Period correct wheels for 86 K10 Stepside?
Is the brand typically marked on them somewhere? I need to figure it out somehow. Rear is definitely using a lift block currently.- j-rad

Recommendations for a brand for front/rear lift springs that won’t be as stiff? I don’t know for sure what mine are, but the shocks are Rancho.- j-rad

I’ll probably bring it to an off-road shop near me who does a lot of lifts and see what they can tell by looking at it. Maybe they can suggest something softer if I keep the height. I will look at the shocks and see if there’s any branding too.- j-rad

Here's a picture of the back I just got, guess it does have lift blocks. This is 4"?- j-rad

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I think I'll leave the stance alone. It doesn't ride great currently, but I'm hoping that's because of the pictures below (front bushings issue) and maybe the mudders? Should I see a noticeable improvement in the ride switching from M/T to A/T (assuming...- j-rad

Carb replacement recommendation?
This thing is a beast. Considered a swap to a 350 but with all the body work it needs, figure I’ll embrace it for a while.- j-rad

Carb replacement recommendation?
Have a Blueprint Engines 383 stroker with 750cfm carb currently. Looking to replace the carb with something with an electric choke. Was considering the Holley 670 street avenger. A little better fuel economy would be nice and not worried about the performance hit. Is this a good carb, and is...- j-rad

Thanks. I think I’ll leave it as-is for a while and swap to 33” A/Ts and 15x8 Rally’s and see how it goes. Plenty of other work needed so I can wait on the decision on the lift.- j-rad

I actually think I prefer the factory height. This was my father’s farm truck in the early 90s and I don’t remember it being this lifted (although I was a kid). It was sold when he passed away many years ago and I tracked it down a couple years ago and bought it back. So I’m kind of going down...- j-rad

I’ll get some better pictures Monday. Will it look odd if I swap to 15” and 31” tires? Or keep 33” in a regular tire (not mudding)? I’m not enjoying the current tires for casual driving.- j-rad

I’m not with the truck until next week, but I have a few (poor) pictures that kind of show the leaf springs. Anything you can tell from these?- j-rad
