Wanted: 76' or '77 K5, or '73-'77 pickup

[Jasper Jones]

I am looking for either a K5 or a pickup. The K5 I specifically want one with the '76 to '77 front end only, and the pickup I want with the same front end, which I believe is '73 to '77. These are the only year front ends I am interested in.

I don't want a rust bucket, so no vehicles with major rust issues. I would prefer a running and driving vehicle, and will be willing to pay more for a reliable one. If it is not running, that's not a huge problem. I'm not looking for any fully built rock crawlers, but mildly modified rigs are alright.

Let me know what you have.

Thanks,
Jason

I have a '77 Blazer listed in the trucks for sale section, if you didn't see it.

I've seen it, and I am interested, I am just unsure about the front axle and rocker panel. I still think I might come check it out sometime in the next few weeks.

The front axle is fine, it's the rear that is the problem because of the poor gearing. I have located a 3.73 rear and hope to be installing it soon. The rocker is not a big deal either, as it's just the outer and I have a replacement panel. However, there is rust bubbles over both rear wheel wells and some small rust holes in the right rear quarter panel. There is also some surface rust in some areas of the windshield frame. It's not too bad anywhere and is certainly not a rust bucket compared to most in our area. I don't know what you consider to be major rust, so I just thought I would mention it. If you are interested, I can get pics of anything you would like.
