Depending on what you want for your setup, and what brands you choose the price for parts can vary alot. Most people will choose an 8 valve setup, with either an 8-12 gal or 2 5 gal tanks, 2 compressors, and a 3/4 link setup for the rear for a nice versatile daily driver setup. Then you can build or remove from there if you want something simpler or more complex. Personally I wouldn't do anything less than that for a daily driver, unless you absolutely couldn't afford it, and planned to upgrade stuff in the future. I'll leave all the price quotes up to Doug though, since it's his business....
And definitely post up a pic or two, K5's are always sweet.

I totally forgot earlier. If you're serious about inquiring a price for parts/labor you'll want to PM, email, or call Doug. He doesn't like to, and won't talk about anything on the business-side of things publically on the forums. His s/n to PM is - low_blazerEmail - sales@streetissuecustoms.com Phone - 360-286-6442 |

Nice man! I saw that on craigslist a little while ago. Are you the one who was trying to sell it, or the one who bought it? I would love to have that thing if I didn't have 2 trucks already, lol.

I can't believe you got crappy offers on that! I would've paid what you were asking if my Nissan sold. Then I would've done to it exactly what you're trying to do now. You should definitely try to bring that by this Saturday sometime.
I'm not sure if Doug's neighborhood has a name, but he's behind the middle school pool on Rudolph Loop.

Yeah, I'm in Austerbruin, just next to Deer Run.... You should be able to work with that frame no problem. The fronts of those things are easy...the rear, I haven't been under one in a while. but it shouldn't be too bad. Definately swing up Saturday if you can, you can check out all the other retarded crap we do  |

Yeah, I stay busy there..lol...stupid ass store. Oh well...pays the bills.
I'm an authorized dealer for KP...I've used a ton of their stuff, really nice products. I don't know off hand if their 73-87 kit will work on the K5, I don't remember if the frame is the same as the shorbox or not...
