I bought this a few weeks ago to resale. But the more I look at it the more I wanted to keep it. I plan on putting leaf springs under the rear & discs up front. Maybe lower it a little & use it as a tow vehicle that all the family can ride in.

Why go through the trouble of leafs? you can put lowering coils in the back, with air backs inside as helpers, and air them up when towing/hauling. No compressor needed either, you can just run a shrader valve like the old air shocks since you wouldn't be running on them all the time.

The leafs were just a thought. A friend of mine has the back half of a leaf spring truck he said I could have. And he would help me install it.
