I've been putting some miles on the truck, and really enjoying it. It has an amazingly nice ride - especially for a leaf spring truck - which I attribute mostly to the tall Firestones I put on. I certainly do not recall it being this nice with the 22s.

I also think that with the diesel engine, which is heavier than a big block (I think) that the suspension is working to its optimal... uh, level. I dunno how to explain it, except that when I had a 1 ton it was hell to drive unless it was loaded: with a trailer it felt like a Cadillac... maybe it is something like that.

In addition to the brake work my steering is fixed, my friend fiddled with it and it is straight now. There is a pesky oil leak somewhere on the right side of the engine, but I am not in much of a hurry to find it.

Although I've gotten compliments on the interior I am thinking of changing it to black: my 67 K20 came with a bunch of 72 parts including a set of door panels and armrests, among other things. I have an idea for seats etc that I would like to try, too.
