Leaf spring?
I am picking up a swb '68 that has a rear leaf suspension. Is this a factory option or has it been modified at some time? Can it be made a coil spring rear? Thanks

Factory option. Converting to coils is do-able but not without a lot of mechanical ability and tools. IMO, you're better off leaving it as is, or locating a donor frame
