    20" wheels

    15x8 with 4in backspace and 255/60/15 tires. This should be big enough to fill the wheel well and small enough to not rub.

    20" wheels

    There are a lot of choices in a 15in wheel and tire combo, what kind of look do you want? Staggered, same size all around? Custom or stock?

    New to group!!!

    Welcome, nice truck. I would do a 3.5/5in drop its much less work than a 3/4in drop and 18in just look puny to me on a square. 20x8.5 and 20x10 would look way better IMHO.

    Correct Bed for a 79 K20 Round or Square

    Yes, get the filler necks and hose if its available. I believe all the bed bolts are the same from 73-87.

    Correct Bed for a 79 K20 Round or Square

    73-78 had the round fuel cap with single tanks on the right side. 79-80 had the square door with the single tank on right side. 81-87 had the square door with single tank on left side. On a side note the 79-83 beds have a fuel filler neck held on with 2 screws to an inner plate inside the fuel...

    76 grill.

    You need to change the center grill support with center hood latch to use a 77-80 grill and you need to do the same to run the 73-74 grill as well as the outer grille brackets. What is pictured bellow is 73-74 only.

    84 C-10 lowering

    Cut out the bumpstop mount would be the only mod needed for a 4/6 or 5/7 drop.

    drive shaft for lowered trucks

    Ok, well that's a problem, you can't run a traditional drive shaft with a bolt on trans yoke and I am not sure if you can easily convert your TH400 to a regular tail shaft with slip on yoke. We may need @HRPC to answer this yoke delima.

    HOW TO: front clip swap, 73-80 front clip on 80-87 cab/frame, square eye to round eye

    Nice work, I have been contemplating doing a full 73-74 conversion on my 82.

    What seats are these?!

    I don't know about the seats but the base and tracks look just like big truck air ride bases. Do they have an air bag in them?

    drive shaft for lowered trucks

    Yes sir, just one shaft. Throw the whole carrier in the trash or save it in your shed.

    3/4 Drop - wheel fitment

    Lol! Hope the grinding was fun..... Anyway, if you loosen the shackle bolts you can get enough play to line up the leaf spring to get the bolt in.

    drive shaft for lowered trucks

    I doubt it, but the junk yards a littered with lwb squares. Im sure you should be able to find one or have one made for a $200-$300. What you need is a center u-joint to center u-joint measurement. Slide your yoke in the transmission until it bottoms out, then slide it beck out 3/4in, then...

    E-Brake cables

    This should give you an idea of the layout and roughly where to locate the hook point.

    drive shaft for lowered trucks

    Yes this mod is to correct pinion angle after drop, but honestly it would be much easier to just convert to a single drive shaft. Both LWB and SWB were optioned with 1 or 2 drive shafts.

    84 C-10 lowering

    It sound like a 2.5/4in drop would be best for you. Drop spindles in the front and drop hangers and shackles in the rear.
