Hey there. I do not know if they would work for your application or not. These are the models of trucks we had them built for. I would be glad to sell you a pair and if they did not work, you could send them back for a refund, less shipping & paypal fees. Thanks, Fred.

I'm new to this part of vehicle work, is there a place that shows more pictures of the installation and/or setup?

I have a 74' C20, these will fit right? (just making sure!).

Hey there. Thanks for the interest, but I don't think these will work for you. They are for 1/2 ton trucks. Your axle tubes are probably a larger diameter. Thanks, Fred.

We did not cut any coils off the front, replaced them with a set from Summit Racing. Thanks, Fred.

1slo_camaro · 08-04-2013, 10:03 AM

anybody know where to get a frame notch? similar to the ones like included in the belltech kits? I cannot seem to locate them separately, I know they are NOT necessary but i plan to throw on some extra stuff and i do tow a small travel trailer from time to time, the extra travel would be nice.

1slo_camaro · 08-05-2013, 01:14 AM

/\ what if you just added a spring or two to your leafs? would that help any? or better shocks?

I just installed my brackets and it was extremely easy and hopefully will get pics up shortly, but the bed is pulled off and i want to level the truck and get the rear section of the frame cleaned up and painted and a few things attended to before i put the bed back on so hopefully i wont have to pull the bed again for awhile.
