Pweeeeeeze?!
I think I can speak for a few of us here and say I am jealous (in a good way) of your builds 
and getting a 40x60 shop.

Let's be honest greg. You won't have this truck in 6 months.
This will be like the rest of the threads that you buy a crappy pile, spend a few weeks buying tires and a few miscellaneous parts and then it will go down the road.
If you have it a year from now? I'll send you 2 stickers.
Been looking for a short bed K10 for a long time. Was looking for one to restore in highschool, but stumbled on the K5 and fell in love too. You'll see, and I don't need a sticker to prove that I save squares, because in fact I do.
Saved the last one, and will save this one too.
Thanks man. Now if I could just get organized enough get going on a decent direction on one of them lol.I think I can speak for a few of us here and say I am jealous (in a good way) of your builds

No question about it. You are saving them. Pulling trucks from fields and getting them fixed up enough to sell, well there is something to be said about that. I don't do it because I would never sell them. Plus its damn near impossible to get people to sell Prarie dinosaurs anymore.
It just I wanted to give greg a sticker, not the 76s next owner a sticker.
Text me your address and ill send you one. Just put it on the k5 instead. Lol.
My dad bought this for me. I’ll never sell it.

Thats cool. I wish someone would be me some rusty trucks. Sure makes it easier on the budget when there isn't much initial investment.
Got the truck off the trailer tonight. My son recorded for me since he was the only other person home lol.
If I was an appliance, I would be a whirlpool brand. So hang on tight...
Ok so I am back and forth on the true direction of this truck. The young guy in me says to lift it and run 35's, the more practical side of me wants to leave it stock on some 31x10.50's.
I'm thinking the best thing for me would be to lift it a couple inches via zero rates and 1" body pucks. Then put some nice AT 33's on the factory rally wheels and leave it alone.
Am I going to happy with that? Who really knows...but I am up for opinions on this.
And a picture cause I like pictures.

I had that blue '79 K10 shortbed and loved it stock. It had a manual trans and 350. I think it had 31s on it on the factory rally wheels and I wanted to just throw some 32/11.50s on it and go with it for a driver. Shoulda never got rid of that truck. https://ck5.com/forums/threads/1979-k10-swb.323044/
I would just go the easy route for now since you have other more badass trucks to finish.

First thing is get it running and driving on some 31’s that hold air for sure.
Yep pisses me off I sold it. I bought it to flip it and needed to sell it for the money but hindsight says I was a dumbass for letting it go. I could a just put tires on it and it was perfect. Everything worked.
My dad had a Silver 85 shortbox scottsdale
. It had Rallies and 33 Bfg All terrains. It had factory 3 leave front springs. I really liked the look of that truck. Easy to get into and still looked very cool. It was in mint shape.
He had it for years. When he passed away I brought it home with me and had it for a few years. Our kids were just little at the time and we just never drove it. Ended up needing the money out of it for life situations and sold it. I still regret that decision!
I’ll look for pics of it.... I should have some on my computer.

I have yet to meet or talk to a single person that does not regret selling their SWB. And once I saw this was a k10, I knew it would be a forever truck.
I just don't know what route to go still.
