Sold it for $4200 about a year ago. It was cherry, though. 60K miles. Your best friend for parts is LMC Truck. They have every part for that truck from bumper to bumper - without all the JC Whitney crap. I had an ‘89 K1500 longbed with the 5.7L gas. Sold it for $4200 about a year ago.

Mine sports a cheap Earl-Scheib paint job so it looks fine from 10ft away, also features low oil pressure, always-on ATF drip and occasional rpm hunting. Despite all this I love the size, towing capacity and brawn of this truck, it's also easy to live with on a semi daily basis as opposed to today's 3/4 ton trucks...I thought the titan was HUGE when it first came out, now it looks puny next to the new Tundra and the domestic 3/4 trucks.

The last time I commented on a truck blog, my fellow mongers smoked me. Good luck on the build. The up side about Texas is winter won't slow the progress. Oh no you don’t!
