Hey guys.... I'm not a regular over here but I have a big soft spot for 64-66 big window short fleets so I do check in from time to time.
For those wanting to drop the rear & still haul cargo, you should consider air bags. You can swap a pair of dbl convoluted bags in place of the coils, plum some DOT airline to a convenient location & install schrader valves to add/delete air pressure when wanted. It's a basic set-up that rides great, isn't too cost prohibitive ( 2x bags @ $75ea, DOT airline <$20, & 2x schrader valves @ $5ea), & works well.
Just keep the air pressure @ a set amount for normal driving & when it's time to 'work', add a little air just like you would to your tires.
Awsome trucks over here BTW!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
