How many springs are in your rear leaf pack?

Heh. Reminds me of when I traded a '77 Lincoln Continental Mark V for my '78 K10.

Awesome swap, try not to miss the Caddy too much lol.

Looks like an awesome trade!! I say keep the lumber rack and get a bumper sticker that says: "sierra club take a hike to hell!"

lol thanks for the suggestion. The lumber rack did not come with the truck, and although i like the idea, im not big on bumper stickers.

Funny thing is, i was going to settle for pretty much any pickup. Just by chance the only dude to offer trade was this guy!

Well, this weekend I'm going to pull it out of my little one car garage and flip it around to make it easier to weld up the new exhaust and get started on the other two wheels. After that I'll get some "after" pics and if I remember, some before and after videos of the exhaust sound.

I just remembered to look at my spid, it shows like yours H.D chassis package code F44. My rear spring pack has 8 leaves. Pretty sure you got a big 10 truck. You should also have a 12 bolt with larger drums and 1.25" front rotors...

enjoy!
