Leaf to coil

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.
