Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check out Chassis Saver.

Dang, nice job!
Finally got my tires on today! I must be getting old because it took me forever and now I'm sore as hell.
Showing her good side
And her not so good side (dull):
Overall, I'm very happy with these Coopers and glad I went with Dyna Beads. There was no way I was going to mess with balancing these, especially with the little caliper clearance I have now after ditching the 16.5" wheels. She rides pretty damn good for an old 1 ton.
I was also surprised how well these tires fit with stock suspension. I'm almost thinking a 4" lift would be too much now.
Noticed today it would diesel for a second or two after shutting off, I'll have to look into that next. I REALLY don't want to put money/time into the quadrajet because I'd like to swap in a fuel injected motor (TBI at the very least) at some point.
I'm sure it needs a rebuild, but I'm afraid it will never run right after I tear into it. I bought Cliff's Q-jet "bible" a while ago but its mainly geared for high performance stuff, not an actual rebuild guide. I was "this" close to pulling the trigger on one of Cliff's SR rebuild kits for my old C30, but got cold feet and ended up selling the truck.
