My buddy had a '60 1-ton flatbed,and it hauled,and handled better than my '73 Derge D-300! This was in '79! Check your coils,and torsion bars. Make sure all A-Arm bolts are tight against the frame. You should be able to adjust your torsion bars,IF I'm not mistaken. They're made of spring steel,so they're built to take way more torque than you could dish out.It may take some doing to pre-load them,(on re-installation),though. You could replace the shocks with heavier-duty ones,as well. This fix shouldn't be too expensive,as long as your coils are O.K. Hope this Helps!

It takes an awful big dog to weigh a ton.
