I just bought a 97 k2500 Light Duty 2wd for $800. 167000 miles, no rust\Florida truck, interior probably 8.5 out of 10 and exterior probably 8.5 out of 10. Just normal dings or wear but no dents. Everything works and it drives perfect and shifts. The only thing Is the water pump has a leak. I bought it with the intentions of selling it for a profit ,but I found myself in love with this truck. I was offered $2500 , but found myself not wanting to let her go. So I kept her and now plan on doing some mild upgrades. Something about driving this simple and comfortable truck. Anyways let me stop blabbering.

Man I think you just helped me with my whole ordeal, how to hold rust in the one of my manifolds and so I went ahead and bought headers to replace them. Went to a shop first though and they said it was going to be about $500 in 3 days before I got it back, I don't know if that's standard pricing or what but that's a little out of my budget lol

I have an 89 model with TBI and the EGR is on the back of the throttle body, but it’s not connected to the manifold so luckily don’t have to mess with that. But there is a bracket coming off the power steering pump that goes to the manifold... I may have to cut a little, but I’ll be at it soon
