Underliner - can you share your rim and tire size specs on the two tone blue Chev? Looks great, I may be copying that for my new GMC K25, need to get the balloons off that it came with.

The tires are 265/75/R16 mounted onto 16” steel wheels. I believe they are 16”x6.5” but I am not 100% certain. The truck has 2” springs as well.

Your truck is awesome. I think it would rock the same look perfectly.

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)

now that's cool - I wouldn't have known the guy that lived there in 72 - the stream of folks that moved in and out was continuous, but I know right where the address is - I worked about 1 block from Nimitz Ave - in fact, this pic was taken from near where Nimitz ran past the building I worked in (would have been behind me out of the pic by about a hundred yards maybe). Sure miss that place

Both of them are awesome. These trucks look good whether they are showing there 50+ year age or in fresh paint, and the K20 is king of them all in my opinion!

Love it, excellent looking truck! I can’t wait till I get paint on mine and it’s looking spiffy like a lot of the trucks on here. I bet that’s a fun truck to drive.
