Re: 73-87 C20 ride much different from newer 2500?

In order of ride comfort:
1987 R10, nice seat, tired suspension, rides awesome, handling not so much.
1999 C2500 extended cab short bed. 300# in front of the tailgate really helped. A 2200# Bridgeport mill in the bed gave a great ride.
2017 1500 regular cab long bed 4wd. WAAY over shocked. Bounces around a lot. Thankful I didn't get a short bed.
1981 3/4 ton 2wd. Rode like an unsprung hay wagon. Best with about 1000# in the bed.
