    1978 C15 Short Bed Step Side Leaf Spring Question

    Just picked this critter up a few weeks back. Looking around under it, I noticed the thing had 7 leaf springs plus the mounting bar on each side. Curious as to if this is the norm? Anyone got one or other wise know what theirs is, such as number of leafs? I note there is new iron under there...

    Accel HEI Super Coil (140003) Magic or Trash

    My new 78 is running an Accel HEI Super Coil, number 140003.

My old 69 C10 step side always got attention, as it rolled down the highways and byways of The State of Washington...
