My K30 came with 9 leafs in the rear with 2 overloads and 4 leafs in the front with just a slight positive arch with or without a 454 sitting in it. It was a cab & chassis model and it also has the camper special badges on the cab so I guess that's why it was so beefed up.

The truck keeps looking better and better man!

Could you have torched the rivets out of that front cross member, slid it forward then re-drilled and bolted it in place?
