I've been working on square bodies for most of my life, but just now got into 4x4's. I got me a '77 K10. I'll get pics up as soon as I can. It has 6" procomp lift springs in the front with 6" blocks in the rear as well as a 3" body lift. It currently is sitting on 40" Super Swampers. I just dropped in an 010 4 bolt 350 from a 77 K5 Blazer. I put new rings, bearings, and all new gaskets. It has a Performer intake with matching Performer 1406 600cfm carb. some cheapo headers, and supercoil with some nice wires to NGK plugs. The movement comes from a TH350 paired with a 203 TCase that routes through a 12 bolt rear and dana44 front that are filled with 3.73's that I was told was locked in the rear and open in the front. It does have dual tanks with rock guards and an 8ft bed with show bar.

I am planning on doing a shackle flip in the rear with 63" springs and a longer shackle to get rid of the blocks as well as to get the rear end back level with the front end. I also plan on ditching the ProComp fronts with some 54" springs and relocating the hangers. The thing rides worse than a tank and I don't really want to scramble my daughters brains just cruising the rivers down here in SE Kansas. It also has some wierd front shock hoops that house 2 in the hoop and a third behind the axle about 9" lower than the other two on each front wheel, as well as dual shocks in the rear in a V shape. 1 in front of the axle, and 1 behind the axle. Also has dual steering stabalizers. All are Ranch 5000's. What do you guys think about this?

Oh, and here is a pic of my daughter Chevelle.

And just for a size comparison, I am 6'5". LOL

Welcome aboard brother, great intro and pics, they are both beauties.

You got me beat by 4 inches high and I got you beat 30 or 40 pounds probably lol!!

I would eliminate the quad shock front setup/hoops, it will probably ride a ton better and you'll have a spare set of shocks! Never heard of 54" springs, I've heard of 52s, 56s and 64s. I have regular 48" lift springs up front, 56s out back and a set of regular ole cheapy pro comp shocks and it rides pretty good. The bench seat makes the worst part of the ride, intend to go with bucket seats sometime down the line. Welcome to the forum!!

Welcome!

I think some older Furds had 54 inch springs.

 

[my2000tl]

Well. I meant 52. Lol. I had a customer come up while I was typing.

Welcome to GMSB. Gotta love the newbs that come in with pics !!! Great Project too. How can you go wrong with a guy who names his kids after Classic Chevys? Any plans for a little Malibu or Nova anytime soon???

 

[my2000tl]

Siberian husky of mine is named Malibu, my son is named Boyd Coddington.

I'da never guessed. Imagine that. So how about a little Nova or Camaro anytime soon??? There was a good chance if my daughter had been a son, he'd have been name Chevy. Figured why not, there is a Chevy Chase. But she was a girl. BUT, she did have a big bowtie from a 67 Chevy truck mounted on the front of her walker that was in the shape of a car. I'd love to find those pics someday and get them posted.

We have a cat named Camaro, the car names haven't went beyond that. I feel like less of a car guy now, lol.

 

[my2000tl]

LMFAO, I just have very understanding baby mamma's. HAHA. I gotta get my daughter's bed done so I can send you pics. Its made from parts of a 1970 Chevelle SS.
