Change the BIG wheels, front end and maybe the interior and I'd be all over it :ito::uhmk:

I know I'm one of a few, but I do love those big 22" Nittos on a lifted rig!!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

I'm with you. Thats awesome!

Personally I can't stand it when tires look huge donuts rapped around a brake drum. Right now im trying to decide between 22's with 38's /20's w 38's or 22's w.40's. Anything less then a 20 just isnt an option for me when the tire is over 35".

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

that was featured in a mag. a while back, sport truck i believe. i personally love every bit of it

Those are some great shots of a truck that is all kinds of cool!!!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

awsome truck, is it just me or are the rims in back abit bigger

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

i love the way it looks myself.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

I'm with Joe67, those wheels have to go. Waaay to big and ugly on top of it. A 4x4 is supposed to have some sidewall on it. Otherwise, a beautiful truck indeed!!!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

I like it! Not the interior though, id change that

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

True dat! I never understood the old schoolers hating on the 20's. Get used to it and enjoy what looks good to ya...:metal:

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

That`s a nice truck.
I`m not hatin` the large frail looking rims with less sidewall look.It`s just that it makes no sense on a 4wd.It takes away from the added function added by 4wd.Also,for looks,it takes the classic right out of the picture and doesn`t look as muscular.On a 4wd it`s about the rubber and the wheel is just something to mount the tire on.On the street it`s about the wheels.There`s nice looking wheels for these trucks.But,playin`silly games with wheel diameters has no place off the street.Of course a show 4wd is a street truck more than an offroad one.But,even for looks I like to see what would enhance function in nice form on a 4wd.It doesn`t have anything to do with "schools",unless it`s 2wd school vs 4wd school.There are new style rims made in proper diameters for off road to suit everyone`s taste.Guys that like big rims and air bags don`t like the even larger rim donk cars for various reasons.Both styles are new school and street.I think the difference here is street vs offroad.Some street style just doesn`t carry over for offroad where a level of function is key,for actual use or looks.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

im kinda 50/50 on the rims but i wouldnt have a problem with myself for driving it.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

This has been all over Truckin' mag too!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

I'd take her as is! That truck is HOT!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

Are we sure that is a 72? Looks like the rear view mirror is screwed to the cab roof.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

The truck is awesome...

Why the stereo monitor in the passenger door? Playing the radio from the ground?

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

I don't think the owner was going for a stock look :lol:

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

this is by far one of my favorite trucks

I was waiting FOREVER for them to do a feature on it

its Brandon Gillogys header pic on his page

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

Truck rocks !!!!!!!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

i was thinking the samme but dont 4wd need the same on all corners

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

I guess I am a old fart but I like the factory look. But I really have to appreciate the amount of work that someone put into this truck. I think its awsome its just not my style.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

Nice truck!:metal:
The wheels aren't that bad and if you read the article they are off road tires or half & half really. I think it shows what money can do for one of our trucks. I wish I could send mine out and say here do this to it, don't cut no corners and money isn't a concern send me the bill when done! ;):lol::lol::lol::chevy:

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

To me it looks just like a donk with giant snow tires. BUT... thats just my take :lol:. Build and drive what you love, dont be in the car hobby to please others.

If I saw it at a show I would sure check it out. You can learn a lot from every car and truck you look at.

Some things do "grow" on ya...for me the larger rims (up to 20 in) on our style trucks lowered down look pretty good. I didnt care for it at first.

Overall though I like some sidewall.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

Haha....This is a west coast truck!!! Out here we run JEEPS for 4 wheeling and our trucks are 4x4 to get our boat up the luanch ramp and out toy hauler out of the dunes! You people on the East coast just don't understand! Haha...all fun and jokes.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

to each his own, but i like it!!!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

I want to see it slinging mud all over that shine!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

That's one cool mall crawler. I'd roll it just like it is.

I'm not really a big wheel person, but on a lifted rig running something like 38's or 40's they work pretty well.

True, if it's a rock rig, you need the sidewall. But i'm bettin' that truck ain't never gonna see any rocks.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

OK.... here goes.

I can almost gaurantee that the guys who love those rims are all under 35....right?
I am old.... I dont have the physical strength and endurance I once had. The good side to being old is that you learn some things.
One thing Ive seen over the years is that fads are just that. (graphics, pro-street, southwest colors...) You can tell when the truck or car was built when you build it baseed on the current 'thing'.
To me, if its going to be cool... it has to function. (Go...Turn...Stop...Handle......crawl over rocks or out of mud)

Actually, its a good looking truck. But youd have to prove to me that those rims and tires are going to do something besides sparkle.

Now...Flame Away!:lol:

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

I like it - looks well done to me. Most of the critical remarks seem to be on the wheel tire ratio - I like these trucks, lifted or slammed - but for me there is side wall ratio to wheel diameter for my preference - I like 20's on lowered trucks but not the rubber band look - but I've also never cared much for the look of a 44" on a 15" rim - I appreciate the look of the larger diameter wheel lifted options now.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

i agree 100%. less wheel more tire on 4wd imo

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

This truck is freaking sweet, I wouldn't change a thing. Although I would never buy 20+ wheels on my truck unless it was lifted to the sky and had some 38+ tires or something like that.

Back to this black truck, it is freaking awesome inside interior, engine, suspension, chrome and on black... wouldn't change ANYTHING!

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

Incredible truck, not my style for wheels, but you could just change 'em. I like all of it, especially the interior. Black is beautiful.

Re: Lifted 1972 Chevy K10 show truck
 

awesome!!! 100%

Like the title says,it's a show truck. It's a nice 4wd street machine.
