This truck could still be going dependably long after new, modern, computer controlled trucks are in the junkyard. This is an example of a simple, strong truck that GM will not build now.

Sharp rig. I’m about 20 minutes from Greenwood on the Oklahoma side. My college roommate is from there. Don’t know what it is but I’ve found a ton of square parts there lol.

Solid truck!! Tons of potential!!

Yo that bad boy is proper. Nice and simple with the old school look. Too many Ks out there with the 22x14 rims on them now. I dig It g.

I'm gonna buy this lift kit your Truck Looks Baddass.

I’ve had several squarebodies in the past. My first was an 85 3/4 ton on 37s and then I had a 86 3/4 ton on 35s. I got rid of them and after a couple years I decided to get a new one. I bought a 87 k10 LWB in January and I found your truck on custom offsets. I pretty much based my build off yours cause it was the only I could find I liked. I didn’t wanna go 12 wides so I did 15x10s. I also don’t like the rake that the rough country lift came with so instead of full springs in the rear I bought 3 inch blocks separate. It leans a little more than I would prefer but it has a mean stance. I also went with wheel spacers in the rear. But anyways, it’s awesome I found your truck on here. And I love it man. Lol I’m also running different tires. I didn’t wanna copy yours out right lol.

Nice color

Sickest truck I’ve ever seen

Thank you for that because I just picked up a k5 with a little wear and fear on it and I was wondering if I should fix it up or leave it

I swear I seen this truck on FB marketplace. Good lookin truck.

Sick truck bro. Wish i could have one. I cant afford it. Lol. Not anymore anyway.

Great video now i know how much lift to put on my 76 k10 👍👍👍

gorgeous man

Hey nice truck man!! I have a silver 84 Scottsdale K 20 and I just love it. 😉😁👍🏻

Bad ass truck!

Pretty nice truck i got a 86 chevy k10 been working on it a few years its about to be back on the rd soon till i do the 4speed swap

Good looking truck. Everytime I lift these I always get these wedge speakers for the rear axle to fix pinion angle so it’s pointing straight towards the transfer case..... that’s just me bc I always tow and stuff

nice standard shift i like them

Nice truck I have an 85 c10 Chevy Scottsdale

I just bought my K10 the other day. Hope all goes well

Badass

VERY NICE TRUCK, I JUST GOT A 84 4X4 465-4 SPEED FROM MONTANA. NICE BODY, BUT IT'S THAT BROWN COLOR WITH WHITE ON THE BOTTOM. I WISH MINE LOOKED THAT GOOD.

Would you happen to know back spacing or any specific info on the wheels ? Killer truck 👍🤘🇺🇸

My k10 has an actual measured 4” lift and this is definitely taller. I think these RC springs are closer to 6” lift lol. Looks great

I have a K20 and was thinking of putting on the same Rough Country 4" lift with 35's. But first I want to know if I can still get it in the garage. What is the height clearance for your truck with this lift and the 35's you got on her? I could really use your help, thanks. Does she fit in your garage? My garage has a 7 foot clearance (6 ft 10 inches to be more precise).

Did you need to install the sway bay mount drop brackets with the 4" lift?

What back spacing do the wheels have ?

i had a 76 chevy step side short bed with a 454 big block the only thing that wasn't rusty was the hood got 8 miles to the gallon but it was a monster all ways started and just power up the ass would spin the tires flat 60 series all it needed was a body jack the hood up and roll another body under LOL

when you add the lift you didnt need a longer drive shaft?

I have exactly the same lift but I also have a 3in body. Do you think I could run 37s I originally was going to get the TSl bogges 35x14.50r15 but idk now. I don’t want my tires to look to small on the truck I’m also running Mickey Thompson 15x12. I want to stick to a TSl tire ik they have some 36s available.

You have a 4 inch lift? I’m deciding weather to get a 6 inch lift or a 4 with 37’s or 35’s but I want this look in the video, does your truck look this tall or do you think this inch in the video is more of a 6 inch ?

no spacers up front just a 1.5 inch spacers in the rears to flush up the track width. You really actually would need a 2 inch spacer but 1.5 is sufficient. hope that helps!
