Re: lifting a 67 k10

If you check my build thread (link below) you will see that I went for a 1982 front axle to gain disc brakes. I had a hard time when looking into the lift. The rear springs are different length than the newer 69 and up trucks.

The ORD or DIY shackle flip would be good for the rear, and an add-a-leaf or zero-rate spring will help. It is more difficult to add the power steering due to the frame area where the box bolts to. You will have to modify it or "dimple" the frame for it to work.... it's all possible just take your time and do it all right.... don't cut corners in any truck building (unless you like bondo I guess) since safety is very important....

Good luck and add some pics of your ride. not many SWB K-10's out there from 67 and 68....
