62 K10 frame sees the light of day
I finally bought tires; I just couldn't resist pushing it outside and washing the dust off. It's getting very hard to find American made 235/75R-15's in a black wall these are Firestone AT's... So so much work to do......

That looks great

Do you happen to have part numbers for the shocks you used?

On the front I used Rancho RS5008 and the rear RS5114. I'm a little worried about the length of the rear shocks, as it sits they're almost extended to the max.. I hope after the cab and bed areinstalled Things will work out. I'm not planning on any off roading..

Yes I replaced pins and bushings friont and rear. I also replaced the shackles on the front. The front end rear spring mount bushings were really tough. I was afraid the rear springs would be hard but they came right apart. The shop manual says to use a slide hammer to remove the pins; but I used a brass drift and drove them inwards. I'm glad I replaced everything it really snugged up the suspension... I also replaced a couple of broken leaf springs..
