Britain needs more K5s!

Hi all,
New Guy here from Sussex UK (originally a Kiwi)
Have *always* wanted a big american truck -- not a monster... but a beast at least!

Looking for anyone with experience importing Blazer K5 or similar from US to UK... approx costs, pitfalls, protocols, partners etc... How to locate a good truck from private market in US without inspection(!?)

Also anyone who can point me in a good direction for locating local clubs, classifieds etc for 2nd hand vehicles already in the country.

Looking for early 70s to late 80s models. V8. LPG. Manual. 5 seater. Not lifted too much (say, up to 6 inch max) ... all these 'preferred' but i'm not too fussy

Thanks Much in advance
Will.

Yay! Another Kiwi! Should've stayed home mate! Lotsa K5's running around Auckland!

At least you're still driving on the right side of the road. LOL
