Can I get a decent ride from the stock rear leaf springs. If I use them I will seperate them, wire brush, paint and use the teflon liners. This pickup will be a street rod hauling nothing more than lawn chairs and easy up awning.
I have a set of Camaro Z28 5 leaf springs with shackles and front mount. Would be a lot more trouble to use, but I want to do the job ONE TIME ONLY.
Any suggestions which way to go
