Looking for a 3" body lift k5

[moneypit_K5]

for the k5, Im thinking it is a specific fit for the '76-'80 style, because of the different floor heights. Feel free to set me straight if im mistaken.

The floor and frame are the same from '77-91 on the K5. Do you realize all the hassles that go along with a 3" body lift though? Shifter have to be modified, your cooling fan shroud will be useless (unless you have electric fans already), your brake lines and wiring may need to be modified... Not to mention they make most trucks just plain ugly.

It changed with the full top to half top change right?

No, one year after the top changed from what I remember. 73-75 full top, 76-91 half top. 73-76 high floor, 77-91 low floor.

what the hell were they thinking anyway?


do you happen have a bodylift sitting around? Im heading up to Seattle this weekend...

Sorry, no body lifts... I have just about anything you could think of for stock parts after parting out 3 or 4 different rigs in the last year though.

Actually, the floor and frame mounts changed in '78 for improved rear seat foot/leg room. My 77 blazer has a 3in BL that I may decide to remove, looks like it might be a pain in the butt though.

well hey, let me know whether you decide to pull it.

Also, the more I think about it, they changed floor styles three times.

'73-75 with the super tall rear floor,
'76-'78 with the floor that comes to the front seats,
'78-91 with the floor that allows for more rear leg room.
