Looking for 73-75 Inspiration pics

Looking for lifted 73-75 K5's for a project for the future wife. I talked her out of another Jeep and into a lifted K5, but I have to build it with her. We are looking for the project right now, but it has to be a 73-75 and 4x4.

I'm looking for some pictures of any with 18" or 20" wheels and a 4-6" lift. I would love to see a white one as that will be the color we are painting it (unless she changes her mind at some point).

Re: Looking for 73-75 Inspiration pics

Here's one. Try this one too. Search on member name goochy, he's recently finished one. Also member eighteenninetytwo has a build thread going. There's another I was looking for, guy took a pic of his blue full-vert on the trail, medium blue w/35's, I can't remember his name at the moment though. Search full vert lift combinations and you'll find plenty.

My threas is UNlifting and returing to stock. it did originally have a 5 inch lift and 18 inch wheels. This is how it looked when I got it.

Re: Looking for 73-75 Inspiration pics

As you can see - pretty daft looking. I lowered it and change the wheels - not in that order. First the wheels, then the lowering.

Re: Looking for 73-75 Inspiration pics

Hope this one helps, my son just painted his 77, but this 77 has been cut to look like a 73-75 roof. Here is a pic showing him reinstalling trim.

Soon he's working on getting all the trim back on, so last night he had to pull the front off to get the trim on the fenders

Yes that one does help out a lot. We were thinking white with stock trim, 4-6" lift and now 17 or 18" wheels and 35's. That looks to be one of the closest I have seen so far. Would love to see more pics when it is done! My future wife has to be able to see the vision in order for her to go for it. lol
