I have a 49 GMC FC101 that I am doing a light hot rod to. SBC, 700r4. It is a frame off. I bought the truck as a "stalled project". It came to me with just the cab temporarily mounted and all other sheet metal loose, no drive train other than the rear axle which came from a mid 80's Blazer. My question is, it has an 8 leaf spring arrangement which I suspect is going to be very stiff. I am contemplating taking out every other leaf to soften the ride and if it lowers it a bit that's OK too.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Any thoughts on shock choice and attachment would be nice also.
Tom
