68 K-10 before and after pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLAZERMAN · 07-07-2003, 09:22 PM

Just finished lifting the 68 with Skyjacker 2-1/2 front springs and ORD heavy duty greasable shackles, went with 33x9.00x15 Kelly Springfield all terrains on 6" stock steel rims and hub caps. I'm not sure if I should have went with chrome bumpers or not but I thought the white would help set it off with the white rims.

Man that 68 is sharp! The Blazer looks really good too! Nice stable you got there........

I cannot believe what a difference that made. It even makes your driveway look bigger and paved.

JJk10 · 07-07-2003, 10:35 PM

I like it. looks great..they both look great.

1969 GMC · 07-07-2003, 11:47 PM

that looks darn nice! i'm glad you kept the white bumper, it looks good with the grille and the rims.

*Gee_Emm* · 07-07-2003, 11:57 PM

I would have never of guessed it was a 4x4 in the before pics, it sure sat low, my 2x4 Jimmy sits higher :p

cheyenne10 · 07-08-2003, 01:11 AM

What did you use for rear leafs and can you share your source and price for springs and shocks?

Thanks.

**Joesjunk** · 07-08-2003, 01:23 AM

Rob, Looks great. I am glad that truck went to a good home.

**JIMs70GMC** · 07-08-2003, 08:05 AM

Looks great! A little altitude always helps.

*Randy70C-10* · 07-08-2003, 08:58 AM

Bram · 07-08-2003, 10:51 AM

casey · 07-08-2003, 06:18 PM

that is one sharp truck one of my favorites

Blunova · 07-08-2003, 10:04 PM

My Gpa's favorite color keep it like it is

**PICKMUP** · 07-08-2003, 10:22 PM

That's really nice. With all of the trim on the grill and sides & chrome hubcaps, I would like to see what it would look like with chrome bumpers.

BLAZERMAN · 07-08-2003, 10:26 PM

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I guess I'll keep the bumpers white, now if I can only find a set of buper guards for it.

cheyenne10, I went with 2-1/2" blocks in the rear and the shocks are Skyjacker nitro cells, the ride is very good. I will have to modify the exhuast to clear the front driveshaft, I should have had this done a little sooner but once I got into it I ended up replacing the upper and lower ball studs along with all new wheel bearings, tie rod ends, drag link, axle u joints, rotors ca;ipers and wheel studs front and rear, not that it really neede all of that but it seemed like the time to do it.

BLAZERMAN · 07-08-2003, 10:32 PM

PICKMUP, that was my biggest debate, whether to go with painted or chrome, I still may slap a chrome front bumper on it just to see what its like, I plan on going with the stainless windshield trim and chrome vent wings eventually.
