67-72 suspension difference 4X4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Why is it most every lift I've seen is for a 69-72? I just bought a 67 K10 and started searching. Is this just a misprint or is there a big difference.

Thanks

Wish I could be more help,but there is a difference.I can't remember if it is the lenth or the width of the spring.

Just did some checking,the front springs are the same,67-72.The rear is different.You can use blocks or add-a leaf for smaller lift,or redo the spring mounts.

It probably has to do with the different spring hangers used in 67-68.

Try posting this in the 4x4 section. There are a bunch of guys on here with 67-68 lifted 4x4's. Try sending a pm to pont he has a very nice lifted 67.

By the way how do you like Wyotech?

Just got back from our down week.

Tech is ok, not exactly like I was told it would be. They've grown too fast, place is packed. Most classes are filled till late 05 early 06. And a few good teachers have quit in the last few months.

Ya I wasn't very happy with the program down here in Sacramento either.
