You MIGHT get away with going with the 73-87 parts in yours.
GM might not have changed the front suspension and steering pieces much, if even at all.

The ONLY lift kit I am familiar with for the 2WD trucks is from Fabtech.

cheapskate

I did my own lift on my 70 K10.
On the front, by removing all the leaves, but the main, and adding shortened rear leafs, for the arch.
On the back, I did it cheap and cheesy, by adding 2" blocks, and a couple extra long leaves.
I didn't go up enough to adversly affect the pinion, or driveline angles, so I didn't even bother getting pinion angle shims.
It wasn't a monster truck with 44's kind of lift, but I had plenty of room to get in a bad twist without rubbing my L78 grip spurs.

How much are you wanting to go up?
