Hey guys,
New to this forum, but not to off-roading. Wanted to say hi and had a question.
My numerous searches didn't find what I needed so....
I have the opportunity to get an '85 military CUCV pick-up truck, which as I'm sure you know has the great D60 / 14 Bolt combo and the heavy duty 1 ton frame. My question is, will the front lift springs from a 1/2 - 3/4 ton Chevy work on the one ton frame, or are the springs / mounts different?
I would be using a shackle flip for the rear, so I would only need the front springs. The 6.2 L diesel doesn't weigh much more than a typical BBC motor, and I don't really want stiff one ton springs up front either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dean
