Hi guys, got a 1976 chevy k10, want to turn it into a mud truck till i can put it on the road, wondering with no lift at all how big tires i can fit in my wheel wells, the truck's front leaf springs are bend the opposite way due to 20 years of being a plow truck. Also wondering (for when i lift it) ive been looking at a shackle flip for the back, what is the best method to remove the factory rivets? and do i just torque some bolts with loctite after? And in maine we are allowed 24 in. Max frameheight for a half ton k10 like mine, and im at 14 inches right now, so there is 10 inches to lift, how much of a lift do i get? and would it be illegal to throw on bigger tires after inspection? I'd like to jack it up the highest i can for it being on/off road. Also what boggers do you guys prefer on your trucks? and where do you guys buy your sheetmetal from, ive looked at ebay, lmc, brothers, all of that but ive heard AMD is the best quality but they don't have too good of a selection anywhere.
