you would probably wanna do 6 inch suspension lift and 3 inch body lift, or just leave it like that and put it on 12 or 14 wide rims and some m/ts

you can defently fit 38's if ya cut the corners on the front fenders speacially if your not gonna wheel it hard. . .
my 78 (same openings) i had 39's on it with 4 and 3 and then 44's with alot of cutting

this was 4 and 3 with 39's (stupid sts's . . only on there a week lol) *tear* it was such a small truck then

+1 Throw some 14 wides and some 35x16 boggers on it. That would look hot.

ya do know that the 1/2 and 3/4 ton fronts run everything the same except the lug pattern? all the axle shafts, wheel bearings, gears, hubs and brakes etc.

so the front is usually what people don't like 1/2 tons but i don't like the 10 bolt rears with c clips . 12 still has c -clips but a little stronger
