Hey Mudder67, I saw your truck, Very nice!!!
My truck is the restoration process, and The Rancho Setup is made for 1973 trucks and up,
Didn't know how the fellow @ indy got his to work, Is there a difference in Frames. Going for the look, But the Wife would be made if the Ride was that terrible... I spoke to that fellow also, He finished the project in 3 Months.. Wow, Looked Pretty Good for 3 months of work...

You really only need double shocks if you haul ass off-road. Good single shocks should be suffecent for most off-roading. I have seen a nice double shock kit for 67-72 trucks.

I put double shocks on my 68 4x4. Really made the ride stiff. I would imagine the triple setup would make yor kidneys in to mush! By the way, Rancho makes shocks valved for the dual setup so there ride is not to terrible.
