Re: Found a 1972 K5 CST

Re: Found a 1972 K5 CST
15 x 8 were never offered from GM. Your K5 had 15x6 steel wheels. I believe it had painted white caps - chrome caps and wheel covers were options.

Re: Found a 1972 K5 CST
Who put the window crank and door handles on the drivers door? Were they blind or something?
 Need more pics, looks nice though.

Re: Found a 1972 K5 CST
My paint man has it ready for paint tmrw. It had a couple of dime size rust holes
In the windsheild post up high. Guess it held moisture under the weatherstrip. I loaded it up And took it to Charles Calvin in cedar mtn. Nc and he made the pieces and tig welded them in. He is absolutely THE MAN with making odd panels etc.and when hes done you can't Tell its been touched. Check out. His website ...charlescalvindesign.com |

Re: Found a 1972 K5 CST
I saw him make full quarters for a 50's Studebaker wagon. When I have rust issues I take stuff to him and it gets done and looks great.

Re: Found a 1972 K5 CST
A lot of people don't realize what a beautiful color that is when fresh and new. Really nice!
