I think a 4" is great on any vehicle. What are you going to be mainly using the truck for light offroading, heavy offroading, street driving. I think its a great all around middle of the road lift. Sorry no pics check out the 4x4 pic section at the top of this forum.

I agree that a 4" lift is a great lift size. Modifications are kept to a minimum generally. BUT, your talking 1967 and that is different from the more simple to lift 69-72 years. There are a number of threads that address issues specific to the 1967 within about the last 4 months. If you can't find them, let me know and I will try to locate them for you. They will be a source of very good info for you.

Put a set of 33"s on your truck and you will have a nice appearance, but your tire won't be as heavy as a 35" so your mileage won't be as affected, and a little less wear on parts. These are bricks on wheels of course so realize a lift will affect your mileage if that is a concern.

welcome, i'm building a 68 K-10 but opted for an add-a-leaf in the rear 1.5" lift and run 33 x 10.5

Might want to look into a new front axle to get power steering and disc brakes... all solid chevy axles will bolt up...this pic was stock with those tires...
