driving over bumps
On my 71 lwb with coil rear, the rear of the truck kind of fishtails when you go over bumps at a decent speed. I have recently replaced rear springs. Shock are a couple of years old. Why does it do this? How can I fix it? This is extremelly dangerous and I need to fix it. I don't like the "butterlys in stomach" feeling! I am told that this is somewhat normal?

You might take a look at the bushings in the trailing arms & track bar......bad bushings could cause that . good luck....crazy al

Kinda funny here, my 71 3/4 does this with leafs and my 67 with coils doesn't. Bothers me too especially if the pavement is wet. I would replace the bushings in track bar and trail arms if haven't done already. That might do it.
