Re: Spring Swap Thread - 1963 K15
Hey Eddy, I really like the ride of the 52"- 63" combo. Its probably the closest thing that I can get to a "new truck" ride without having to buy a new truck. As far as the body roll, before the installation of the front sway bar, pucker factor was at 11 all the time. Kinda creepy to say the least. With the addition of the '74 sway bar, it is much more predictable although Id still like one for the rear as well for the street driving that I do 90% of the time. Ive never ramped this thing but with as much droop as I saw when I was building it, and knowing that the travel of my shocks is limited, I would get strapped if I ever thought about wheeling it harder than an occasional fire trail or the like.
Unfortunately, last Thursday a compression test revealed 0 (yes zero) lbs on cylinders 3 and 4 on the 396. You'll probably see an "L29 Fuel Injected 454 Transplant" thread from me before any more tune ups or tweaks to the spring swap.
