Got a weird 68. One for the Gurus

[ayellow56]

Ok, here go we go. Got a 68 GMC 1/2 ton from a guy in Kansas a week or so ago and finally got to really looking it over on the lift. What I have is a leaf spring 1/2 ton rear suspension. There is no evidence of the frame ever being a 4x4 configuration or the cab for the transfer case etc. It has been c notched and the diff was flipped. My base question is does it make any sense to convert to trailing arms and coils now that intent is to bag it later down the road. I'm currently in full disassembly mode for engine bay clean up ,re wiring,disc conversion ,paint , you get the point. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Steve.
