    VPW should still have them.
    But yea, ABLinn had the greatest prices on them. Selling them on ebay for $100 a piece+$35 shipping.

    Near the end, he refused to ship them. So not many people can drive to South Carolina to pick up a set.
    Darn waste of vintage iron if they went to the scrapper.

    Actually looking into the possibility of a custom set now.
    Looking for a little better ride and for them to hold up to the weight.
    Not exactly easy to find for our platform.

    I weighed my truck at work the other day and it was 6550 with 3650 up front and 2900 on the rear.
    That was empty and maybe 5 gal of fuel.

    Sort of want a flatter spring with more leaves to keep the current stance. Also want more modern bushings.

    Any ideas out there?

    Having them fabricated locally, if applicable, makes the most sense to me.
