Thanks Rory. I finally decided somewhat the color/direction I want to go. It's not exact but this is more or less close enough to what I'm thinking.

It looks like shit . You should just give it to me so this ugly thing doesnt take up space at your place

LOL whatever Cartwright! I don't care what you say! This truck is staying with me for life. I still think I should have kept my last one but now that I have one again I am never selling let alone GIVING it away!

wow that awesome.. remember detailed pics through this build lol im looking forward to them.


IMO you should think about a 2 tone from the groove on the top of the fenders. maby like a blue and a bluish silver, or like a oil slick black and victory red

that makes me want a k5 lol

I'm torn on the grille honestly. I won't go with the 67-68 grille though. It is between this one and a billet grille.

Thanks BOSS. It's in pretty decent shape given that the guy who owned it before would take it trail riding etc thus the few dents it has. I am just happy it didn't have rust. I can handle the body work no problem. I will be cleaning it up substantially.

I totally agree. That truck is really GArY. Send me the address and I'll help you out by taking it off your hands. You can call it a mercy killing, lol.

Ha Ha

All joking aside, I'm so jealous dude.

I think you should do a cool 2 tone red/black paintjob =D!

Damn, I love the early k5's. I've wanted one since I was a little kid after seeing a mean, pristine, lifted one in black, drive by my house. I think they look awesome in silver as well. I think a solid color matches the persona of that body style. But that's just me. I've been keeping my eyes open for one for a while now with no luck. The ones I see are all rotted away, or in excellent shape but way out of my price range. Anyways, awesome truck man! And even if I'm a little late here, good luck with your project!
