1974 C30 Suspension help

Max, are you replacing the front springs also ? Because your existing springs are distorted.
Are those new Dick Cepek tires ? (just bought some but not mounted yet)

It looks like they are original 2-leaf springs with another leaf added to the bottom. The added leaf looks like it's probably from a rear spring pack, it's also narrower. Probably rides like a log wagon... or like Pro Comp springs, lol.

LOL.. My K30 is a log wagon ! Spilled coffee all over my knee while holding the coffee in my hand in a travel cup with the lid closed and only going 20 down the back street, and that street isn't that bad.
New springs on all 4 - but that didn't make it any worse - OR better

Nope, but @HotRodPC met up with him a while back. Said he's doing well and he's been very busy building up his company.

That's great ! Haven't heard from him since around the time I installed a new jackshaft operator on his front garage door, glad he's doing well.
He's probably 50 - 60 miles away in south Lafayette and I'm in SE Indy.
He has/had a ton of Squares N parts.
I really know the BUSY part, everyone is quick to give congrats when they find out how busy you are but it is very tiring and stressful ( likely attributed to my age and all the OT before now).

I can't remember for sure, but I think HRPC said he was operating out of a different location? I know with a fleet of newer and larger rigs, it would probably be difficult to operate out of the location I was at years ago.

Yes I am putting new leaf springs and shocks all around. Also the old tires are some junk cooper tires and they are on wheels from a early 2000's duramax. Im replacing both of those with new mickey thompson classic iii's with mickey thompson baja legend exp tires on it. You can barely see it in one of the photos but heres another photo.
