Hi there
I have a new to me project that i am getting started on, and am trying to do a budget friendly restoration with my two sons. From what i can tell, this truck is a 3/4 ton, but it has a strange rear suspension set up. It has the regular leaf spring mounted outside of the frame, and a coil spring mounted directly under the frame and sits on top of the axle. It looks like the coils are original, or at least the same year, but i am suspicious that they are not a factory option.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Dealer option?
My thought was to take a few leafs out of the pack and possibly leave the coils in place. As it stands right now my 230lbs barely moves the suspension when jumping on the frame rails, and i am thinking my back will thank me when these are removed.
Thanks in advance
Jeremy
