I think perfect sheet metal on a 4x4 that is actually built to be driven is way overrated...low & big tires looks wicked!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4

Wow jdeere, I have a 6" lift with 35's and there isn't a lot of room left, you must have done a bit of cutting, all I know is it looks cool. Mylast truck had 38.5's thes 35's are making me itchy for more after seing yours.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4

Here's my '83 K10 shortbox 4x4 I picked up a couple of weeks ago. It's got a 350/700R4, color matched ralleys, warn lock outs, wrapped in 31.5 BFG's with a slight lift. I got it for a hunting rig, but been driving it everyday since I bought it. It rides like a dang truck, but hey, it's not my accord either! The Honda is sitting in the garage while I'm riding high in my K10 during these North Dakota winters! It's yellow, has some rust but the body is pretty straight for a 30 year old truck. It's not perfect I don't care, it's a tank and it's unique where I live!

In the last week I did the following:

New valve cover rubber gaskets, new transmission filter kit, new tranny fluid, new plugs, new vacuum advance, tightened distributor cap (it was hand loose), adjusted carb, fixed timing, had shop install new 2 1/2 dual exhaust with magnaflow glasspacks and 4" stainless steal tips, new manifold gaskets and donuts, took off running boards and clear old school square style bug shield....

In the near future I plan on...

Purchasing a bull bar with KC lights, taking off Leer Mach topper (I'm going to try and sell it) and installing triple chrome roll bars with KC lights, chrome step up bars, chrome grab bars, tinting windows, chrome fender flares, chrome rocker panels, mud flaps, smoked head light covers, smoked vent window shades, smoked bug shield, any one have these parts for sale???

Should I replaced the factory painted rallys for some other rims? I would need some 15" to fit my new BFG KO's.

Thanks for looking.

I can't lie 60-66 are my all time favorite trucks. I use to have a 64 chevy fleetside shorty. That was the truck that started my sickness for 1972 and older chev/gmc pickups! I even got ink of the 64 on my shoulder.

FetchMeAPepsi-

That is one beautiful truck you have there! I would be interested in knowing the lift you have on it also. And what size tires are those?
