Update!!!
One more week and the cab comes off the frame and it will be sent to the blasters!! w00t!
The suspension upgrades will be almost entirely Early Classic parts! Jeff is fantastic! As I have informed him my plans and has some very good insights on the directions of what I am planning and giving his thoughts. He is not trying to sell me, just instruct me how things works and why they work the way the do. He will most certainly have my business with customer service as which he has demo'ed for me over the phone.
Now instead of dropping 5" with coil springs (remember this is a LWB truck) it would be closer to 6" with the bed and gas tank back there. So will be shifting gears to 4" out back and 1" drop springs in front with 2.5" drop spindles. This way I will not have to worry about suspension travel on bumps, on-ramps via highways, etc. And the suspension will have enough movement to really do its job correctly.
Very excited at this point as the plan unfolds......
Please stay tuned as more will follow.
