1970 rear spring change

[dennislbrooks]

There are a lot of post on this and with a 2wd frame like I had, heer is what I did to make my 2wd coil to rear leaf springs using the 2wd frame which is bowed out at the wheelwells. Probably most oem rear spring trucks had a parallel/straight frame at the rear spring perch locations.

If this truck is to remain a 2wd, may not be worth the effort.
