      Why do that when I can do a shackle flip and get an all spring lift?
      Blocks also can cause axle wrap and blocks are not the proper way to lift a truck.

      B52s are you talking about putting rear 52" springs in the front?

        Yea if I remember tight it'll give you about 4inches or so. Also for the shavkle flip I have all he brackets off a 76 frame if you think you can use a stock front rear leaf shackle

              I might just find out how much this is.

              http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/4inchliftsystem.htm

              Everything for a 4in lift, including front springs, shackle flip, u bolts ect.

              Seems with a 4in lift (possibly the zero rate 1" blocks to adjust the axles) you can fit a 35 without trimming long as you aren't doing super hardcore offroading. I don't want to do offroading in which I might flip the truck so I think I could get away with 35s and no trimming.

                  Nice Project! I never had a K5, but I've had a C10, K10, and K20 of similar vintage. There great trucks. Good Luck.

                        New pics were edited in the original post and the truck looks like its in great shape ! I think your right in not making it too large. They reach a point when they just arent fun to try to get in or drive

                          Yeah I had trucks that have like 12in lift and on like 44s.

                          I want to do some wheeling but I don't wanna do crap that I'm afraid I'm gonna roll the truck over.

                              Its sitting in the garage? Haha.

                              Waiting for a 6 point roll cage to be installed and 5 point harnesses. Nitrous Kit sitting in the basement too.

                              First thing is going to be do a brake job and get rid of the edlebrock carb and put a rochester quadrajet back on.
                              Then drive it around and fix the mechanical stuff on it.

                                Looks pretty clean!

                                How are the body mount perches? Mine looked ok, next thing I know one cracked and I couldn't close the driver door anymore. Pulled the front clip off and found the side of the firewall rotted out. Luckily I only lost $150 on that whole ordeal.

                                I had the shackle flip kit and 56" rear springs that I wanted to put on. Would have make a nice ride if I didn't find so much rot

                                Side note - I have some bearings and seals for the front axle if you want a deal on them. Timken 471271 (x2) and Timken Set 45 (x2)
