New from Knoxville TN

[yeol1]

Hey guys I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to join.
I have a 79 K10 with a 10bolt/12bolt, 350/sm465/np205. I am the 3rd owner of this truck, I bought it from my father in law at the suggestion of my wife. Before you ask yes she kind of does regret that decision.
The main use for the truck is for off roaring here in east TN. The suspension is stock with 32x11.5x15 tires.
The rest of the truck is mainly stock, I do have a Holley intake and 4 barrel carb and a set of headers that where all on the truck when I got it. I have spent most of my time fixing problems that come with a 35 year old vehicle that sat for a couple years. Full head and valve job, new hoses, redid the entire fuel system, New battery tray, New radiator, and all new ball joints, ujoints, calipers, brake pads, new dizzy. Im sure I'm forgetting something but it definitely has been a learning experience.
Now the truck runs like a top and the steering is great.
The plan now is too do an axle swap, Bob the bed, boat side, and dove tail the bed and trim fenders to fit some skinny 35s.

Thanks I originally bought them for my 96 Tacoma but I got rid of it and had these wheels with tires sitting. When I went to pick the truck up from my father in law it was sitting on 4 flat bald tires and 2 of them where slashed, so on these wheels and tires went. I still have the original rallies that I haven't decided if I want to run or not with 35s

Are they 6 lug?

Yes they are. Still got the center caps and beauty rings.

I'd be interested in your current wheels if you decide to go back to rallies.

I'll warn you it will be a while. The wife and I are expecting our 2nd child in a couple of weeks, so money for tires doesn't exist. I will keep you in mind though when the time comes.

 

[Skweegle89]

That's cool just keep it in the back of your mind. I'm in the same boat.

Thanks. I've actually had people ask if I was from New York.
