Re: Vern, my ‘77 swb Fleetside
Well, since it's rainy and crummy out, I decided to go down to the garage and do some tinkering on Vern. I put new door pins in to get rid of the sag related to 40+ years of use. I also put a Comfort Grip steering wheel in to do away with the sticky stock wheel.
I also came to the realization that I'm going to need to do some work to the rear suspension. There are only 4 leafs with no overload spring, so I guess I know how the previous owner lowered the rear. I want to go back to a stock set of leaf springs and just add a flip kit so I can regain the load hauling ability, but have it match with the incoming 4.5" drop for the front.
