C20 4x4 roller suspension
 
I'm looking at a couple of c20 4x4 rollers one of which has 8 leaf springs in each rear and 2 on each front side. This was an old farm truck and I wonder if restored with this suspension would it be too rough of a ride? Other C20 rollers I've looked at have fewer leafs all around. Anyone know what the standard road GVW and related suspension, (leaf springs, front and back) would be for a decent riding C20 4x4. I know back in those days you could feel every bump in your teeth but didn't pay too much attention to it. Just wondering about too many leafs and the related ride?

Thanks

You can send the eight leafer to me LOL. I believe that is probably a custom camper, mine rides a little rough but it hauls a cabover camper great.

My 68 C20 2 wd has the 10 pack leaf springs in the rear and HD 3/4 coils up front. It will rattle fillings out sometimes, like on wash board. But I still drive it daily. Looking to install bags with trailing arms or reduced leafs with helper bags. Haven't decided yet.
