With the old girl being almost 50 years old I think I am going to just replace the coils all the way around. SPID says HD suspension. I am kinda leary about doing this myself, I know there is a lot of energy in those baby's even with all the weight off. For those that have done this, suppose it would be best to have my local shop just handle it or chain it up and see how it goes. Local place does restorations and builds on top of heavy truck work, they did some good work on my old C50 for the friend that bought it. Did some spring work on my new at the time GMC K15 with leaf springs but with out having the station lift available and the proper tools...?
