Things not going as planned is defitinely something that we all deal with. Every little change i make seems to effect something else. Oh well, it is all good, and your K5 is looking awesome!!

At this rate you'll be drivin' it by next spring.
Looks awesome, keep going.

bouncytruck · 12-04-2004, 06:22 PM

Looks good. What's wrong with the fenders? Are you going to get it painted before completely assembling it?

tim_and_bobbi_blazer · 12-04-2004, 06:23 PM

Basic black goes with everything. Your truck is looking awesome.

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-04-2004, 06:34 PM

VT - I'M KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED FOR SPRING

BOUNCY - THEY ARE 67-68, EVERYTHING ELSE IS 71-72

(JUST DOING A FULL MOCK UP FOR PAINT ESTIMATES & ALIGNMENT)

TIM & BOBBI - CAN'T TAKE ALL THE CREDIT, BUT IT'S GET'N THERE

bouncytruck · 12-04-2004, 06:48 PM

What is the final color you are going to paint the truck? The black looks awesome and it is definately straight enough for black.

I may have to re-think tire sizes for my '72. I was thinking about going with 33's, but all these new 35's on ralleys are looking sweet.

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-04-2004, 06:55 PM

MY FINAL COLOR IS A BIG, BIG SECRET

J/K - PPG TRIPLE BLACK, SEATS ARE BLK / WHT HOUNDSTOOTH, TOP IS
BEING RESTORED TO WHT, MAYBE A WHT YENKO STRIP DOWN THE SIDE,
BUT NO HOOD STRIPES / TAIL STRIPES. (CST TAIL BAND & COWL HOOD)

TIRES ARE 35 X 12.5 X 15 BFG ON 15 X 8 RALLY'S, HERE IS THE WEIRD
PART, LIFT KIT IS 4" IN THE FRONT AND 6" IN THE REAR. (ALL SPRINGS)

A few 72's · 12-04-2004, 11:04 PM

Looking good.
From the pic's I can also see that you got your doors lined up.

That is actually fairly common to go with more lift in the rear. These trucks tend to have a squatty-butt. My '72 has 4" all the way around (spring front, helper springs and blocks rear) and it sits down in back a little.
