68 gmc leaf springs to coils.

[winky]

Converting my 68 gmc frame to coils from a 71 lwb chevy. I've searched and searched but it seams everyone was asking for pics or didn't provide detailed info on doing the swap. Anyways can anyone provide tips? I'll be starting the week and when I'm done I plan on doing an in depth write up for people to go by. Just figured I'd ask if anyone could throw some tips to me.


I know the cross member under the cab is the same. I just have to swap the trailing arm brackets on to it. The rear x member that the Trac bar bolts to appears to be the same as well besides needing the bracket mounted.

My 68 lead Frame does not have the x member the supports the shock that the 71 coil frame has. Seams no holes for it or for mounting the coils.


Thanks for any input!
