i do have a chevy frame, 2 as a matter of fact but i wanted to keep the gmc frame with the rest of it. i don't like leaf sprung rears, coils ride better and handle better. and i know ya can't haul much of sh*t, but i don't intend to. i have had many leaf sprung vehicles and nobody can sell me on one versus the other and the results are proven over the years. besides, once i bag it, it will perform comparable or better at hauling (if i wanted to) than any leaf sprung rear. thanks for all the input, i'm still not sure that i can swap in a trailing arm rear on the leaf frame but i'll find out for sure when i bust everything apart.
