35's ????
if ur talkin 12.5s, than it would be no prob, you wont be able to go any farther obviously but im almost positive that they would fit, cause i had a 76, and i put a whole new body on it, and i put the body lift on as i put the body on, than i threw on some 35's, and they seemed to work great. plus, i'm sure you will be happy witht the look of 35's as well

im a pretty small guy, and i had a lot of trouble putting my 79 cab on my 76 chasis, so i had my friend who was like 6 4 250 pounds come over and then we just kinda put the whold truck together. i would play around with the 35's like they were baseballs. the 35's will work

this is scary....
I just got done putting a 79 cab on my 76 chassis. I put on a 3" body lift.
The main reason why this is freaky is because I am a pretty small guy...so I had a friend of mine come over (6'4" 250 lbs.) and we also put the truck together...sound familiar.
what size engine do you have???

right now i have a 360 in it, but i am thinking about putting a 390 in it, but i dont know much about 390s so i'll have to look into it, and i saw your question on mallory vs. msd, and i think you should go with the mallory

My truck originally had a 360 in it...but someone along the way put a 390 in it, and rebuilt the auto. tranny. I loved my 390 (when I could actually drive it) it had a LOT of POWER. I think the 390 is a 360 with a longer throw crank...little more torque, and otherwise they are pretty much the same. Go with the 390!!
thanks for all the help
