Re: 1980 K20 Wood Truck Project

I don't know if you did this, but removing the hood hinges and springs, completely cleaning and greasing; white lithium works good, but there are other options; can do major wonders for the hood. Most of the time a stiff hinge and spring is what causes the hood to start to fold in the first place.

Coil spring shocks are a poor excuse to increase load capacity, they are rough riding for sure, I've done better with the helper springs that bolt to the leaf pack, the good ones don't apply extra load to the springs until the truck is loaded.

Good looking truck.
