Re: getting my truck today

Lookin good alot of progress my advice since you have it torn down completely and doing quite abit of repair to the body, yank the straight front axle and put in a nice suspension up front or your gonna be sorry later when the truck done and it rides like a stage coach heheh seriously though you will be very happy with the new stuff in it yea it cost out of your pocket alot more but no comparison on the ride difference. But if you keep the the stock front end in it take two leafs out and take them and have the straighten at a sheet metal shop and then put them back in other wise its gonna be too soft and bottom out when driving it with the motor and the front end back on it. Or you can do it like we did in the 70's get the weight on it and heat the springs until she slowly drops to where you want it and you dont have to take anything apart.
