69 C-10 rear coil to leaf swap
I have a 69 SWB C-10. I lowered it using cut springs in the front and a combination of chevelle rear springs and a 1" block.
I like the stance, but I miss having the payload capabilities the stock springs offered. I have been thinking about converting to rear leaf springs and doing an axle flip. This way I can have my desired ride height and the payload capabilities. I know the leaf will probably ride rougher than the current set up, but it is a truck. I'm not looking to haul yards of gravel, just the occasional engine, etc. Possibly tow a trailer. How hard is it to locate the spring hangers on the frame, and when doing the flip, do I need to use an axle pad with a offset center pin hole to center the wheel in the wheel well? Thanks for any suggestions. |
