Sweet wheels!

[CanadianK10]

Thanks! I've always wanted some slot mags and had to jump on this set, they've cleaned up really nice.

[CanadianK10]

Got some promising progress today on the truck, bed is painted and fuel filler inside the bed is fabbed up.

Shouldn't be long now til I have it back

[Kennuck]

Looking good, keep the pics coming.

[msgross]

I have some slotted mags for mine, just not sure what I want to run...

[CanadianK10]

Got some pictures of the cab the other day, hoping its primed this week. Will get some better photos when I go out to check on it.

Looking good man!

[CanadianK10]

Thanks for the support everyone, hoping the rest of the truck is in primer by the end of the week. To pass the time I've been trying to decide between white headlight trim or stainless, I have a set of each so I can try both.

Looking forward to getting it back and getting to having some projects to work on. First big one is figuring out why the gas gauge won't work. I also bought some brand new 90's
Dodge Dakota door weatherstripping to try out as well.

[CanadianK10]

Went out and got some updates pictures this week with some white headlight housings that will match the roof and wheels. Fuel filler is filled in nice and truck should be in primer soon. I took a picture of the housing beside the bed to get an idea of how the final combo will look.

Nice progress! I've always like the red/white 67 paint combo... Wish I could do it on my truck!

[2000Limited]

Lift kits for 67/68's aren't available right off the shelf. The springs aren't the same length as others. I added longer shackles in the front and an Add-a-leaf in the back of mine. I might also go with a zero rate spring if I want another inch.

Thanks for the information, I've seen 1967 K10 listed on the Skyjacker website but I now see the part #'s are the same that are listed for a 1969 K10. How much did you lift your 68? I'm mainly just doing this because I'd like a little more height on the front anyways.

Thanks

I already had the HD front suspoension (1 extra leaf) and the shackle only helped 1" at the most, the rear is 1.5" without a bed on it... very stiff though.

Just make sure that you measure the leaf length in the front, I think the rear springs are longer than 69 and up. You can use blocks there though.

Thanks for the info, when I get the truck back I may look into a zero rate leaf block or an add-a-leaf for the front
