do all k5s come with locking hubs? confused
I'm new to k5 4x4s.I've had a 2wd. It sounds like a dumb question but I'm trying to find a k5 that I can put 20" wheels with 37" tires. The locking huns stick out tho....someone educate me or guide me. I've searched with no luck.

All of the 67-87 4x4 will have a hub that sticks out like lockouts even the auto locking hubs and full time 4x4 trucks had a hub that stuck out. I have seen a couple 80s chevy pickups that are running 20" wheels with their hubs so the wheels are made just not sure what brand or where to find them.

I sure wish I. Knew what wheels to search for. I guess any wheel that has a big center cap such as most mickey thompson wheels. Maybe if I called them then they would know if they would fit. I do know that kmc rockstars and wheels like that would not work. Someone has to have a good idea on this thread.

If you want a 4x4 from GM that doesn't have a locking hub sticking out through the wheel would be an 88 and later IFS truck. 20"s on a solid axle truck just seems silly to me, but thats my opinion.

Re: do all k5s come with locking hubs? confused
my 88 Blazer has automatic hubs. My 91 has locking hubs. Either way, you're going to have something sticking through the center hole in the rim.
Half ton axles won't live long with 37s. I agree with the above post. 20s look great on more modern trucks and SUVs, big wheels look stupid on older vehicles IMO.
