Re: New rig. 85 K10
Sweet deal, nice looking truck. Needs some Ralleys and 33's IMO, though.

Re: New rig. 85 K10
lol my brother said 33's and a lift. I was thinkin 33's, 5 hole slotted mags, and a 4'' lift, but I'll probably put a set of RHS vortec heads on it first before anything else, maybe a larger cam at the same time.

Re: New rig. 85 K10
I like the truck very nice but if it were me id leave the hieght alone and just put 33 under it. or 30 anything what ever fits. IM about to put 31 under a 2wd 1986 it alot of rubber but fill the hole when your rimes a re stock 15 in rally wheels.

Re: New rig. 85 K10
lol its got 235/75r15's basically 28.9" tall. Its gonna need tires this fall so I'm thinkin just put 31's on it and leave it alone. I'm more into motor drivetrain stuff anyways. Would like to put a set a vortecs on it but we will see. Don't wanna break the trans or the axles lol. Going from a C20 with a sm465 and a 14bolt to this I feel like I'm gonna break something lol. oh and looking to get GEARHD on the license plate lol.

Re: New rig. 85 K10
10 bolt or 12 bolt? and you've got a sm465 lol. I wouldn't be afraid to dump it in reverse with that. Don't know much about 700r4.. never really cared cause I seen to many break but I've heard something about different years have different spline counts? I've seen 700r4's hold power but seen more break. Guess I'm stick biased but couldn't find a decent 4wd manual truck.
