Original motor is gone (probably for the better).
Fresh 350 which is a plus.
Rockers look shot, but comes with them. Problem is, there is likely rot further in.
It is an A/C truck, but not functional seeing as it does not have a compressor.
Lift looks shorter than 6" for some reason... Looks to have the same stance of my K5 with 3" BL.

I would offer $1000 only if it is running nad driving. Inspect around the rear wheel wells for rot. Really look close at all of the body mounts to make sure that none of them have collapsed due to rust.

Yes that is a good deal. Is it a 76? I guess someone has put in an 80 grill and headlights. All 1980 GM 4x4s came with a NP205 transfer case. Maybe other parts were swapped as well? Nice project, I love full size K5s.

Yea, I agree. I am not a fan of the 1980 only front end... but that's my opinion, for only $750 maybe I could learn to love it too.
