Leaf to coil

[danpomeroy]

Hello again.

First, thank you to everybody that has answered my questions so far. The truck has been progressing, mainly getting the parts but it's been hot here so not a lot of wrenches have gotten turned. Plus, I just got a promotion at work and have been WAY busier.

Anyhow, I am converting the truck from leaf to coil, well, at least I want to. Do you guys have a link to a guide or some pics on how to do it? I am really good at following instructions and figuring things out but I love all the help I can get.

I realize I have to cut off the perches, weld on new ones, and get trailing arms and a panard (sp?) bar. But I also know there is some measuring and other things that I am missing. I've searched in here and there are lots of old posts and a bunch of "it was easy" but that's all I could find.

Any help??

Thank you for the help so far.
