Will do, there are some nice ones around here for sale. I might just have to settle for both a jeep and blazer!

I've owned a couple of K5's and they are great once you great rid of the 700r4 the TBI and the 10bolts. Basically the whole drive train. Oh yea and the frames all brake at the powerstering box so that too. But if you built it with 14 bolt locked rear dana 60 front and LS motor and a NV4500 trans plus box the frame it you couldn't beat it IMO. Other wise just use wing nuts to put it together cause the drive train loves to explode. PLus if you are going to spend the time and the money get the earl 70's with round fender wells and full removable top. Way better.

I have owned a '76 and a '79 k5 and they are great!!! Once you upgrade the drivetrain lol. They were some pretty good trucks. Now i own a '76 ramcharger. Parts for the k5 are cheap and everywhere. The earlier models didn't have a fold forward rear seat but you can always replace the seats with tahoe removeable 3rd row seats. Plus when you take the seats out to put your 3 wheeler in the back you have something to strap it to
