He is a member here but barely ever posts ... cant remember his board name. Sorry Buddy =)
Man that paint looks a lot like mine did...once...

To compare with my BDS 4" lift and ORD shackles which add 1/2" and 33" BFG's

Little bit of a hijack ... He is totally going through the whole truck and eventually I believe it will be black. He's very good at this sort of thing so the truck should be pretty amazing when he's done.

Re: Pics of your 2 inch ez ride tuff country lift? 67-72 k20 long box

I have the 2" EZ ride on my 67 K20. I spent extra money and ordered Bilstein 5150 shocks from a place called E shocks. I always felt like the truck was too bouncy. Especially the front. Now I'm wondering if it's the shocks?! Maybe I'm gonna try some cheap ones and see if it rides better. SD truck springs is the cheapest place for Tuff Country lifts btw. I searched for a long time and they were the best. Great service as well!

As for the fenders, your right they are 68 or newer. I didn't have much to do with the body of the truck. It was in this shape when I bought it. I just replaced the engine, trans, and axles with more modern stuff. I did have it painted though. It's a bit lighter green than it was when I bought it and it's growing on me I guess. I ran the vin after I bought it and found the cab was originally a 2 wheel drive 6cyl. And I know the frame is at least a 70 or newer. But the axles were original. So it's kind of a Frankenstein model. lol

Beautiful looking truck. BTW, what's the "For Sale" sign for? The truck or the property? Lol.

The tire size is 265/70R17. That was a house I had for sale, I couldn't afford to sell the truck! lol I have too much time and money invested I would never get back. It's got a Corvette LS1, built 4l60, and a bunch of other stuff. And I'm always in trouble with my wife!
