Coils v leafs is almost irrelevant if you love one color scheme over the other, or the cab lights, or anything you can't move from one to the other. They're both going to ride like 1960s trucks either way. I have leafs in this one and coils in the last one and I couldn't tell you the difference, though I'm sure it's there.

Sounds like you already have a strong preference. Go with your gut or you'll wind up spending hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars restoring the one you like less because it has a particular spring package!

That's my $0.03 anyway!
