Re: K10 versus K5 value

K/5s being a unitized body that was prone to rust makes solid survivors far harder to find. SWB K/10s were lower production,yet an easier truck to survive,repair,etc. because parts from more common variations will swap. So,clean rust free K/5s hold a higher value. A SWB K/10 frame is more valuable than a K/5 frame because you can build a pickup off that frame with available parts (and K/10 SWBs were low production) and there are more surviving K/5 frames than bodies
