255/60R15 all around (wanted to be able to rotate them).

2-1/2" Western Chassis drop spindles + 1" front drop springs from GMCPauls.

6" Western Chassis WC60C10R6 drop springs in the rear & 2-degree axle shims that might add another 1/4" or so of drop.

Looks great IMO. Did you have to C-notch for the 6 in springs? How does it ride?

I'm not sure but that might be my old truck. It had a 70 nose on it when i had it if it is the same truck.

Going to put 15x8 steelies with 31x10.5 tires on my truck. They will be painted white. Not sure if I’ll go chrome or painted caps.

Every time I think about new, bigger diameter wheels...I go back to...Why? What I have just seems to be right.

As it turns out, with (4) previous classics, the only one I moved from stock 15" was my '78 Trans Am. I put 17'' wheels on that one but, I already had them and the snowflakes needed to be refinished.

Yes sir! Currently running stock 15x6 5 lug steelies and 235 75 tires, using 2” drop blocks in the rear to level it out. Haven’t had any luck finding a decent K truck so going to lift this one. Was originally going to use 4” lift spindles for an 88-98 and flip the rear axle under the trailing arms, but not sure that will be enough for the front, so I may get diy 4x hangers and just put a leaf sprung Dana 44 up front. If I go that route I may swap out the trailing arms out back and opt for leafs all the way around for continuity. Would be a lot easier if this were a short bed truck then I’d lower it 3/5 and call it a day lol.
