One of the greatest things about Project Patina is how absolutely unreal it drives on the road.
One finger action on a fairly rough road at 60 mph. All day.
I attribute it to a few factors. New steering rod ends. Stock springs. Stock shackles. Narrow tires.
The only problem with these 700-15's though is that as good as they look on this vintage truck they are Loud as hell. Non-radial MTs. As a high school kid I loved that sound. As an old man I don't love it so much.
Why does no one make a stock height spring anymore @cruiseroutfit ?? How many leafs would I have to take out of a set of lights OME leafs to be able to run stock shackles?
I'm formulating a plan to maybe use my split rims and get some 235/85/16's for the truck.
I likely need a little lift for them in the uncut rear as my springs are absolutely flat.
I saw that a guy from AU is about to sell some hubcap clips through @Racer65 so my split rims are back in play.
