Cab over camper in a c-10

[krazy_texan]

Well ok so my situation is that I have opportunity to get me a really cheap 1975 Winnebago slide in truck camper but my truck is only a c-10 now granted I have all the paperwork on the camper it says it is supposed to weigh just over 2000lbs fully loaded but this thing is mostly gutted like someone started working on it. I would call it a deer hunters special lol but I plan to mostly use it as a dry place to sleep and occasionally get out of bad weather I'm not gonna fully load it up with a full kitchen and what not. So I'm wondering if I just put some 3/4 rear springs on my truck if i would be fine hauling this thing around

Good ? When I finally get my 64 SBS done I'd like to get a small one to slide into it ocassionally and hit the dirt. I'm thinking about 1500-1700lbs. I used to have a 63 that I welded a shortened set of springs on the trailing arms. Once it sank so low, those second springs would kick in. They also used to have a set of helper leafs that are easily attached. Let's see if we get anymore feedback.

Well what I have researched the springs on 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks are the same the difference in the trucks is in the thickness in the frames, reinforced trailing arms, heavier duty shocks, axles, drive shaft and brakes and the front suspension is heavier duty so I'm thinking if I can find some overload springs and I'll put some 3/4 ton shocks on the rear of the truck
