    Rim fitment for 1978 K20

    Looking into getting new rims. The originals are 16.5 so I have the option of going up to 17 or down to 16. It looked like there wouldn't be any room to get smaller wheels because of the brake calipers so seems like 17 is my only option, but also I don't know much about offset and backspacing...

    Bearing and race

    So I’m rebuilding the hub assembly on my 78 K20 and I only have until Friday. My AutoZone order keeps getting pushed back and I don’t think I’ll be able to finish by then. I’ve already installed my races (those were in stock) now waiting for my bearings to ship. But I’m wondering if I can just...

    Steering slop

    Ok so I just finished putting in a new red head steering gear, tie rod, drag link, power steering pump on my 78 K20. The slop in the wheel was pretty bad before, and I think it’s better now? But it’s still nowhere near as good as a modern car. Wondering if that’s just always how it’s gonna be...

    What size tires for 4 inch lift?

    I have this 1978 K20 on 33s and I believe it’s stock height. Thinking of putting a 4 inch lift on it (if I’m going to lift it, seems like anything less than 4 wouldn’t be worth it). Should I stay with the 33s or would they look too small and should I go with 35s? Also what brand would you...
