I can't say enough nice things about your truck, including the wheel/tire setup. It's exactly what I would want in a K1500! lucky you!

Are you running the wider late 71-72 rear end?

Yes, it has the original 72 rear end in it. I have a narrower 68 rear that I might swap later to get the tires in slightly more, but i don't have any issues with this one.

Cool,I am up in the air on which rear end to order I’m running a 7 inch drop in rear and want the wheels out as far as possible without hurting my bed

So 6” drop would be ok but a 7” I’d probably need the narrower rear
