^^ What he said. I would ditch the front bumper, but keep the rest of it as it is. That's nice.
 
I have a friend in the area of this truck, and he went to see it. It apparently came from Montana, and was owned by an old man (80 or so) who did all the work himself. Apparently it was an OK truck for what it was, but according to my friend the whole bottom half of the truck was painted with a brush, and one whole side of the truck had so much bondo it wouldn't hold a magnet.

Not saying it isn't an awesome truck (I think it is VERY cool), but I think the pictures make it look quite a bit nicer than it is.
