Thread from the dead! Here's my '70 with new front coil springs, but original rear leaf springs. Note that it had a camper shell installed in '73, and a new one installed in '16. I'm looking at the rear leaf springs with a jaundiced eye, for wear. Due for replacement. Of course, sitting on a sloped driveway may cause a difference, so take this pic with a grain of salt. I have the original 16.5" steel wheels and new (in that pic) Firestone Transforce 9.50R16.5LT tires (on 8" wide wheels). Plus a bunch of junk in the bed, which doesn't weigh all that much difference- maybe 200 pounds of stuff.

That is, if the OP from 9 years ago is still here or cares...
