Thanks for the info Lobuck. I have decided to convert it to trailing arms though. I happened to be near user MT65 last week while on vacation and picked up the complete rear from his 65 and a set of mystery front springs. The rented minivan had no trouble with it
It's a start. Now I'll need to find the rest of the rear suspension parts to mount it!
Current challenge is to rebuild the front brakes enough to move it in and out of the driveway and get it down to the DMV. thankfully the front brake parts are pretty inexpensive.
On the way back we came across an awesome collection of old trucks and automotive oddities in Pomeroy, WA. This GMC still looks like a workhorse...
