Yes, I know this a major disappointment to everyone. But I think it's time to move on.
Ive got it up for sale on Craigslist, I'm open to trades, but it must be another almost running vehicle.
Im keeping the 502, th400, and holley efi for something else.
What I REALLY want is a k30 srw.

I'd be willing to trade even for a nice, clean, open titled minimal rust k30 srw with a 60 front, 14/70 rear. Even a drw would be OK.

I don't want 4 wheelers, sxs's, ford's, dodges, or projects that need full restoration. I want squarebodies, or even a cool old 67-72 burb, or pickup.

I really want either a nice shortbed k10, c10, k20, or c20. Or obviously a k30. No c30.


I don't know what price tag to put on it. I know what I have in it, and I'll never get that back. But I certainly cannot accept offers of 5000.


Here's the listing.

And here's the build thread.

As I said, motor and transmission does not go with it. T case can.

If you seriously insist on motor and transmission, I'm gonna need full price for the whole setup. Another 15,000, which includes efi, th400 built for 600 HP and big tires, and the 502, which has never been fired but to dyno tune.

As far as trading even goes, the title must be ABSOLUTELY CLEAN.
Even if it's in your dad's name, I won't trade. I'm a real dick about that because I've gotten ripped off too many times on titles.

Welcome to the looking for a k30 SRW club. I'm picky though because I want a 454 and automatic.

Good luck.

Good idea. At least CA should have rust free trucks. Or pretty close.

As far as looking I found out I can "look" at facebook market place without signing up. There are a fair amount of squarebody's on there for sale. If you find something and don't have an account you may know someone who does that can get contact info. I've done that a couple of times as I just don't want to sign up. :shrug: might help, might not.

I have a bogus Fb account just for browsing and listing the classifieds, no profile pic or info, any of that. I probably should browse there.
