At a crossroads with 3/4ton suspension

[SpudWrench]

I know it's my truck and I can do what I want but need a little input from the vets. I rebuilt a 65 c20 chassis and discovered it wasn't as smooth of a ride as I hoped, it drove exactly like a brand new 3/4ton from 60 years ago see my build thread. hoping to go to some shows this summer.

Now after going down the rabbit hole of replacing an eaton ho52 im starting to lean towards a full 5 lug swap. Unless i can find a dana 60 coil rear end. It's been harder to find than i thought. I'm sure the rebuilt 283 and sm420 don't mind the 4:10 in the back currently. I could probably get over it too if handling smoothed out some. Then it's worth continuing the search for my dana 60. I want same or close to factory WMS length axle and am not interested in modding a corp 14 bolt. Don't mind painting and redoing a track bar. But it's got to be highway friendly and coil ready. The c10 life seems so much simpler ha-ha. Anyway...

My current main focus is the c20 front disk swap dilemma. I picked up a full complete 72 c20 disk front end for almost nothing a while back and am ready to start working on it. but after driving on my truck for a bit all i care about is making it the most comfortable badass daily cruiser it can be.

I wanted to stay 8 lug and was going to swap in 1/2 coils regardless. I understand c10 arm shaft bushings are rubber. Does that make a difference? I guess my question is...

-What are the drivability differences in a 70-72 c20 front end versus 73-87?

-Would 73-87 c10 front end handle any different than a c20 front end on 1/2 ton coils?

-Those c20 builds, what did you decide on?

I need to post more so I don't vomit everything into one thread
