That would be a good solution to uprating my '67 K/10 Sub. The PO did give me some 4 leaf Rancho front springs, but they would not work on a '67-'68 frame without relocating spring perches and shackle locations. Another solution [as advanced by Arizona Spring -- a local shop] would be for them to reheat and recurve the originals and maybe add a helper leaf.
My engine weight calculation is based on a cheatsheet I have compiled, based on engine weight stats I have gleaned off the internet. It is by no means accurate, and I welcome corrections.
The OP has not stated what model his truck is, only the year MY 1970.
Longbed, shortbed, 4x2, 4x4, coil or leaf spring? We need more info.
