Re: 81 K30 Flat Bed
Thanks guys again.
Here is the new stance. It used to be slightly lower with no load in the rear. I read that the Velvet Rides could lower the ride hight some which is why I put the extra 1" block in there.
There is a huge difference in ride quality compared to the few miles that I drove around on all the worn out hdw that I replaced. I am very happy with it and cant wait to get a few cords of wood in it.
Marcus, the rear springs are 8 over 1. I called Oregon Spring to get mine rebuilt and rearched and they said it would be cheaper to get new rather than rebuild because of freight and the fact that I live in the middle of nowhere.
It was 8 over 1 or 9 over 1 which is the heavier gvw for these trucks. I said great give me the p/ns and I will call back after counting the leaves.
So I took the p/ns and hit the internet and found the cheapest to my door. They are Dayton/Stanley springs.
Joe, its the Aluminum tool box that is going to get polished and the bed painted. I wish it was the other way around.
y5, those Velvet Rides have been sitting in my garage for 9 years and 11 months according to the receipt. I heard they were sold to another mfg and then fizzled. I wish my air bags would fit this c&c layout but there is no room between the brake backing plate and the leaf.
