1961 Coilover conversion
Hey guys,
I got done TIG welding the whole frame on my truck and i just ordered a narrowed fabricated 9 inch rear end from Chris Alston's chassisworks. I'm converting the rear over to a coil over rear end and I needed to see if you guys knew how much the rear of these trucks weigh so i can order the right pound springs for the coilovers.Thanks!

Re: 1961 Coilover conversion
Sounds like a neat build.... We need pictures!
As for rear weight... Open this link and select, "Chevrolet trucks", then select your year of truck. It then downloads a pdf with all the specifications for your truck, inluding truck weight at the front and rear axles. http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-h...tion-kits.html Happy Trails....
