72 K-10 on Mecum

Sitting here watching the Mecum Auctions, and a 72(?) K-10 was sold for a cool $50k. First of all this was a full LS power plant conversion, so it’s not original, but what caught my eye was that both the front and rear tires didn’t appear to be centered in the wheel wells. Did anyone else see this, or was I imagining things?

Re: 72 K-10 on Mecum

I didn't see the truck on Mecum, but it's my experience that the rear tires are not centered on the K trucks. The rear axle sits a little forward. Here's a picture of my K1500, basically stock except for a small lift...

Nice truck.👍
Now that I see yours, I guess it’s normal
