Hey everyone. My name is Chris. This weekend I bought my first C10. It's an 83 short bed. The PO installed put in a 355, new tranny, 4.11 rearend, 2000 stall, and a few other things I am still learning about. Most the mechanical is in pretty good shape. One thing that he cut the corner on (literally) is lowering the C10. In the front he cut the Springs and I'm not sure what was done in the rear but there are a few leaf springs missing.
I know it's a truck, and I expect it to ride like one, but not like this. It leans on the drivers side (I'm 350lbs, but it still leans when empty). Just the smallest bump and it bottoms out on something.
I want to same up the money to drop it right but in the meantime I want to return it to stock. Does anyone have there old front springs sitting around that you would be willing to sell? I'm not sure what to do with the rear end and I'm looking for advise. I know the stock ride has to be better than this, and I don't want to tear the truck up. Here are a few quick snaps of "Ed".
