Rupert, Idaho. And I’m in the process of putting a 6 lug 14 bolt semi float rear axle in my 86 k10. It’s going to be on a 6” lift and 37x14.50 on 15x14 Bart wheels. Going to make a good mud truck just a slow process.
I wouldn't be able to walk for a few days if I tried that. They look great. Can't wait to see the fenders all trimmed out. That is one tall truck. Great job. Keep having fun. We use liquid instead of beads for the RV tires.
Right on man I feel you with the back workout beadlocks take for ever to do but the look and work amazing, so happy for you that the truck is on the rims and tires now looks great
@Poots Garage true but look how long you have been working on this truck with a vision of how it will look ....and now you can open the garage door and enjoy the view , can't wait for the next videos
Tallassee Alabama. My last rock crawler was a K5 with M1008 axles, 6 inches of suspension lift, 2 inches of body lift, and 44 inch TSL's. It did require quite a bit of fender clearancing with the sawzall. Truck worked awesome on the trails. I ran a 454 on propane with a th400/203 range box/205 doubler setup. Being able to do a front only dig to bring the front end around can be a huge advantage on the trail.
I’m from Littlefield Texas, and just recently moved to Conifer Colorado, I have an 86 M1008 as and a 84 K20, I hope to swap the axles into the k20, I like the content you are putting out
Mine is on a 5 or 6 inch lift and on worn out 38.5s the previous owner did already trim the front fenders I’m curious to see if I can put 39.5s on it with the 15s it’s just a somewhat daily now not seeing much off-road mostly a “truck use” truck
Looks killer. I’m doing 5” lift on my 87 suburban right right now. But I went with the tension shackles instead of the shackle flip. I’ll probably stick to a 37” or smaller, I don’t want to cut my fenders if I don’t have to. When you ordered your springs, did you do stock location? Your fitment seems to be pushed forward on the front axle a bit. I ordered 1” forward for the front springs and 1” back for the rear on mine. I have a 6.2ls, 6L80E, NP205 and one ton axles I’m swapping in also.
Hey bring it down to Lahontan and test it in the sand. I do off-road recoveries locally I'll bring the deuce out to keep you outta trouble haha oh and pin silver springs 😂
What gears are you running for the 40s? Would mine be ok with 4.56 and 40s kind of a daily drive won’t see dirt but occasionally it’s already trimmed up for 38.5s 5.3 ls slight cam turbo 400 transmission and np208 t case and 14 bolt rear Dana 60 front
@@peytonmathis7460 mine is 4:56’s too. It actually drives real good around town and cruises at freeway speeds. I’d prefer lower gears for off-road, but my granny gear transmission makes up for it.
@@PootsGarage I’m really debating going to 40s just for the heck of it I gotta get tires anyways and my axles need rebuilt as well so I’m also debating going to. 37s and 4.10 but not really sure which way I want to go, 40s + axle seals and leave gears = badass looking truck and still practical but probably would need to trim more. Or 37s + 4.10 gears = no cutting still looks badass just not as much and still be more practical. Both would probably come out about the same price so I dunno
I have a feeling that those tires are way to big.I have been restoring these Square Body trucks for over 35 years and had every tire size known to man.37 13.50 on 17 in wheels seem to be about perfect with minimal Body trimming. I Always trim the front fenders below the side marker lights.Come up 4 inches from the bottom of the fender and slice.This is just my 2 cents worth.Oh yea now it won't get through the garage door.
The tires & wheels look GREAT! Can’t wait to see how it looks after trimming. THANKS for including pics of my junk too!
Thankyou!
Wow man that thing looks KILLER with the wheels & tires installed!! 😜😜😜🤘🏻
Thanks!
