I like yours man just like my old one, love to have one like it.
hey if i can't get the leaf springs worked out like i want it might be up for sell soon. i'm tired of it sitting in the garage taking space. the wife is constantly telling me to just buy new springs from the catalog but thats like $500 after tax and shipping. i want some nice inexpensive used springs to put on it. cost effective. up here in the hills the rust has destroyed any kind of parts trucks in the junkyards, so a good set is hard to find.

i found a place to repair my old leaf springs. now i have to tackle the pulling to the right when braking
