Re: PO has me PO'd
Yes 6' beds had trailing arms, all 2WD half tons had trailing arms unless specifically ordered otherwise. When I was contemplating the 4WD coil thing I was looking at how hard it would be to adapt a Ford twin beam front diff. The problem really was that without an electronic differential transfer case you don't really get a more usable 4WD system. It's still a binding, bucking bronco on dry pavement with anything but open diffs and with seriously compromised handling.
I did the big 4WD on 37"s in my Suburban, it's awesome and you feel indestructable, but I'd rather have something now that makes me hang on around the turns... and not because you feel it's going over, I had a 215CI aluminum Buick V8 in a 1976 Buick Skyhawk back when I lived in Philly and loved that car on the river drives and down in Chester county. Eventually the Belgium block of Germantown ave ate that car , tore the whole front suspension apart.
