It's looking good.What size are the BFG's,35s?

**BAD4X4** · 05-07-2007, 12:07 AM

35's with custom 10" wide ralleys.

jeffspower · 05-07-2007, 12:12 AM

4" lift? Also, who widened your ralleys? I want to do it with a 8 lug set I have. But I'm cheap

jaros44, Willamette Wheel went out of business a few years back. The only place that I know that still does that kind of work is Stockton Wheel in California. I got a quote for them to make my rally wheels into 16x10's. They wanted $225 a piece to do it. I am sure that just widening would be less though.

Here is their widening link.

6" superlift and willamette wheel, years ago. Just getting around to useing them.

jaros44sr · 05-07-2007, 06:06 AM

That looks perfect!! Like the idea on widening the wheels...

**Yukon Jack** · 05-07-2007, 11:14 AM

Very nice K5!

chrisvuc · 05-07-2007, 02:26 PM

thanks,
chris vuckovic

bouncytruck · 05-07-2007, 04:02 PM

Looks great. Are those the same wheels that used to be on my rig? What are you running for gears?

SeventyOne · 05-08-2007, 03:42 PM

get any problems running the clear taillights?

**BAD4X4** · 05-08-2007, 08:14 AM

Sorry bouncy forgot about the gears, I'm running 3:73 gears.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-08-2007, 09:28 PM

hope ya got leds behing those clear tails.... no problem here in southern oregon wioth em.. Looks great btw..

slogo · 05-08-2007, 10:16 PM

cleean!

**BAD4X4** · 05-08-2007, 11:05 PM

French always running LED's, no problem with clear at all. Thanx Dana

1969k10stepside · 05-08-2007, 11:14 PM

With the 3:73s and 35s how does it pull?Does it seem underpowered?I have 3:73s and 35s on my 71 but it hasnt seen the road since both axles were rebuilt with different gears and it went to 35s so I was wondering if it does good with that combo or if I should get some lower gears.Of course the far from stock motor may help some as to comparing it to one with a stock motor...but with your 500 hp shortbed I don't know what to expect motor wise from the K/5

**BAD4X4** · 05-08-2007, 11:41 PM

The motor in the K5 is a mild built small block. I would love to put 4:10 gears in the blaze but it would pass everythimg but a gas station. The 3:73 gears are a good all-around gear. Good on the hwy and fuel. If your gonna hot rod and pull all the time I would go to 4:10's. Hope this helps.

**special-K** · 05-09-2007, 06:56 AM

Just popping in to say it`s looking good.I like modified factory parts(wheels).

oldraven · 05-09-2007, 04:00 PM

Beautiful!!!

86's just don't carry that blue as well.
