Re: 1987 Chevrolet K10 to K20 and repairs
Looks like a great project! Those Coopers appear to have a real nice tread pattern.

Re: 1987 Chevrolet K10 to K20 and repairs
Bolting up the rear axle. Turns out I ordered the wrong u-bolts. When I ordered the lift from Rough Country, I selected 1/2 ton instead of 3/4 ton. Which means my u-bolts were not big enough for the rear axle as its diameter is slightly bigger. I still managed to beat and squeeze them around the axle enough to slip them into place. Hopefully they wont give me any trouble or I reckon Ill just have to order the correct ones.

Re: 1987 Chevrolet K10 to K20 and repairs
Finally got it bolted up and the truck sitting on its own weight. Funny story, I went to advance auto and told the guy behind the counter that I need 32 lugnuts for this make and model. He then asked "front or rear?" Where do these people come from!?
 Long story short I just ordered some nice new shiny ones from summit racing

Re: 1987 Chevrolet K10 to K20 and repairs
Heres a couple of the wheels I ordered from summit racing. They are 17"x9" soft eights by Crager. I was kinda worried how a 13.50" wide tire would do on a 9" wide wheel but word on the internet says it would be alright for whatever thats worth
