The rear side windows, sure does. I'm currently looking at possibly cutting them down to fit in my removable top to get in glass tint for nothing... You could potentially change my mind. Shipping would be a bear though.

actually they are laminated glass so cutting them down would be a fairly easy job. any good glass shop should be able to do it. yeah shipping would be a bear and i can find a donor closer to home .

wow... you really paid $500 bucks for it?
that's a great deal.

i got my 74 for close to 5k... but it is pretty clean.. original paint, top never off, 33 x 12.5's, no rust under the hood or in the bed or rockers... it even has ac that works...

it needs front end and bushings, shocks, tires, read dif seal....
so i think ill come in at about 9k into it without paint.. after it gets to be road worthy...

Yep. $500! And I've been enjoying driving it around (except for the gas bill) so much that I haven't had the heart to pull it off the road for the sheetmetal work. Surprisingly enough, the drivetrain is in perfect condition on mine. It's just the rockers, a bit of floor, and the wheel arches that are in need of work.

Sorry. This is a reoccuring statement, but I have been enjoying my K5! Hopefully, once I get my "new" air compressor installed, I will get the rest of the stuff ready to start tearing into the truck. The new compressor will allow for better use of my air tools which was one of the main stumbling blocks I was trying to overcome in the past.

My plan of attack is to swap out the fenders first, then go at the floor and front cab supports. Hopefully I can get this done over the winter, but I really am in no rush to take the truck off the road.

I wish I had more time to work on it...

As far as my signature, I'm not good at photoshop so I requested the help of people who are. I just posted a request in the Chop Shop section.
