Spring question
I am rebuilding my 69' and just wonder if I should repalce the spring in front or not. A little back ground on the truck: It sat from 1985 til now. has a 390 and I have never driven it to know anything about the ride.

re: Spring question
If the ride height is okay and it holds alignment your springs are probably okay.

re: Spring question
Give it a ride and test it out, see how it works. Chances are your bushings will be dried out badly, so I would grease up the tie-rods and king pins before you try driving it (if you are not replacing them)
