Yeah,
They replied to my email and stated it should be another 3 to 4 weeks   :(
'73 Chevy C10, 350, TH350, was a long Fleetside, now she's a short Stepper that's under construction (been in the Family since 1972).

Would rather push a CHEVY than drive a Furd

I mean not for nothing but they are nothing but a spring pack with less leaves. Tell them to go fry ice.

Yeah, less leafs and a lot less arch i hope!   :)

I gota get this rear end out of the sky - since i took off that huge and heavy long fleet side, she looks like a 4 wheel drive with the stepper bed  :o

Why lowering leaves? Hangers and shackles will do the trick.

Hangers - maybe.

Shackles - probably not, don't really want to notch bed supports.   

Now i'm at about 15 weeks of waiting on the lowered leaf springs from Western Chassis - not good, this is holding up the project.   

Heck, now i'm wondering about an "axel flip" ???
